Introducing Burning Questions

Show notes

Welcome to Burning Questions. 

If you grew up with Dolly Doctor, this show is for you. No question is too embarrassing, too niche or too weird. On this brand new show, Cath Mahoney asks the health questions you’ve sent us and Dr Ginni Mansberg answers them. 

On today's show, one Unleasher is surviving on three or four broken hours a night and is desperate for answers.

Cath puts TikTok’s favourite peri fix, turmeric, to the test. She also asks the question we’re all asking with a glass in hand: is the nightly red helping you nod off, or is it the reason you’re awake at 3am?

Plus quick ones on metabolism in your 50s, your pelvic floor and vaginal dryness. And the Dr’s orders, exactly what to say to your GP about your sleep.

Got a burning question? Email us at [email protected] or leave us a voice note here and let us know if you'd like us to re-voice. We take your anonymity seriously! You can also DM us on instagram @unleashed.show

If you'd like to listen to more Unleashed, there are plenty of episodes to catch up on.
