Jen Gunter Instagram – TW: infant loss and birth trauma

Occasionally I get to meet a guest where every single sentence they utter contains a mind-expanding truth bomb that makes me view the world ever so slightly differently. Well, Dr Jen Gunter was one of those guests. An ob-gyn and women’s health specialist who writes bestselling books and regularly takes on medical misinformation and wellness culture, she’s here to tell you everything you never knew about your own bodies.

We talk about the ultimate empowerment of understanding what goes on inside us, whether that be periods or ejaculation. We discuss the insidious effect of patriarchal language in medicine (why is it ‘erectile dysfunction’ but ‘ovarian failure’?) and why she took on Goop. She reveals why she is so passionate about what she does – and it stems from the premature brith of her triplet sons, one of whom tragically died. Just a heads-up, if you’ve been through something similar, that you may want to listen to this episode with care.

Plus, we talk about marrying the wrong person, the ‘failure’ of a first marriage ending in divorce, an inability to say no and her mistaken belief that, for years, she didn’t like exercise.
Oh, and I confess to once getting my vagina steamed. For all that and more, listen to the terrific Dr Jen Gunter on How To Fail wherever you get your podcasts!
