  • Why Are We Obsessed With Peptides And Do They Work?

    Why Are We Obsessed With Peptides And Do They Work?
    Apr 15 2026

    Is the secret to “optimising” your body hidden in an unregulated, experimental peptide cocktail? Spoiler: it’s not.

    In this episode, Claire and Dr Mariam discuss into the peptide boom. A rising biohacking trend fuelled by social media influencers and a growing distrust of traditional medical systems. From claims that peptides support your naturally occurring hormones, to weight-loss injections and “internal tanning” sprays, the hosts break down what peptides actually are, and the significant health and legal risks associated with using unregulated substances sourced from the “grey market.”

    Plus, in Med School, we take a deep dive into the viral TikTok trend claiming sanitary pads contain green and black mould.

    And in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam helps a patient, who’s dealing with incredible pain potentially caused by long hair. We’re myth-busting whether “butt crack” hair is the culprit.

  • The Woman With The World’s Most Famous Beard

    The Woman With The World’s Most Famous Beard
    Apr 8 2026

    What do you do when your body starts changing at just ten years old? Harnaam Kaur was waxing her face to avoid schoolyard bullies before she even hit her teens. Today, she’s a Guinness World Record holder and one of the most recognisable voices challenging global beauty standards.

    In this episode, Claire sits down with Harnaam to unpack her journey after being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) at just ten. She opens up about years of bullying, the toll on her mental health, and the pivotal moment that led her to stop hiding and start embracing who she is.

    They also explore what it means to live with a condition that challenges traditional ideas of femininity, Harnaam’s evolution from religious motivations to personal liberation, and her reflections on the future of her advocacy.

  • Puberty to Perimenopause: Your No‑BS Hormone Survival Guide

    Puberty to Perimenopause: Your No‑BS Hormone Survival Guide
    Apr 1 2026
    Why do some girls start their periods as early as eight years old? In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr Mariam take us on a lifetime hormonal tour. We track the journey from the ‘magic and mayhem’ of puberty to the ‘window of chaos’ that is perimenopause, exploring how these changing hormones reshape our bodies, our brains, and our moods at every life stage. We talk to obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Ginny Foo about why periods are starting earlier and what level of pain is actually ‘normal.’ We also speak with endocrinologist Dr Isabelle Smith about the hormone ‘dump’ after childbirth, the myth of the testosterone cure-all for libido, and why your ‘stress cup’ might be overflowing. Plus, gynaecologist Dr Natasha Andreas joins us to unpack life over 50. We discuss the ‘second puberty’, why oestrogen is the ultimate protector of your heart and bones, and the essential health checks every woman needs to stay ahead of the game as her hormones settle into a new normal.
