Women's health has been whispered about for too long. On Down There Aware, host Amy Milne gets loud about everything below the belt—endometriosis, PCOS, menopause, pain, medical gaslighting, and the healthcare system's failure to listen. Amy interviews doctors, researchers, advocates, and real women sharing raw stories of misdiagnosis, survival, and resistance. Don't expect polite conversation that makes light of women's health issues or brushes them off as "just how it is." The conversations are bold, honest, unapologetic, and real. Whether you're in your own fight with the medical system, battling chronic pain, supporting someone who is, or ready to join a movement demanding better care, this is your space. We're done with whispers. It's time to get loud.

Episode #21
Ep. 21: Erectile dysfunction vs endo funding — one of many reasons we're getting LOUD
Aug 17, 202618 minS1
Amy is solo in this episode — and in her underwear — fired up after hearing a radio ad for the common cold and realizing the word "common" isn't a feeling, it's a number. It's a regulatory scale, printed on every drug label, that decides what gets studied, funded, and believed. So she runs the numbers on endometriosis, PMOS, hysterectomies, and surgical menopause against that same scale, and it breaks the chart entirely. Amy lays out exactly how far off from "believed" these conditions are compared to conditions men live with, backed by funding figures that are hard to sit with (to say the least). Tune in to hear why Amy is walking on September 26th, and why you need to be there, too. "Between 2019 and 2023, global funding into erectile dysfunction companies, over a billion dollars. 1.24 billion. And endometriosis, same window, 44 million. Same scale, 28 times the money."

Ep. 20: Dr. Olga Bougie on the research behind endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.
Aug 3, 202635 minS1
Dr. Olga Bougie is the Head of Research in Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Toronto, and a minimally invasive Gynaecologic Surgeon specializing on surgical management of advanced endometriosis as well as other complex benign gynaecologic conditions. For years, she's been watching patients bounce between five to seven specialists before reaching her, all while endometriosis remains chronically underfunded compared to other conditions affecting women. In this episode, Dr. Bougie talks about why endometriosis has been historically dismissed, what the biases in women's health research look like, and what you need to know before walking into your doctor's office. This is the conversation shows exactly why we are running the Down There Affair—because without research funding, there will be no change. Key Components Why a condition that affects millions isn't prioritized for funding, and how that cycle perpetuates. The racial and ethnic biases hiding in medical textbooks: What endometriosis was labeled as in medical literature—and how those biases still live in healthcare today. How to advocate for yourself when even specialists may miss your diagnosis, and what you need to bring to your doctor's appointment to actually be heard. Why private fundraising is the only way forward right now, and why OHIP should start funding research. "For the people who are having a lived experience, know that there's somebody who will listen to you and continue to share your story. The symptoms and the burden that you're experiencing are not okay and it deserves investigations and it deserves treatment."

Ep. 18: Aimee's story & being strong, healthy, and vibrant through the menopause transition.
Jul 13, 202658 minS1
Aimee Debow is the founder of Menovate , a corporate menopause education company, and a former telecom executive who spent 25 years climbing the corporate ladder. For 10 years, she suffered silently through perimenopause and menopause while seeing female colleagues experience the same struggle in complete secrecy. One pivotal moment during a major presentation to senior leadership forced her to make a choice, because she couldn't remember anything despite being the expert. She left corporate, took a year to rebuild her health through sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mental health, and came back transformed. Now she's on a mission to bring menopause education into workplaces across Canada, working with companies to build policies, implement e-learning courses, and create space for conversations that have been silenced for far too long. Key Components How a high-performing executive nearly lost her career because no one told her what was happening to her body. From 20 expected attendees to 500 showing up (plus people outside the room) and what this tells us about how desperate women are for this conversation. Why companies are legally and financially vulnerable if they don't act now: Two countries have already mandated menopause policies—Canada is next. "Ten percent of women are quitting their job because of menopause. Another huge chunk are taking a step back. That is a huge loss to the company."

Ep 16: Simon's story & how men can support women through menopause
Jun 29, 202657 minS1
In today's episode, Amy is joined by Simon Salt. Simon is a speaker, writer, certified menopause coach, and creator of The Quiet Transition—a Substack dedicated to helping men understand and support the women in their lives through perimenopause and menopause. Eight years ago, his wife entered perimenopause and spent four years being dismissed by doctors before finally getting a diagnosis. That experience nearly broke their relationship. Instead of walking away, Simon dove into research and discovered there was virtually no information written for men trying to understand what was happening. In this episode, Simon talks about his journey from personalizing his wife's symptoms to learning to listen, why men and women research menopause differently, and what partners actually need from each other during this transition. Key Components: How Simon went from personalizing his wife's perimenopause symptoms to realizing it had nothing to do with him, and what changed in their relationship that led him down this path. The gap in men's understanding: Why there's plenty of menopause information out there, but almost none of it is written for men to understand. A framework called "sit, listen, believe": How men can actually support their partners instead of trying to fix them. Why men research impact while women research symptoms.

Ep. 15: Melissa's story & how your brain remembers pain
Jun 22, 20261h 3mS1
In today's episode, Amy is joined by Melissa Melia Dunn—a registered psychotherapist in Hamilton, Ontario, with a private practice supporting teens, adults, and couples. She has a specific niche: women and couples experiencing chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis. She wasn't always a therapist—she spent years in event planning, working with organizations like Free the Children and Lululemon before making the shift to therapy during the pandemic. What drew her to this specific work was her own 20-year endometriosis diagnosis journey. In this episode, Melissa breaks down how the nervous system works, why pain persists even after surgery, and why endometriosis is actually a chronic pain condition that needs to be treated differently than the medical system currently treats it. Key Components: Her 20-year endometriosis journey and the moment she realized nobody explained it as chronic pain. How your brain generates pain even after surgery, and why intercourse can hurt after a hysterectomy when "everything is fixed." The nervous system's job is to keep you safe, not just to hurt: How emotional safety, relationships, and life stress directly impact pelvic pain. Endometriosis is being treated like a structural problem when it's also a nervous system problem. There's a gap in how we approach chronic pelvic pain. "There's this chronic pain experience, and there are so many tools that we can do. But because this is women only, the research gaps mean we're behind the scene."
