Description

In this episode of Begin Again, Davina McCall sits down with women's health expert Dr. Hazel Wallace to have the candid conversation too many women are still waiting to hear. Hazel opens up about the personal loss that led her into medicine, why she made the bold decision to freeze her eggs, and how her own health struggles reshaped her career. Together, they unpack the systemic issues that continue to leave women misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked in healthcare. From PCOS and painful periods to fertility, hormones, and beyond—this is an eye-opening and empowering conversation that challenges what we've been taught to accept as 'normal.' With raw honesty and hard facts, Hazel shines a light on what every woman deserves to know about her body. 🎙️ Drop a comment: What part of Hazel’s story resonated with you the most?
