Menopause Whist Black Season SIX Episode 2! 


Our guest for Episode three this week is Dr Itunuwoluwa Johnson
@DrShoCares. Dr Itunu is a portfolio GP who specialises in
menopause care based in North London. She is a founder of
@rockmymenopause bringing menopause facts and myths to the fore
and part of @heal_courses empowering Black health.


Dr Itunu champions health equity and holistic practise as GP
Tutor and examiner at Queen Marys Hospital. 


We discuss:


how her mothers experience with breast cancer influenced her
path.

medical school training

her passion for helping Black women in pain

her own diagnosis of PCOS AND Endometriosis

What Culturally Competent Care looks like within the health
profession

and so much more.



We also had a lot of fun talking about her own daily routine
which might seem unusual to some but thats the beauty of crafting
your own rituals and that work for you, right?
