Justice Secretary David Lammy has announced plans for a sweeping range of reforms to criminal courts in England and Wales. The proposals include scrapping jury trials for cases where sentences are likely to be less than three years and for trials involving ‘particularly technical and lengthy fraud and financial offences'. They will only be kept for the most serious offences, including murder, robbery and rape. However there are fears that the proposed changes will have a disproportionate impact on women, whether as victims or when accused of a crime and then particularly for women of colour. Nuala McGovern discusses the reforms with Fiona Rutherford, Chief Executive of legal reform charity Justice, barrister Emma Torr, Co-chief of Appeal, a law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions, and Val Castell, Deputy National Chair of the Magistrates' Association. A petition has been launched calling for a national endometriosis registry to track and audit data on diagnosis, treatment and surgery outcomes. It's been spearheaded by Jessica Smith, who, like an estimated one and a half million women in the UK, suffers with endometriosis, a condition which occurs when the tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus, grows in other places, such as the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. Campaigners say the level of care is a post code lottery, with long wait lists and that by streamlining this information some of the gaps in care could be eliminated. Jessica joins Nuala along with Professor Ranee Thakar, President of the Royal College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians.The Women's Institute has announced a big change - from next April it will no longer offer membership to transgender women. The UK Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that the legal definition of a woman can only be based on biological sex. This comes the day after it was announced that transgender girls can no longer join the Girl Guides, Brownies or Rainbows. The Women's Institute says it's decision comes with the ‘utmost regret.' Melissa Green, Chief Executive of the National Federation of Women's Institutes explains why they came to this decision. The BBC's political correspondent Phil Sim gives the background.Do you like everything to be perfect for Christmas dinner party hosting – the spotless house, the elaborate menu, the Instagram-worthy table setting? But what if the secret to a great dinner party isn't perfection, but scruffy hosting – a trend that is apparently transforming the way we gather together and makes stress-free dinner parties more attainable - perhaps a one-pot dinner, mismatched cutlery, toys under the table or children running around screaming. Helen Thorn, Comedian, Podcaster and one half of Scummy Mummies tells Nuala why she embraces this type of hosting. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

Send us a textYou've probably heard at some point that endometriosis is a lifelong, progressive disease that only gets worse with time. But the research tells a very different (and far more hopeful) story.In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Edmonds, author of Heal Endo, to break down decades of studies showing that endometriosis often stabilizes, regresses, or even resolves. We explore why symptoms don't always reflect lesion behavior, how inflammation and the nervous system influence endo, and what this means for your healing.This conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful.Highlights:The myth of inevitable progressionWhat studies actually show about lesion behaviorWhy symptoms ≠ progressionThe role of inflammation, immunity, and the nervous systemHow lifestyle can support your body without obsession

They explore handling independence, fostering respect and self-esteem, navigating romantic relationships, and managing discipline with repair-focused consequences.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis touch far more than the reproductive system—they influence metabolism, mood, inflammation, digestion, sleep, and the way women feel in their bodies every day. In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore these conditions through a lens that views the body as a connected, intelligent system rather than a collection of separate parts. Learn how PCOS and endometriosis affect the whole body, why insulin, inflammation, and estrogen pathways matter, and which evidence-supported supplements may help. You'll also see how stress, sleep, nutrition, movement, pelvic-floor therapy, and acupuncture support hormonal balance, along with the shared patterns that make both conditions responsive to a multi-therapeutic approach. If you've ever wondered why symptoms feel so widespread—or why standard treatments sometimes fall short—this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a grounded view of what whole-body healing can look like.

Dr Stacy Sims, expert in female physiology and training, collaborates with fx Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir to discuss the intricate relationship between hormones and physical performance. Together they explore how the female hormonal cycle introduces unique challenges and opportunities. The follicular phase is the time when women typically excel physically, while the ovulatory phase can bring variations in how one feels during exercise. The mid-luteal phase can be challenging for high-intensity training, and the days leading up to menstruation require tailored adjustments due to mood, heart rate, and performance changes. Tailored exercise strategies are discussed, with tips for conditions like endometriosis and PCOS. Maintaining muscle mass during peri/menopause through specific exercise approaches is emphasised. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is clarified as not reversing aging but preserving lean muscle mass through exercise. The podcast also covers injury prevention, nutrition, and hydration strategies, offering women and clinicians an holistic guide to optimise their fitness journey throughout life.

