Loose Women in Pharma – Details, episodes & analysis

Miriam and Sarah sit down with Nicky Stunt from RBW consulting to discuss what those working in healthcare agencies say they want from their leaders.

This month’s LWIP hears us interview our first man on the podcast.

This month Sarah and Miriam talk with Dan Dalton, former professional cricketer,  former MEP and wait for it… grandson of an amazing trailblazer in women’s health, Dr Katharina Dalton.

Kittie as she was affectionately known was a woman on a mission.

She was one of the first tranche of female doctors who were admitted to medical school when they opened things up after the Second World War qualifying on the day the NHS came into existence in 1948.

Great friends with Miriam’s grandmother, Kittie was the first to identify and coin the phrases Post Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Post Natal Depression (PMD) publishing on these topics back in the 1950s with quite some pushback from the masculine medical establishment.

She successfully treated many women for conditions that the masculine model of health did not understand, from migraines to mood disorders, tuning into the importance of glucose management and even getting women off murder charges because of where they were in their hormonal cycle. AMAZING!

She was a force to be reckoned with whose work was somewhat sidelined by the establishment and which we now want to bring into the light by hearing her story and celebrating her as our first post-humous Ultimate Women’s Health Role Model Award winner.

A fascinating story and a great foundation setter for the work we need to do with our beyond bikini medicine campaign.

Enjoy listening and share your feedback in the comments.

From discombobulation to discipline

Miriam and Sarah discuss the importance of firm foundations and some new things they have tried this week. Plus an interesting insight into what it's like to be the only man in the room.

This week the Loose Women in Pharma discuss how negative inner chatter can hold us back. Miriam has read (another) book (of course she has!) and Sarah has been out of her comfort zone in a spin class😱. As they adventure into another growth mindset topic, they realise that they both have different ways of quietening negative inner chatter and tapping into a deeper 'sense of knowing', or ‘feeling', which is where we can live our most joyful life and tap into a world of endless possibilities☀️

Liz Sergeant is a former Woman in Pharma and Founder of the Well Nourished Club. Now she works with individuals and corporates to help women optimise their health, energy, wellbeing and performance. And who doesn’t need that in their life?

In this episode of Loose Women in Pharma, Miriam and Sarah discover so much about:

• Functional medicine and functional nutrition
• Liz’s own journey from high achiever, to superwoman to HPA axis dysfunction
• The difference between tests for optimal health and what medicine typically looks at in diagnosing disease
• The relationship between stress and blood glucose 
• The role of oestrogen dominance and a host of menstrual symptoms
• The stress response and ‘leading yourself’
• Why most people don’t need to live with IBS symptoms
• AND why women often live with symptoms that they are told are ‘normal', but they actually have the power to change - if only they knew how

If you ever suffer from heavy periods, painful periods, low mood, anxiety, cycle-related loss of confidence, breakouts or headaches, or if you are experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms, this podcast is a must-listen. What woman HASN’T experienced these things?

Woo-hoo! It’s the day after the very first Women in Pharma Role Model awards and Miriam and Sarah are still buzzing!

The pom-poms are out!!!They reflect on the last 24 hours, including their attendance at the @PMSociety Awards and the conversations with male allies who are asking 'what can we do to help women rise in our organisations?'

One thing male allies can do is read 'How Women Rise by @Sally Helgesen and @Marshall Goldsmith. This book is the next step from  ‘What Got You Here Won’t get you There’, which is a great book.  

"How Women Rise' looks at the 12 habits holding women back and how they behave differently to men in the workplace.

If you are a women living in England, Bridget Goreman’s work should matter to you.  Bridget is a Health Economics Policy Advisor for The NHS Confederation. She is tasked with generating evidence for why investing in women’s health is good for individuals AND the prosperity of the nation. Her work aims to secure funding to support The 10 year Women’s Health Strategy for England, beyond 2 years. Prepare to be quite amazed at some of the things she tells us - and not always amazed in a good way. If you care about women’s health this is a must-listen.

Fear. It’s so human. But did you know that flight, fight and freeze are not the only responses? Have you heard of the fawn response, the courage response or the tend and befriend response? Until this week, us neither, so this week’s chat is about our responses to fear.

Our Beyond Bikini Medicine webpage is also live so take a look at that here https://www.womeninpharma.network/campaign/beyond-bikini-medicine
