Susan Blain / Anne Brodie / Dr. Christine Palmay / Ludovic Brunel / Mandeep Johal

We kick off with Susan Blain, the courageous founder of the Dare to Be Vulnerable (DTBV) Project. Susan's personal journey through depression, panic disorder, and PTSD has led her to create a platform that fosters open discussions about mental health and the transformative power of vulnerability. Her inspiring story is a beacon of hope and healing, and she's here to share her valuable insights with us.

Next, Anne Brodie brings us her weekly entertainment roundup. This week, we delve into the Nordic film 'Fallen Leaves,' which poignantly captures life's quieter moments. We'll also explore the CBC docuseries 'Swan Song,' celebrating Karen Kain's remarkable fifty seasons with the National Ballet of Canada, and take a peek at 'The Buccaneers' on Apple TV, which Anne finds a bit too far-fetched for her taste.

In our regular 'Care to Know' segment, Dr. Christine Palmay returns to shed light on diabetes, a condition affecting millions and a significant concern for our healthcare system. As we observe National Diabetes Awareness Month, Dr. Palmay will debunk myths and offer crucial advice on managing this chronic disease.

Shifting our focus to men's health, I welcome Ludovic Brunel ND who joins me on behalf of New Roots Herbal, a returning sponsor to What She Said. In the spirit of Movember, we're discussing a topic that often goes unnoticed – prostate health. While vital for men to know , women, we play an important role in supporting their health journey by knowing what to look for. Ludovic will provide essential insights into this crucial aspect of men's health including prevention for BPH.

Finally, I welcome back Dr. Mandeep Johal for another ‘Smile Spectrum' segment. As we brace for the colder months, Dr. Johal will guide us through the impacts of chilly weather on our dental health, how to manage the sugary temptations of the holiday season, and tips to keep our smiles bright through the festivities of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and beyond.
