このコンテンツについて

Hosted by Nurse Sydney and OB/GYN Meghan, The Push Podcast is the women’s health podcast that tackles the internet’s most viral misconceptions with evidence, empathy, and a lot of fun. Each week, we break down the science behind trending topics in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive health- debunking myths, challenging outdated norms, and pushing back on misinformation.

Whether you're a curious patient, a new parent, or a healthcare provider tired of bad TikTok takes, we’ve got you covered. No fear-mongering, no fluff- just honest conversations about the facts behind your body.

Always seek the guidance of your healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

We recognize that not everyone who experiences menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause identifies as a woman. While we sometimes use gendered language to reflect the terminology used in studies or clinical guidelines, The Push Podcast is committed to inclusivity and acknowledges the diverse identities of people affected by OB/GYN and reproductive health issues.
