Hey girls, let's chat.
Welcome to It's Not Just A Period podcast hosted by Alexandra.
We are healthcare's dirty little secret and this podcast is calling out the BS in women's health. Women have been gaslit, dismissed and ignored for far too long.
Each episode, Alexandra is joined by a very special guest to talk all things periods, cycles, Endometriosis, PCOS and more. We'll hear all of the good, bad and ugly bits that make up their inspirational story.

Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period!
This week Alexandra is joined by Dr Hazel Parkinson, General Practitioner and Aesthetics Doctor to discuss all things women's health.
Dr Hazel walks us through her medical training, the years she spent working in general practice and the dramatic changes she's seen within the NHS when it comes to demands, attitudes and patient care.
She shares shocking stories of medical misogyny, how she left the NHS to avoid burnout and why community gynaecology hubs are making all the difference to local women.
Alexandra and Dr Hazel discuss the common skin conditions women suffer with, the influence of social media on skin anxiety and how greater regulation is desperately needed in the aesthetics industry.
