Sasha & Stella welcome Elaine Miller to join them for a riveting conversation unpacking the effects of testosterone on the female body, with particular attention to the pelvic area.

Elaine Miller is a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, pelvic health specialist, and award winning comedian. She is interested in using humour as a health promotion tool, the impact of cross sex hormones on female bodies and the lack of focus in health care on excellence in practice for these people. Elaine is currently writing a book about what women can expect from their genitals during the course of their lifetime.

This conversation uncovers shocking insights about incontinence and other physiological changes as the result of putting a female system on disproportionately high levels of testosterone. This episode is a must-listen for therapists, parents, individuals considering testosterone therapy, and healthcare professionals who want to understand the real, often overlooked, consequences of cross-sex hormones on female bodies.
