    Women Are Told This Is “Normal”… It Isn’t with Dr Shirin Lakhani

    Women are told to put up with far too much. Painful periods. Bladder leaks. Menopause symptoms. Pain during intimacy. Changes after pregnancy. But just because something is common doesn’t mean you have to accept it. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Shirin Lakhani to have the women’s-health conversations we should have been having years ago. We explore: ➤ The symptoms women are wrongly told are “normal” ➤ Why women can wait years before getting the right diagnosis ➤ The menopause symptoms nobody prepares you for ➤ Why bladder leaks aren’t something you simply have to live with ➤ HRT, hormones and why treatment needs to be individual ➤ Pelvic-floor health and where women should actually start ➤ The intimate-health treatments available today ➤ How to choose a safe, qualified practitioner ➤ Why libido is about far more than hormones  If you’ve ever been told to “just get on with it”, this conversation is for you. Because common doesn’t mean normal — and getting older doesn’t mean accepting symptoms that affect your quality of life.  Pasted text  Pasted text Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Dr Shirin Lakhani 00:28 From GP to women’s-health specialist 02:21 Why women’s health has been underserved 03:23 Why GP appointments often leave women frustrated 04:18 “It’s just part of being a woman” 05:37 The symptoms women wrongly think are normal 06:38 What a proper women’s-health assessment looks like 07:49 Why examination and diagnosis matter 08:23 Intimate-health treatments explained 09:15 Why treatment should always start simple 10:07 Why there are no real “quick fixes” 10:49 Is women’s healthcare actually improving? 12:34 Why women are still scared of HRT 13:15 The dangers of self-diagnosing online 13:44 Menopause is much more than hot flushes 15:52 HRT vs BHRT explained 17:18 Bladder leaks after pregnancy and menopause 18:13 How common is incontinence? 18:33 Why everyone should learn pelvic-floor exercises 19:47 What to do if you’re experiencing bladder leaks 20:45 Life-changing patient stories 21:32 What is lichen sclerosus? 23:42 The risks of choosing the wrong practitioner 24:05 What to check before having intimate treatments 24:49 Men’s intimate health and hormone changes 26:53 Male hormones vs female menopause 27:46 How to age better from your 20s 28:35 Are intimate-health treatments painful? 29:46 When “no treatment” is the right answer 30:12 Looking at women’s health holistically 31:34 Where to find Dr Shirin 32:12 Quickfire: women’s-health myths 33:04 The truth about libido 33:22 What people misunderstand about female hormones 33:44 Treatment trends Dr Shirin approaches with caution 33:47 Final thoughts The discussion around women sometimes experiencing symptoms for 10–15 years before diagnosis is particularly strong and could also make an excellent short-form clip.

    Can You Really Get Glass Skin? Debbie Thomas Explains What Works

    What does “glass skin” mean beyond the immediate glow after a treatment? On this episode of The Late Late Aesthetics Show, Vanessa Lana Brown is joined by skin expert Debbie Thomas to discuss K-Lift, the treatment she developed by combining microneedling, E50 exosomes and LDM Triple. Debbie explains what LDM Triple is, what a multi-frequency ultrasound treatment feels like, and why she believes the order of treatments matters. They also explore how practitioners decide which technologies work well together, rather than simply adding more steps. The conversation tackles the questions patients should ask before booking: Who might K-Lift suit? What are the possible side effects and downtime? How do you tell a temporary glow from a lasting change in skin quality? And how strong is the evidence behind ultrasound-assisted product delivery and exosomes? After nearly 30 years working with skin, Debbie shares how she judges new trends, what responsible claims should sound like, and what genuinely healthy skin means to her. Subscribe for honest conversations about aesthetics, skin health and patient safety.
