Nobody hands you a guide for this. And the silence afterwards can be louder than the loss itself. 💛

In this episode of our Australian podcast, Dr Stephen Cole sits down to talk about something one in four women will experience, and very few feel safe to talk about.

Miscarriage doesn't just take a pregnancy. It takes a future you'd already started imagining. In the days and weeks that follow, grief can show up in ways nobody warned you about, anger, numbness, exhaustion, guilt, distance from the person standing right next to you.

Tell your GP, your therapist, your group chat. You don't have to be "over it" to start talking about it.
This is grief. It deserves the same care as any other loss.

Under 45 in Australia? You're not automatically included in bowel cancer screening. Here's what that means for you.

The national programme wasn't designed for younger adults which means if you're in your 30s or early 40s, you're depending entirely on your symptoms being recognised and acted on.

The thing is, bowel cancer in under-40s has tripled since 2000. And younger patients are consistently being diagnosed later, not because the signs weren't there, but because age was used as a reason not to look.

When it's caught early, more than 90% of cases are treatable. That number is worth fighting for.

Swipe through to understand the screening gap, what's driving the rise in younger adults, and exactly what to do if something doesn't feel right.

Bloating. Fatigue. A change in your bowel habits. These aren't always "just stress".

The tricky thing about bowel cancer symptoms in younger adults? They're not invisible, they're just easy to explain away.

Stress. IBS. Something you ate. Haemorrhoids.

But according to gastroenterologist Prof Viraj Kariyawasam, any of these symptoms lasting more than 2–3 weeks deserves proper investigation.

Here are the 5 signs worth knowing.

It's Australia's second deadliest cancer, but caught early, it's one of the most treatable.

Know some of potential signs:

- Blood in your poo

It doesn't usually start as a problem.

It starts as something that helps, a way to take the edge off, switch off, or just get through the day.

But sometimes, something shifts. And it can be hard to know whether what you're doing is still coping, or whether it's become something harder to control.

This carousel is based on expert insight from Dr Venetia Leonidaki, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist specialising in behavioural addiction.

A new device is quietly changing the way assisted births are carried out and it's long overdue.

For decades, forceps and ventouse have been the only options when labour needs a helping hand. The Odon device offers something different - a soft, inflatable sleeve that gently guides baby out, with the potential to reduce trauma for mum in the process.

Women's health has been under-researched for too long. Innovation like this is exactly what the conversation needs.

In our latest episode of Patient in the Room, he breaks down what extra monitoring actually looks like for higher-risk pregnancies, to keep you and your baby safe with eyes on the details that matter.

Told you're too young to worry about bowel cancer? The data disagrees.

Bowel cancer cases in Australians in their 30s have tripled since 2000. Yet for most people in that age group, it's still not on the radar.

Gastroenterologist Prof Viraj Kariyawasam is seeing this shift in his clinic - younger patients, later diagnoses, and symptoms that were dismissed for too long.

Your age is not a reason to ignore what your body is telling you. 🔍

Good news - you didn't need to give these up!

Eggs. Butter. Cheese. Dark chocolate. Coffee.

If you've been quietly avoiding these Cardiologist, Dr Matthew Kahn, just told us something worth hearing.

The truth is, it's not about cutting everything out. It's about understanding what actually matters for your heart over time.

We asked a cardiologist what they still eat despite the reputation these foods have and the answer might surprise you.

Save this for the next time the food guilt creeps in.
