Description

Angela welcomes Dr Jolene Brighten back to the show to discuss her amazing new book 'Is This Normal? Judgment-Free Straight Talk About Your Body'. 


Dr Jolene also talks about sex, hormones, periods, and all things women's health.

Key Takeaways

Fundamentally, women should all be taught the basics about how our bodies work, and how we can keep on top of our health and wellbeing.
If our periods are so painful and uncomfortable that we are being forced to rearrange plans and our routines, then we should take it as a signal that things are not normal.
Our bodies are naturally looking to procreate and create babies even if mentally we are not on the same page. Even though we do not wish to engage in fertility, your body will still set itself up physically to do so as this is the optimal health position.
Mitochondria doesn't just ready our bodies for fertility by keeping our ovaries young. It also helps with other areas of our physiology, and can play a huge part in keeping dementia at bay.

Best Moments

'Never should you ever find yourself in a position where you don't have the basics you need about your body'


'The way most people learn is by going through it and actually doing it'


'These are things we're told are normal, but they're really early signs that there's an issue going on'


'Mitochondria is the power house to your cells'
