’m so pleased to speak to Dr Joyce Omatseye, a UK-based medical doctor, health advocate and digital health innovator on today’s episode of Period Story podcast. 

In this episode, Dr Joyce shares: 

• Why it’s important that both girls and boys are educated about periods
• Cultural differences around talking about menstrual health between the UK and Nigeria
• What led to her launching her health events organisation Ara Nini Health 
• How creating safe spaces for discussions on fertility, reproductive health and fertility has opened conversations across multiple generations of women
• What it means to be a Black female doctor in the UK
• How she advocates for her patients 
• Her work with WHO Fides to combat misinformation in global health and why we need to be aware of what we’re consuming online 
• How to be prepared for conversations with your doctor
• And of course, the story of her first period 

Dr Joyce says that we should never be afraid to ask the questions we need to in a doctor’s appointment and if you feel you’re not being listened to, ask for a second opinion. She says that there’s no doctor that should feel offended by you asking for a second opinion. 

Thank you, Dr Joyce!
