Hysterical Women is the women’s health podcast that makes hormones make sense and creates a safe space where women can be as hysterical as they’d like. Hosted by Dr. Michelle Jacobson and Jenn Patterson, co-founders of Coven Women’s Health, this show is your dose of no nonsense education, empathy, and humour.
We’re here to dig into the questions you’ve been Googling at 2 a.m., the symptoms that freak you out and the things your doctor can’t explain – from PMS and perimenopause to insomnia, sex (or lack of), and everything in between.
No jargon, no judgment – just honest conversations about your body, your hormonal health, and your options.
Because being heard and supported in your health shouldn’t be rare. It should be the standard.
Welcome to the Coven. You belong here.
Episode 10: Not Here to F*ck Spiders: Mental Health, Menopause & Feeling Like Yourself Again with Dominique Williams
In this episode, Dr. Michelle is joined by Dominique Williams, a Registered Social Worker at Coven Women’s Health, for a deeply honest and empowering conversation about mental health in perimenopause/menopause, and why so many women feel dismissed, invisible, or like they’re “losing it” during this transition.
Dominique shares her personal journey through perimenopause, a breast cancer diagnosis, and the moment she was told by a healthcare provider that there was “nothing” that could help her symptoms - an experience that shaped her work supporting other women today.
Episode 9: Nosh with Nish: Cutting Through Protein Hype, Creatine & Nutrition Noise
In this episode, Jenn is joined once again by Coven’s Registered Dietitian Nishta Saxena to answer the nutrition questions the Coven keeps asking - from protein overload and creatine hype to whether the latest fitness trends are actually worth your time.
Episode 8: Q&A with Dr. J: Periods, Pain, Sex, TikTok Myths and Everything In Between
In this end-of-year episode, Dr. Michelle and Jenn answer the Coven and the Internet’s most Googled (and sometimes unhinged) women’s health questions – from coffee-ground period blood to butthole zingers, vaginal dryness, TikTok sex rumors, “menopause psychosis,” and whether diarrhea during your period is actually normal (spoiler: yes).
