SPECIAL: In conversation with Dr Jen Gunter

Missing Perspectives Season 1 Episode 16

Introducing a **very** different episode this week, just to shake things up here at Booksmart. Because honestly, why not?

This week, Tash sits down with the iconic Dr Jen Gunter for an equally iconic conversation.

Dr Gunter is also known as "Tik Tok and Twitter's Resident Gynecologist", having used the platform to debunk myths about women's health, amassing a huge following in the process. 

The Canadian-American gynecologist, New York Times columnist, author and most important truth teller in women’s health, is passionate about setting the record straight on dubious wellness product claims, misconceptions about basic anatomy and confusion over reproductive rights. 

Her opinions – that most supplements are a waste of money, underwire bras do not cause cancer, you actually can get an IUD if you’ve never been pregnant, and your vagina should not smell like a pina colada – are shared with her hundreds of thousands of followers.

Buckle up, because this is quite the episode - and we guarantee you'll learn some new things along the ride.
