If you’ve ever suffered with your immune system and if you’ve ever taken the contraceptive pill, then you’re going to want to listen to my latest podcast guest – the brilliant Dr Jenna Macciochi.

Dr Jenna is an immunologist and women’s health expert, and in our conversation, we explore the complex and vital role of the immune system in women’s lives.

We cover so much in this conversation, including:

  1. Understanding Hormonal Influences on Immune System
    Jenna unveils the differences in immune system function between males and females. Highlighting the interplay of hormones with immune health.
  2. Women and Autoimmune Diseases
    Dr Jenna shares the worrying statistics on women and autoimmune diseases and shares some powerful insights into why this is happening and what we can do about it.
  3. Impact of Contraception Use and Women’s Health
    Jenna delves into the link between synthetic sex hormones in contraception and the immune system, underscoring their potential role in increased risk of autoimmune diseases.
  4. Strategies for Positive Health Changes
    Jenna shares insights from her own life as a busy working mother and how she’s made small but positive changes for her own health.

I could have cried after this conversation with Dr Jenna.
At last, someone advocating for women’s immune systems and all the influencing factors!

I sincerely wish that every woman has the opportunity to hear Dr Jenna’s insights, so once you’ve tuned in, consider sharing it with others.

Here’s to us taking back control of our health and wellbeing.
