In this episode, I speak with integrative gynaecologist Dr. Shamitha Kathurusinghe about a fresh, whole-person approach to women’s health. We unpack how nutrition and lifestyle can drive conditions like heavy periods, painful periods, and endometriosis—and why healing starts well before surgery.

Dr. Shamitha shares what makes her patient journey different: taking time to understand the root causes, preparing patients with nutritional and emotional support, and only turning to surgery when it’s truly needed. She also opens up about what led her—an expert in women’s health—into the world of functional and nutritional medicine.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed or rushed into a procedure, this episode is a must-listen.
