What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast. What if I need a poo? I'm all right for now, but I might because I've had to coffee early, just letting you know. But right now I'm okay. Have we started to record?
Hello there. I am Dr. Ginny Mansberg and welcome to the brand new era of Well, the podcast for your health and body explained. I am the new resident doctor for Well. I'm a general practitioner. I'm a women's health expert and I'm basically here to talk about the annoying, the embarrassing and the scary when it comes to women's health. Basically, all of my absolute favorite topics.
Hello, and I'm Kath Mahoney. I am a comedian, I'm an author, and a podcaster. You might be wondering why a comedian is on a health podcast. Well, let me tell you the very most important thing you need to know about me. Before a comedian, I am actually a hypochondriac.
What is the new format and who are the hosts of Well podcast?
So being on this podcast is like a dream. I get to sit here with Dr. Ginny once a week and just ask her all the things that are going through my head. And I can also ask the questions that you might want to ask. And if you've listened to Unleashed, the podcast for women who need a laugh, you know that I will go there with the questions. Warning and apologies ahead. You're in for a ride because nothing is off limits. Am I right, Dr. Ginny?
You are right, Kath, because the chances are, certainly in my case, I've heard it. I've seen it. I've probably smelt it and touched it and treated it all before. So here's what you can expect from the brand new well. What the health? What's happening in health news and the latest trends popping up on your feed? Are you well? A deep dive into two topics, the hottest health subjects that women don't just ask enough about. So this week we've got hydration and pre-diabetes. Let's face it, both of our favourite segments of Well, it is asking for a friend, which is your anonymous, probably very awkward health questions that you can leave us as a voice note. Very, very anonymous right there. And they're going to be answered by me.
I might just be sliding a few asking for a friend on behalf of myself once in this season. Who knows? Anyway.
But first, it's time for What the Health, which is your quick dose of women's health headlines. What the? Oh, what the? I don't understand. What the health? So what have you got for us, Gina? Okay, first of all, I wanted to talk about HRT because, Kath, it is still not that available. Patches are just dripping into the country. A lot of women are turning to the gels. There is also a spray that has been around in the UK. My whole periposse has been onto it in the UK for ages. It is now here in Australia. Oh, spray. Okay, what's the difference between a gel and a spray? Exactly what it says on the tin. One's a spray and one's a gel.
Do you have to rub it in though?
No, you have to not rub it in. You have to like stand with your legs apart and put it on your inner thighs and just wait for it to dry.
Good luck doing that in the hottest parts of summer.
Right. What have you got next, Dr. Ginny? So, Kath, I always love a big study, especially one with 150,000 people that goes for 30 years. Holy moly. That is a big study. It is a big study. And it basically confirmed that between 90 and 120 minutes of my worst thing in the entire planet, strength training, is not only really good for your muscles, but it also seems to lower your risk of death, as well as things like diabetes and certain cancers as well. So I'm just going to have to pull my finger out and do it.
So how many minutes are we talking?
Did you say 90? An hour and a half to two hours per week. What I loved about this study was that for all of us who just dread that whole process, more than 120 minutes did not add anything to your life expectancy. So in good news, you can top out there.
Okay. So you and I both need to literally pull our finger out and start lifting. So as you know, my algorithm serves me up a lot of medical and beauty advice at 3am when I'm scrolling. The latest thing I'm seeing a lot of is testosterone cream being used as part of people's facials.
