Ladyparts is a podcast that takes a wide view on women’s health.

I believe that in order for women to make informed decisions about our health, we have to break taboos against publicly discussing our basic bodily functions and most perplexing symptoms. Ladyparts takes a wide view, attempting to bridge the divide between mainstream medicine and holistic healthcare. 

This is also about the decisions we make as a society that impact women’s bodies, minds, and wellbeing. We look at where the healthcare system supports women and girls, and where it lets us down hard. We think about women’s bodies in the working world, and how we can bend the paradigm towards gender parity. This is a resource for people who were born with female anatomy as well as those who identify as female. We’re greater than the sum of our parts (but the sum of our parts is pretty frickin great too). 

Ladyparts wrapped its first season in June 2019.

Episode 4: Mind/Body

This episode explores the mind-body connection in women from two very different angles. We hear Function Medicine doctor and OBGYN Jessica Wei on how stress, hormones and the gut affect mental health and mood. And later in the episode, psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster on how women diagnosed with hysteria changed the way we treat mental illness, and why that seemingly outdated diagnosis still matters today.
