How a Wrong Headline Destroyed Women's Health for 20 Years
<p>If you've had a hormonal blood panel and been told everything is fine, you may have been asking your doctor for the one test that cannot actually diagnose perimenopause. Dr Foong explains why — and what the right diagnostic approach looks like.</p><p>Uma Thana opens this episode by doing something most women never do: she shares her own medical records on camera, exposing a decade of missed signals across multiple doctors. With Dr Foong — a UK-trained precision primary care specialist with 25 years of experience — she works through each data point and discovers that the tests she was given, the ranges she was told to trust, and the advice she received were all pointing her in the wrong direction. Topics range from why cholesterol rises in your 40s without any change in diet, to the 2002 study headline that wiped out two decades of hormone therapy use, to why "within range" on a blood test is not the same as healthy. The episode closes with a number that reframes everything: 90% of clinicians admit they lack confidence treating perimenopause — and Dr Foong counts herself among them.</p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 | Intro — Nobody Said the Word Perimenopause</p><p>03:01 | Why Perimenopause Gets Missed by Doctors</p><p>06:08 | Cholesterol Climbs — and Women Blame Themselves</p><p>11:15 | The Study That Scared Women Off HRT for Two Decades</p><p>15:28 | What HRT Actually Does — Benefits, Risks, and Timing</p><p>19:21 | "Within Range" Is Not the Same as Optimal</p><p>24:41 | Why Bad Sleep Is a Daytime Problem, Not a Bedtime One</p><p>28:05 | The Two-Minute Daytime Reset That Fixes Sleep</p><p>32:19 | The Perimenopause Supplement Stack, Evidence-Ranked</p><p>39:41 | Exercise, Immunity, and Weight Gain in Midlife</p><p>42:49 | Uma's Mother Was Suffering — and Uma Didn't Know</p><p>43:46 | 90% of Doctors Didn't Know — Including This One</p><p>45:46 | Where to Start If You've Done Nothing</p><p><strong>About Dr. Tsin Uin Foong</strong></p><p>Dr. Tsin Uin Foong is a physician, healthcare leader, and Co-Founder of Osler Group, where she serves as Chief Medical Officer of Osler Health International in Singapore.

Why "Psychological Safety" Is a Corporate Lie
<p>Everyone expected her to be angry. What Tawana actually felt was harder, and she explains exactly why disappointment hits differently than rage when institutions betray you.</p><p>Tawana is Meta's APAC lead, a senior Black American woman who came to Asia expecting the familiar challenges of race and gender and found something more complex: new forms of privilege she'd never noticed, the slow crushing weight of DEI being rolled back at the company she leads, and a personal philosophy that refuses defeat. This episode follows a rise-fall-rise arc: from a cold-start hook that redefines the emotional register of the entire conversation, through a brutal midpoint metaphor ("the weight of a ship, not a hammer"), and up again to a quiet, defiant resolution - "that bravery is the agency you give back to yourself." The back half opens into practical inclusion tools, personal rituals, and a thesis about community that Jingjin lands in a single sentence.</p><p>Chapters</p><p>00:00 | Not Anger - The Weight of Disappointment00:55 | Being a Black American Woman in Asia</p><p>03:36 | Women Who Throw Their Hat Over the Wall</p><p>05:31 | English Fluency as Privilege</p><p>08:03 | Speak Last - Asian Leadership Redefined</p><p>09:41 | "My Voice Had a Quiver"</p><p>13:05 | Inclusion Tools That Actually Work</p><p>18:15 | The Weight of a Ship</p><p>23:39 | Clarity Is Care</p><p>26:15 | Brave Space vs. Psychological Safety</p><p>28:30 | Advice to a Young Black Woman Today</p><p>32:52 | Music, Quiet Spaces, and the Hidden Introvert</p><p>36:00 | Asia Leadership Hacks</p><p>39:09 | Creator Economy, Pachinko, and Staying in Your Lane</p><p>42:14 | AI Is Not New - the Pivot You Need Right Now</p><p><strong>About Tawana</strong></p><p>Tawana, a former management consultant turned startup employee and entrepreneur, has most recently spent the last 5 years as a global strategy and commercial leader at Facebook helping over 10 million advertisers and 3 billion monthly active users find space to connect, build community, and find value together.</p><p>Prior to Facebook, Tawana led brand and product teams at Intuit, LeapFrog, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, building and launching hundreds of new and innovative products for brands such as QuickBooks, Listerine, Advil, and ChapStick. She’s served on numerous Diversity and Leadership councils focused on developing Women and Black Leaders.</p><p>Featured in Adweek’s 2019 Women Trailblazers for her strategic advisory and investment in over 15 companies founded by women and women of color and a participant in the groundbreaking #biascorrect campaign aimed to help correct bias and elevate the discussion of women in leadership positions.</p><p>She holds a BA in English Literature from Rutgers University, an MA in Instructional Technology & Media from Columbia University, and an MBA from the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia.</p><p><strong>Raw With Uma</strong></p><p>Do you feel like you're working harder than everyone around you but still getting overlooked for the opportunities you deserve?
