Living Hellth
The name, Living Hellth, comes from the unfortunate reality that the experience of health for many can be anything from confusing to chronic, and quite frankly a living hell.
In our first season, we’re starting with Women’s Hellth.
Women live in poor health for 25% more of their lives than men do.
We’ll be covering the issues, experiences and chronic conditions that disproportionately effect women or affect women differently than men - including endometriosis, Migraines, Menopause, PMS and Cervical Cancer.
The aim of this podcast is two fold, to create a library of reliable information for our listeners who might be suffering with these conditions, using qualified experts, researchers and clinicians.
And secondly, to give a platform to amazing women who have lived through their living Hell, to share their story, and provide a sense of connection, comfort and hope for listeners.
