Description
Is being a woman just like in the ads? Blood is blue, and we all need supplements that make us smell like a pina colada? Jennifer Gunter is a Canadian gynecologist who also writes for the New York Times, hosts a podcast, and has written several bestselling books: The Vagina bible, The Menopause Manifesto, and now: BLOOD, The Science, Medicine and Mythology of Menstruation. She lives and practices in California, but her new book is the #1 bestseller in Canada.
There’s lots of science, as she says, “Come for the sex, stay for the science”, but Gunter is also a myth-buster. She takes on GOOP, patriarchal thinking, and naturopaths. Wait til you hear what she says about the hymen! We talk about her new book, but also how we need more knowledge and appreciation, not just more supplements!
