Endometriosis: It’s Not Just Painful Periods and Why Women’s Health Research Can’t Wait!

Endometriosis! A condition that affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age globally, yet it still takes an average of 7–10 years to get a proper diagnosis. That’s a whole decade of pain, confusion, and being told “it’s just bad periods.”

In this episode of A Dose of Health, we cut through the noise with real stories and expert insights on what it’s really like to live with endometriosis, how to recognise the signs and why better treatment options are still out of reach for so many.

Here’s the real kicker: despite affecting millions worldwide, funding for women’s health research (endometriosis included) remains disproportionately low compared to conditions that affect men. The result of that is slower innovation, fewer answers and far too many women left to suffer in silence.

It’s time to change that. Advocacy is important, but it can’t stop there, we need the same level of investment in research and innovation as we give to raising awareness. Because women deserve more than conversations, they deserve solutions just as much as men do.

In honor of World Blood Donor Day on the 14th of June, we're talking all things blood donation, the myths, the facts, the “I fainted in the donation tent” stories (we’ve all heard them) and most importantly, why Kenya is facing a critical blood shortage.

I’m joined by a Joan Melly and JustKeah, two content creators who recently worked with Kenya Tissue and Transplant Authority (KTTA) to create awareness around the regular blood donor program that is aimed at increasing access and availability of blood to work towards meeting the current demands when it come to healthcare.

Throughout the conversation we will touch on: Who can donate blood, our experiences donating blood, why we donate blood, how exactly does one pint save three lives and much more.

Whether you’re a first-timer, a regular donor, or just blood-curious (yes, that’s a thing), this one’s for you. Let’s talk about saving lives, the community and how we can all make a difference one donation at a time

We've seen vaccine hesitancy grow over time, something we in the medical community are keen to understand better and thoughtfully address.To explore this topic, we invited Tebby Maritime Odongo, a wonderful mum who has openly shared her motherhood journey with us, and Dr. Aura Mwende a consultant pediatrician and active member of Kenya Pediatric Association. Together, we had an honest and insightful conversation about vaccines and many parents' concerns today.It’s a dialogue we believe is long overdue and one we hope is just the beginning of many more.

A Dose of Health The Podcast
Dr.Ngendo's second chance at Breast Feeding | E09

Whatever they say about second chances is absolutely true! This week, we’re welcoming back a lovely guest and a breastfeeding advocate, Dr. Ng’endo Mburu. She’ll be sharing her personal journey with breastfeeding and how, during her second attempt, everything changed for the better.

Contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding isn’t always instinctive, it’s a learned skill that takes time, support, and patience to master. Even with the right knowledge, challenges can arise. After facing struggles with her first baby, Dr. Ng’endo had a completely different, more positive experience the second time around.