In this episode of MaternalRx, Dr. Elif Polat, MD, researcher, endometriosis advocate, and Turkey representative for Worldwide EndoMarch, joins Dr. Danielle Plummer to discuss the often misunderstood and deeply complex condition of endometriosis. Dr. Polat unpacks what endometriosis truly is, explaining how it's both an inflammatory and hormone-dependent disease that can affect any organ in the body, even beyond the reproductive system. She reveals why diagnosis can take up to ten years, why standard tests often miss it, and how its symptoms can extend far beyond pelvic pain, sometimes presenting in surprising ways. The conversation dives into how endometriosis impacts fertility, pregnancy, and the risk of ectopic pregnancy, and clarifies when tools like hysteroscopy may be appropriate. Dr. Polat also dispels common myths, such as the belief that pregnancy or hysterectomy can cure the disease, and emphasizes the importance of continued research and advocacy. Listeners will gain insight into how endometriosis affects not only patients but their families and communities, and how global initiatives like Worldwide EndoMarch (@endomarch) are driving awareness and change. Stay through the end for Dr. Plummer's “Final Thoughts,” where she reflects on how pharmacists can better support patients through empathy, education, and collaboration.

Brooke shares her deeply personal infertility journey, marked by two years of trying to conceive while navigating the challenges of military life, long separations from her husband, and the emotional toll of constant negative tests. She opens up about the moment she felt called to leave her dream career in order to prioritize her family and the complex feelings that came with making that choice.Brooke discusses the physical and emotional impact of endometriosis, a condition that left her in debilitating pain—often crying through work days—before finally receiving life-changing treatment and diagnosis. After undergoing endometriosis surgery, she experienced a dramatic improvement in her quality of life and now shares how Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) helped her relieve pain and reclaim hope. Her experience sheds light on the realities of women's health, the barriers to proper diagnosis, and the financial strain of paying out of pocket for the care she needed.Throughout the episode, Brooke talks about the insensitive comments she has received, the misunderstanding surrounding infertility, and the unique pressure placed on TTC couples, especially when the military lifestyle makes timing unpredictable. She reflects on the impact infertility has had on her marriage, the strain of living in cycles of waiting, and the mix of relief and sadness she feels when her husband is away during fertile windows.One of the most inspiring parts of her story is the creation of Fertile Hope Photography—a project born from her desire to bring visibility and compassion to the infertility community. Brooke hopes to capture the honest, raw, and hopeful moments of every season of infertility, reminding others that there is beauty even in the hardest chapters. She explains why women may not want these moments photographed in the moment, yet often wish they had them later as part of their healing.Brooke offers heartfelt infertility support, sharing practical advice for coping with infertility, holding onto hope during long seasons of waiting, and advocating for yourself when answers feel out of reach. Her story is a powerful reminder that infertility is not just a medical condition—it's an emotional, relational, and mental health journey that requires compassion, resilience, and community.If you're looking for an infertility podcast episode that speaks to the truth of endometriosis, the reality of TTC, and the emotional layers of military infertility, Brooke's story offers comfort, validation, and the reminder that hope can grow in unexpected places.

