    Dr. Helen O'Neill Hertility - Why Our Hormones Hold the Key to Our Health

    On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind. Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world). This is for any woman who is furious at the medical system for ignoring our health, our periods, our fertility and in turn our ability to show up with energy and joy with answers to whats going on.  My guest is a phenomenal irish woman Dr Helen O’Neill who decided we deserved better.  She is a molecular geneticist, reproductive scientist, and as CEO and Co-founder of Hertility Health, an award-winning women’s health biotech company she is pioneering a shift in female healthcare. Dr. Helen saw how abandoned women are in healthcare and decided to use what she knows to create answers.   Hertility makes Advanced Tailored hormone and fertility testing kits that are delivered straight to your home. With answers you then have referrals to partner clinics. But don’t worry this isn’t heavy on the science, but it is full of proof that there are several generations of women that know that something is wrong without knowing how to get any answers.  For more visit HertilityHealth.com Get in touch with me at stretchmarkspod@gmail.com  Hosted on Acast.

    Shonagh O'Connor - A Termination after 12 weeks: How women are still being denied abortion care in Ireland

    On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind. Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world). TRIGGER WARNING - PREGNANCY TERMINATION This episode discusses the termination of a pregnancy due to fatal fetal abnormality. But if you can stay - please do, because every woman in Ireland needs to hear this story to understand why our abortion legislation is letting down women who need and deserve to be cared for - here - in this country.  My guest this week is mother of two Shonagh O'Connor. She contacted me and she asked me would I consider covering the topic of termination specifically to highlight how for some women they fall outside of the legislation and don’t receive care here. She explained her story and my response was to invite her to share it with you too - in her own words.  At 12 weeks and 2 days, at a scan, she was told that her pregnancy was unlikely to continue to term. But as she was 12 and 2 days that there was nothing they could do for her in Ireland. She would have to travel to the UK for a termination. If she had been 11 week she could be treated here, despite the historic referendum, a landslide of 66.4% voting in favour to repeal the 8th amendment and provide abortion care for women in Ireland. This conversation acts as an example of how we are still exporting care of women in need of reproductive healthcare in this country.

    Caitlín Kirrane - PMDD, Self Regulation and Stretched Beyond Reason Building Your Family Home

    On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind. Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world). This week I’m joined by Caitlín Kirrane @mrscaitlinkirrane, to talk about the stretch of holding on to the vision of building their family home in the West of Ireland while living as a family of 4 kids, 2 adults in a mobile home for 6 years. Beyond the house we also talk about hormonal and mental health particularly Caitlín's struggles with PMDD Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and how as she approaches 40 those hormonal dips have become unsustainable for a healthy happy life. We talk about what PMDD feels like for her, starting hormone replacement therapy to help even out her month, her non negotiables, boundaries and approach to life.  You can find me on instagram @sinead.omoore and @stretchmarkspodcast Produced by the brand story For brand collaborations and sponsorship please email stretchmarkspod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
