Women's Health

Many of my viewers and listeners are women, and women are in many ways the "gatekeepers" of health matters in most families. Women also have particular needs and requirements with respect to their bodies. I will be gathering together materials relating to women's health that I know have been popular when I have featured them on TV and radio.
