We heard from a listener this week. It was music to our ears!! Have you checked out our Season 2 yet? #healthpodcast #whatishealth

Look who shared... We have the best guests on Small Conversations and Dr. Lori Brotto is no exception. We took some time and spoke about #debunkingdesire, Women’s Sexual Health Research and how to be the Canadian Sexual Health Research Chair.

Women’s Health Research around the globe is underfunded yet across disciplines it is understood that women are not just small men. Women’s Sexual Health is one of those areas of healthcare where so much is not known. In however, Dr. Lori Brotto works, seemingly tirelessly, to shed light into Women’s Health Research, with her own specific lens on Women’s Sexual Health. We cover a lot of ground in this, our final conversation of the official 2020 season: covering how a girl... from a conservative Canadian family ends up researching sex, the Canadian Research Chair, the Women’s Health Research Initiative at BC Women’s Hospital, her book and more. Episode drops today! http://smallconversations.buzzsprout.com/

In our final Season 2 interview, join us for a wide ranging conversation about women’s health, and better sex! Our guest, Dr. Lori Brotto is a Professor in the UBC Dept of Obstetrics & Gynsecology and a Registered Psychologist in Vancouver BC. She spearheads the Women’s Health Institute of BC - home to all research conducted at the BC Women’s Hospital. http://smallconversations.buzzsprout.com//5022158-debunkin
