The DTA Podcast
Women's health has been whispered about for too long. On Down There Aware, host Amy Milne gets loud about everything below the belt—endometriosis, PCOS, menopause, pain, medical gaslighting, and the healthcare system's failure to listen. Amy interviews doctors, researchers, advocates, and real women sharing raw stories of misdiagnosis, survival, and resistance.
Don't expect polite conversation that makes light of women's health issues or brushes them off as "just how it is." The conversations are bold, honest, unapologetic, and real.
Whether you're in your own fight with the medical system, battling chronic pain, supporting someone who is, or ready to join a movement demanding better care, this is your space.
We're done with whispers. It's time to get loud.
