Detox, Gym Supplements & Alcohol: The Liver Is a 'Forgiving Organ' Until It Isn’t With Dr. Edna

Season 3 · Episode 20

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 40:56

You've tried the slim teas. The "100% natural" supplements promising clearer skin and a smaller waist. Malebo has nothing on you. I mean, you've done it all. The good news? As Dr. Edna puts it, the liver is a forgiving organ. The bad news? We're testing its patience like never before.

In this episode, Dr. Hope sits down with returning guest Dr. Edna Kamau, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Physician, to break down the biggest threats facing our livers today: from unregulated supplements and over-the-counter "natural" products, to the quiet rise of fatty liver disease driven by obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, to alcohol's compounding damage on both the liver and the pancreas.

They also get into how liver disease actually shows up (it's sneakier than you think), the tests that catch it early, why "natural" doesn't mean "safe," and the surprisingly simple habits that can help your forgiving liver bounce back.

Not too little, not too much; just enough health information to help you make an informed decision.

If That Runny Stomach Keeps Coming Back, It's Time To Ask Why: IBS/IBD With Dr. Edna & Dr. Samira

Season 3 · Episode 11

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 • Duration 53:26

How long have you been managing a runny stomach and calling it normal? That runny stomach that just won’t quit, the bloating, the urgency, the cramps - these are not just from food or stress. Your gut could be trying to tell you something else entirely.

In this gut health follow-up episode, we get into the chronic side of diarrheal diseases, breaking down the difference between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). They share symptoms, but they are very different conditions with very different causes, diagnoses and treatments. And confusing the two can cost you years of proper care.

In this episode:

When diarrhoea stops being acute and becomes chronic
IBS vs IBD: what's actually different and why it matters
Symptoms that overlap and red flags that don't
What triggers flares (and why stress isn't the cause)
How diagnosis works - from stool tests to colonoscopy
Managing life, work and mental health with a chronic gut condition
Red flags and complications to watch out for

If you've been managing gut symptoms for a while and still don't have answers, this episode could be your starting point.

Speaking of Diarrhoea: Let’s Put Down the Imodium & Figure It Out First With Dr. Edna | EP 39

Season 3 · Episode 8

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 42:26

Most of us have reached for Imodium at the first sign of diarrhoea. But stopping symptoms without understanding the cause can sometimes make things worse.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Edna Kamau, an Enterologist, to break down what diarrhoeal disease actually is, what causes it and why dehydration remains the most dangerous complication, especially for children, older adults and people living with chronic illness.

We unpack what counts as diarrhoea, the most common causes from infections to food and water safety to medications and conditions like thyroid disease and how to tell the difference between something you can manage at home and something that needs medical attention.

Whether it happens occasionally or more often than you’d like, this conversation helps you understand what your body is doing before you try to intervene.

Beyond the Hot Flashes: Let's Talk Perimenopause and Menopause With Dr. Muchiri | EP 38

Season 3 · Episode 7

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 01:08:11

Your period starts acting up. You're not sleeping. Your skin is dry, your mood is all over the place. Something has shifted, you just don't have the language for it yet.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Muchiri an obstetrician, gynaecologist and hormone specialist, to talk about something far too many women are navigating alone: perimenopause and menopause.

We break down what these transitions actually are (hint: menopause is just one day), what perimenopause looks like and why it's so often missed, the full-body impact of falling oestrogen, from your hair to your bones to your heart and what modern treatments like Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT, formerly HRT) actually involve.

We also get into the uncomfortable truth about women's health research: how underfunded it is, how long change takes and why so many women are still being told to "just cope."

Whether you're in your 30s wondering why your cycle has shifted, in your 40s and suspecting something is changing or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is for you.
