Phase to Phase is a podcast hosted by naturopathic doctor Anne Hussain. She's on a mission to empower and educate women to better understand their menstrual cycles and hormonal health.
Anne’s passion for menstrual advocacy and body literacy began in Pakistan where she received no education about periods or reproductive health growing up. Navigating her own polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) also inspired her to become an ND and write The Period Literacy Handbook.
Anne hopes to guide women through all phases of their hormonal health with this podcast, from their very first period to beyond perimenopause. Drawing on her training as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Anne will support listeners through symptoms ranging from mood, sleep and flow changes, to the impacts of hormone change on your skin, metabolism and bones.
Anne reminds us that your health journey is unique and may be different from your mother, your neighbour, or your best friend. At the heart of it all, she believes that learning about your body and having agency over your health is not only an act of care for yourself, but also for each other and the world we share.

What if everything you've been told about "balancing" your hormones isn't the whole story? In this inaugural episode of Phase to Phase, Dr. Anne Hussain pulls back the curtain on hormone health. She shares her origin story, from growing up with no menstrual education to navigating her own PCOS diagnosis, and explains the deeply personal mission that drives her work.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or like you’re losing your mind trying to get answers about your health, you’re in the right place. Join us as we explore the deeply personal and political nature of women's health, and learn how developing agency over your body is a form of resistance. Anne promises to cut through the wellness noise to give you the science-backed clarity you deserve. This is the beginning of a conversation dedicated to making you the expert on your own body.
Takeaways
• You're not imagining things! If you've ever felt like your symptoms were dismissed or that you were told they're "just stress," you've found a place that believes you.
• No more snake oil: Learn to spot expensive promises and fear-mongering so you can make health decisions based on science and evidence, not marketing.
• Your body, your data. Your lived experience matters! Discover how tracking your symptoms can help you decode what's happening in your body and tell your most powerful health story.
• Become your own advocate: Get the tools to navigate the healthcare system with confidence and ask for the care you need and deserve.
• It's all connected. You’ll understand that your hormones don't work in isolation. In fact, they're linked to your lifestyle, your emotions, and the world around you.
• Find your wellness compass in this age of information overload. Phase to Phase will help you tell the difference between what's helpful and what's just noise, so you can build a health plan that truly works for you.
