In this powerful and deeply informative podcast, Dr. Mitali Rathod, Obstetrician and Gynecologist, an expert in women’s reproductive and hormonal health, opens up about her own mental health journey while breaking down the science behind the female body. From menstruation and hormonal cycles to PCOS, infertility, and contraception, this conversation uncovers the truths, taboos, and emotional realities that women face daily but rarely discuss openly. Dr. Matali explains how weekly hormonal shifts affect mood and energy, how endocrine disruptors silently harm fertility, and why menstrual health deserves the same attention as any other vital health topic.
This episode goes beyond just facts—it’s a call to action. It offers practical advice on managing painful periods, improving vaginal hygiene, choosing the right contraception, and navigating the emotional toll of treatments like IVF. Dr. Matali also emphasizes the critical link between mental and hormonal health, urging women not to suffer in silence and advocating for better sex education and open dialogue in families and communities. Whether you’re a woman trying to understand your body better, a partner wanting to offer more support, or a parent or professional working to break generational silence—this podcast is a must-listen.