This week, I'm sitting down with Maya McHenry — a model, publicist, philanthropist, and board member of the Endometriosis Foundation of America — for a conversation I've been wanting to have on this show for a long time.Maya's been deep in this advocacy work for years, and it's clear why—in today's interview, she shares just how much trauma and hardship she's been through. In our conversation, Maya walks me through the first time she ever experienced an “endo episode,” when the pain was so severe she passed out. She shares how she spent years being dismissed by doctors, misdiagnosed, and told that her symptoms were “just anxiety.” Hearing how long she suffered before finally getting a diagnosis was heartbreaking, especially knowing that her story isn't unusual. Many women wait 7–10 years for answers, and Maya brings so much honesty, clarity, and compassion to this topic.We also talk about how chronic illness impacts mental health, how trauma can intensify physical symptoms, and the tools she's learned to use when her flares hit without warning. Maya's vulnerability in sharing what this disease has taken from her and how she's learned to advocate for herself is incredibly powerful.At the end of the conversation, I asked her about her sister, Lyric McHenry (my former coworker and friend from Refinery29 who tragically passed), and what Maya shared with me was so emotional and so profound that I realized it deserved its own full episode.So today's episode is only Part 1, focusing on Maya's endometriosis journey.Next week, you'll hear Part 2, where Maya opens up about grief, healing, and the beautiful ways she continues to honor Lyric's legacy.This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've had on The Real Stuff. I hope it brings comfort, insight, and validation to anyone who has ever felt overlooked or unheard in the medical system.The Endometriosis Foundation of America: https://www.endofound.orgFollow Maya: https://www.instagram.com/mayamchenry/Sponsor:CLEARSTEM: How to claim your free Hydration Heroes Mini Kit: Go to CLEARSTEM.com, add the Hydration Heroes Mini Kit plus $75 of other CLEARSTEM products to your cart, and enter code REALSTUFFHH at checkout — the kit is yours for free!

We also discuss breast cancer risk and screening, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause, and the hormone tests that women should request.

Endometriosis pain is often treated like a purely physical issue—but what if that's not the full story? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Jennifer Schlueter joins me to explore the deeper layers of autoimmune healing and why true recovery requires more than medications or symptom management. Dr. Schlueter shares how unresolved emotions, stress, nervous system dysregulation, and spiritual disconnection can amplify autoimmune symptoms—including chronic inflammation and endometriosis pain. We discuss powerful mind-body-spirit tools such as subconscious reprogramming, energy work, emotional release, inner child healing, and intuitive self-connection that help women finally feel safe in their bodies again. If you're ready to understand autoimmune disease from a holistic lens—and discover what's possible when you heal all parts of yourself—this episode will inspire your next breakthrough. Dr. Jennifer Schlueter is a certified, trauma-informed hypnotherapist and spiritual hypnosis trainer helping high-achieving women and healers heal emotional root causes, regulate their nervous systems, and manifest aligned lives.

In this episode, I explore the critical role of cellular hydration as the foundational first step in the seven naturopathic steps to treatment to optimise health. Join me as I talk about why proper hydration goes far beyond just drinking water, how chronic dehydration impacts inflammation, hormone balance, and fertility at the cellular level, and the three progressive stages to restoring optimal hydration in your body. I'll unpack the science behind cellular hydration, explain why your cholesterol might actually be a dehydration response, and provide insights and actionable tips to help you build the foundation your body needs to reduce inflammation, support hormone balance, and optimise your fertility journey. A number of actionable tips were discussed including how to recognise signs of chronic dehydration, which foods and drinks are secretly dehydrating you, the proper omega-3 to omega-6 ratio for reducing inflammation, how to implement the three-stage hydration protocol, and why you should consider taking a break from supplements while you establish proper hydration.

It's a delight to have Dr. Geoffrey Sher back. He's been on the show several times, and our discussion on "How to Avoid Implantation Failure During IVF" is one of the most viewed on the channel! Today we're talking about treating Endometriosis - related infertility.  Here are some facts about Endometriosis as shared by Dr. Sher:  - Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grow outside of the uterus, in the pelvic cavity.   - It occurs in about 10% of all women and can be symptom free or may cause a wide spectrum of symptoms.   - It's estimated that 25% - 40% of all female infertility is linked to endometriosis in some way.   - Endometriosis is a life-long condition. It cannot be completely removed or cured. While endometriosis can usually be controlled (medically or surgically), the condition itself is not curable.  - Removing endometriomas from an ovary may help with getting pregnant. Dr. Sher is also sharing information about how the endometrium begins to grow outside the uterus, and why some women remain asymptomatic, and others develop symptoms.  Read the full transcript and get more information on the website.

