Heavy menstrual bleeding affects millions — yet it remains one of the most overlooked areas in women’s health. In this episode, guest host Zara Liew sits down with Dr. Michelle Griffin, women’s health expert advisor for Lindus Health, to unpack the hidden burden of heavy menstrual bleeding. Together they explore how misconceptions about “normal” periods have shaped clinical practice, why menstrual health research has lagged behind, and what more inclusive, patient-centred clinical trial design could mean for the future of women’s health.

From recruitment challenges to digital symptom tracking to the real-world consequences of undertreatment, this is a deep dive into an area of research that urgently needs more attention.
