33. Hormones and Neurodivergence: Why You Have a List of Random Symptoms and No Answers (with Dr Ceri Cashell)

You're bendy. You get dizzy when you stand up. Your periods are heavy, the headaches are worse the week before, you're constipated, you're exhausted, and your mood falls off a cliff for a few days a month. Every one of those has been looked at on its own and waved off. Your bloods came back normal, so that was that.You probably don't have seven separate conditions. Dr Ceri Cashell is an Irish GP on Sydney's Northern Beaches who has spent her career on the part of medicine nobody was taught, and she starts this episode by explaining what fake nails have to do with any of it.Related EpisodesEvery Women's Health episode in one place → https://tr.ee/womenshealthMentioned in this episodeHealthy Hormones — the free national community Dr Cashell co-founded with Dr Emma Harvey.