Endometriosis is a painful disease that occurs when endometrium-like tissue grows outside of the uterus. It's extremely common—if you have a uterus, you have a 1 in 10 chance of getting it. Yet, it takes seven years on average to receive a formal diagnosis. What does the latest science tell us about the biology of the condition and how to treat it? And why do so many people have such a difficult time getting diagnosed? Host Flora Lichtman is joined by endometriosis researcher and patient Linda Griffith to answer those questions and more. Guest: Dr. Linda Griffith is a biological engineer and Scientific Director of The MIT Center for Gynepathology Research.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this listener question episode, the Fertility Docs take on some of the most common and complex questions about endometriosis and fertility treatment options. Patients often wonder whether to pursue testing like the ReceptivaDx assay, when to consider IVF over other treatments, and how many IUI cycles to try before taking a more aggressive approach. The docs discuss how the right path depends on factors such as the severity of disease, the presence of endometriomas or deep implants, and each patient's family-building goals. They also talk about surgery for endometriosis—when it can help, and when it might cause more harm than good. While surgery may relieve pain, it can sometimes reduce ovarian reserve by damaging nearby eggs. For patients whose main goal is conception, moving toward IVF may be the best option. Chronic pain, however, can often be managed with medications like Depo-Lupron. Ultimately, the Fertility Docs emphasize that for those with endometriosis who want children, timing and strategy are everything. Acting sooner rather than later can improve the chances of success and make room for definitive treatment later on. This podcast was sponsored by US Fertility. 

Facts matter but facts alone will not influence change when the truthtellers are not believed. Millions of girls and women see their doctors about debilitating symptoms only to be told that what they are experiencing is not real. Such is the case with endometriosis, a medical condition that among other harms, is a leading cause of infertility in women. As Shannon Cohn, my guest on this episode of Power Station says, it is so prevalent that either you have endometriosis, or you love someone who does. As a teenager she sought help for incapacitating menstrual pain only to be told by a doctor that she was seeking attention. It took many years and countless doctors before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Eventually, she left a successful legal career to become a women's health champion, using filmmaking to advocate for public and institutional investments in endometriosis research and treatment. Below the Belt, Shannon's deeply instructive and moving documentary chronicles the struggles of 4 women living with endometriosis. It is the foundation of a social impact strategy that is disrupting the status quo and breaking through decades of indifference by public policymakers and the medical establishment. As Shannon demonstrates, stories matter.

Did you know our metabolic and hormonal systems are deeply connected?  So many women who experience hormone imbalances, mood swings, or fertility struggles  think it's just something they have to deal with as "part of being a woman". In this groundbreaking conversation, I sit down with Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, PhD scientist and women's health innovator, to unpack the science behind ovarian health, menopause myths, and the things we can do to take control over our bodies. We dive into the shocking truth about how ovaries are not just about fertility—but act as a command center for nearly every system in the body. Dr. Piraye explains why modern women are outliving their ovaries and what that means for our health, energy, and aging. From sleep to stress to blood sugar, she shares how to understand your body's hormone signals and take back control. She also breaks down how PCOS and perimenopause share metabolic roots, why glucose management is a hormone health superpower, and how hot flashes might be your brain's way of signaling distress. You'll hear how she personally used a continuous glucose monitor to stop her hot flashes—and the surprising ways GLP-1s (like Ozempic) are restoring ovulation in women who were told they'd never conceive naturally. If you've been told “this is just what happens as you age,” or have ever felt dismissed by doctors while navigating period pain, fertility challenges, or menopause symptoms, this episode will empower you with science, tools, and hope. You'll also hear: Why your ovaries affect your brain, bones, metabolism, and immune system How GLP-1s are shifting the fertility and PCOS landscape What environmental toxins are doing to your hormones How sleep and melatonin directly impact ovarian function Why temperature tracking is the most underrated health tool for women Whether you're navigating PCOS, planning to freeze your eggs, or just want to feel better in your 30s and 40s, this episode is a must-listen. It's time we stop normalizing hormone suffering—and start listening to the signals our bodies are sending.
