The Informed Her podcast aims to teach women everything school missed out - how our bodies actually work. For decades women have been misinformed about their health due to the majority of information being based on the assumptions of male-centric research findings. Through conversations with leaders in the fields of health and humanitarianism I want to make information about women's health more accessible. You shouldn't have to pay a premium for basic information about your health. Knowledge empowers us to be more self aware and make better choices. Every women deserves to be informed.

Episode 6 | Dr Liz O'Riordan | Breast Cancer misinformation and the power of speaking up
<p>In this episode, I’ll be talking to former breast cancer surgeon turned author, speaker and storyteller Dr Liz O’Riordan. After several encounters with breast cancer herself, Dr Liz was forced to retire early from her career as a surgeon and find a new purpose; empowering those going through breast cancer and making accurate, straight-talking information more accessible. Today, she has authored two books; The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer and Under The Knife: Life Lessons From The Operating Theatre, and has been featured on the likes of BBC Radio four’s Women’s Hour, TEDX and The Financial Times (to name a few). </p> <p><br></p> <p>Through this short-form conversation, Dr Liz talked to me about the growing issue of misinformation around breast cancer and provided some simple tips on how to discern clever marketing campaigns from quality information backed by evidence and assured by highly trained health professionals. </p> <p>We also talked about the importance of being an advocate for your and other women’s mental health and well-being, especially in male-dominated industries, such as surgery. </p> <p>You can follow Dr Liz on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oriordanliz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a>, and find her website <a href="https://liz.oriordan.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here.</a></p> <p>I'd like to dedicate this episode to UK-based <a href="https://futuredreams.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Future Dreams Charity,</a> who provide in-person and virtual support and guidance to those living with breast cancer. Our sponsor, <a href="https://www.youunderwear.com/en-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Y.O.U Underwear, </a>the UK's no.1 ethical clothing brand, supports Future Dreams with every purchase. </p> <p>Don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to the Informed Her podcast.
