On the Mones
On the Mones is where pharmacist, menopause myth-buster, and accidental midlife icon Kate Thomas breaks down the chaos of hormones, perimenopause, aging, wellness woo, and the medical misinformation flooding your feed.
Equal parts science and sass, Kate gives you evidence-based clarity with zero judgement and just the right amount of swearing.
Featuring:
🔬 Prescribe or Pass Deep Dives — real evidence, made simple
🔥 Woo of the Week — the latest miracle cure getting roasted
😂 Honest stories from midlife, pharmacy, and motherhood
🤷♀️ Peri or Petty — the viral quick-fire segment with Kate’s kids
🔧 The Tradie Brother-in-Law — asking the bloke questions all men are dying to ask
Smart, funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly human, On the Mones is the women’s health podcast you’ll actually look forward to each week.
Facts you can trust. Conversations you’ll replay. Validation you didn’t know you needed.
