#225 A GP's Guide to Allergies with Dr. Alison Muller
Twenty-five years ago, having a baby daughter struggling with severe hives turned GP Dr. Alison Muller into an accidental allergy guru - and general practice has been better for it since. She unpacks IgE vs non-IgE reactions, why 10% of one-year-olds now have a genuine food allergy, why smearing avocado oil on eczema is asking for trouble, and why anaphylaxis rates are up 900% in twenty years. Plus she gives us the practical tips we need such as weight-based antihistamine dosing, the three-ingredient "magic cream" for infected eczema, and why putting your clothes in the dryer for ten minutes might be the cheapest allergy hack around. If you have ever ordered a RAST and had a result telling you that someone is "allergic to grass" and not really known what to do next, or you've wondered whether desensitisation is worth the needles (and what exactly is involved?!), then this podcast is for you. Alison covers exercise-induced food anaphylaxis, FPIES, and even Neffy - the new nasal adrenaline spray that might finally get more people to use their emergency treatment when it counts. A great one not to miss! ...

#223 Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) with Professor Jayashri Kulkarni
Professor Jayashri Kulkarni is one of Australia's leading psychiatrists and researchers specialising in women's mental health. She is the Director of the HER Centre Australia (Health, Education and Research for Women's Mental Health) and Professor of Psychiatry at Monash University. Professor Kulkarni's work focuses on mood disorders across the female lifespan, with particular attention to the neurochemical effects of reproductive hormones on brain function, including perimenopausal depression and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. She is the developer of the Meno-D rating scale and has been a leading voice for over four decades in the recognition and treatment of hormone-related mental illness in women. This is a supplementary episode to the GP Show's earlier conversation with Professor Kulkarni on perimenopausal mental health, recorded in the same sitting. In it, Dr. Ashlea Broomfield and Professor Kulkarni discuss what distinguishes PMDD from common premenstrual symptoms; the emerging evidence on trauma and gene expression as a mechanism for PMDD onset; why current guidelines default to SSRIs rather than hormonal treatment and the limitations of that approach; practical hormonal treatment options for women with and without contraceptive needs; and the role of trauma therapy alongside hormonal management. Professor Kulkarni argues that PMDD is a brain condition, not an end-organ condition, and that treatment should reflect that.

They discuss the role of oestrogen and progesterone as neurosteroids influencing mood, cognition, and behaviour; why mood symptoms often precede vasomotor changes by years; which women are most at risk and why; the distinct clinical profile of perimenopausal depression and how to avoid common misdiagnoses; and how to approach hormonal treatment in practice (including contraceptive options, transdermal oestradiol, micronised progesterone, and tibolone) alongside a review of the evidence around MHT safety.

#220 Loose Joints, Lax Ligaments, and Liquid Gold: Musculoskeletal Medicine for Hypermobility with Dr Rob Illingworth
Many of us have patients with hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome who we work hard to help. As our understanding of these complex multisystem conditions grows, understanding that it doesn't just affect joints but potentially autonomic function, cardiovascular health, digestion, and producing widespread, often debilitating pain, so too does the need for a broader range of therapeutic options. In this episode, musculoskeletal medicine specialist Dr. Rob Illingworth introduces prolotherapy and PRP as practical, evidence-informed options that could make a real difference to your patients' quality of life and function. For anyone managing patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or hypermobility spectrum disorders, this one's essential. Dr. Illingworth unpacks the "perfect storm" of lax connective tissue, sensitized pain pathways, and complex comorbidities and adds a valuable option to your therapeutic toolkit for people presenting with these complex conditions. ...
