The Primodos scandal, and why its legacy still matters
Primodos was a hormone-based pregnancy test prescribed to millions of women and linked to miscarriages, stillbirths, and severe congenital malformations. This episode follows campaigner Marie Lyon’s story, the ignored warnings, and the wider questions about synthetic hormones, accountability, and drug regulation.
Menopause, inflammation, and whether estrogen can slow biological ageing
Menopause is the focus here, with a look at how low-grade inflammation rises in perimenopause and why estrogen may help prevent or even reverse it. The episode connects hormones to ageing, chronic disease, childbirth, HRT dosing, and future research questions.
