Bu podcast hakkında
Welcome to the Push Pod, where we are pushing through the noise of women’s health with research, education, and compassion.
Hosted by two Canadian healthcare professionals, Labor & Delivery Nurse, Sydney, and OB/GYN Dr. Meghan McGratten, this is your go-to women’s health show for real talk about women's health and zero shame. We tackle the most viral misconceptions and the overlooked health topics with science, empathy, and a fair bit of humor.
Each week, we break down the facts behind women’s health issues across obstetrics, gynecology, reproductive health, and beyond, debunking myths, pushing back outdated norms, and correcting misinformation. We’re here to help you understand your body on your terms, because women’s bodies deserve clarity, not chaos.
If you are a curious patient, a science nerd, girl mom, girl dad, or just a girl who has been personally victimized by TikTok science and wants real and honest information, we’re the pod for you!
