In this cracking episode of the show, we are blessed with the brilliant mind of Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, a titan in the world of women's mental health. Jayashri breaks down the intricate dance between hormones and mental health like nobody else. She's not just the top dog at the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre, she's also been on the front lines, pioneering research that digs into how our hormonal roller coasters can throw a wrench in our mental well-being.

We chat about her groundbreaking work (the Prof has not only penned over 200 research papers, but also pushed the boundaries of psychoneuroendocrinology).

Get ready to unpack everything from the nitty-gritty of brain chemistry, it's relationship with the impacts of early life trauma, and how to 'best' navigate the management of the mental, emotional and perhaps biological turbulence that can strike at any time of women's lives (yeah, hello menopause). Jayashri shares her wisdom on why a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t cut it for women’s mental health, and why tailored treatments are the game-changer we need.

Strap in ladies, because this episode is packed with insights that'll change the way you think about mental health and hormones!
