   TABOO - The Unspoken Truth about Women's Health with Helen Lambert

   In this episode, Sarah and Miriam talk to film maker, Helen Lambert about her BAFTA nominated film, Taboo: The Unspoken Truth About Women's Health. Helen's film reveals the unsettling fact that women consistently receive poorer medical treatment and experience worse health outcomes than men. Challenging the narrow perception of "women's problems" as purely gyneacological this documentary takes us through moving personal stories, expert insights, and eye-opening historical analysis, as the film investigates how centuries of overlooking women’s health have shaped modern medicine and uncovers the shocking and far-reaching consequences of overlooking the health of half the world’s population. If you are interested in the health of 'the forgotten 51%', have a listen and watch out for details of an exclusive screening of the film in early 2025.
