About this episode

Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney discuss hormonal migraines, midlife belly fat, and common health myths.

Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney separate health fact from fiction, unpacking a promising breakthrough in cancer prevention, what your grip strength really says about your health, and whether bone broth and olive oil deserve their wellness halo. Then, they reveal why midlife belly fat is different, what really drives hormonal migraines, and why sleep, stress, and strength training matter more than you think. Plus, in Asking for a Friend , Dr Ginni answers two questions women ask all the time: are bladder leaks ever normal, and why are you still exhausted after eight hours of sleep?
