10+ Best Health Podcasts for Women (2024 Update)
If you’re looking for podcasts dedicated to women’s health, then you’ve got to check out this list of the Best Health Podcasts for Women. Find informational shows dedicated to women’s health and healing.
Best Women’s Health Podcasts
1. Are You Menstrual?
This podcast is hosted by Amanda Montalvo who is a registered dietitian. Amanda has a great mindset about nutrition and health, and she promotes a diet-free approach that is non-restrictive.
She often touches on issues of mental health, reproductive health, gut health, and physical health without promoting weight loss.
Amanda sometimes invites on a special guest to provide the best information on specialized topics.
I would categorize her recommendations as part of a real food, pro-metabolic diet approach, and I’ve learned a ton from her! I also follow her on social media and enjoy her posts.
2. The Dr. Brooke Show
If you are over 40 or have any hormone imbalance issues, I highly, highly recommend listening to this podcast from Brooke Kalanick ND, MS, LAc.
She also has a non-restrictive approach that is inclusive and helpful. This is probably the best podcast if you are brand-new to healthy living and want the best information to get started.
3. On Health
Dr. Romm is the author of The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution and is a Yale-trained physician.
She has a history of using holistic and alternative health therapies, so I love that she makes natural healing for women’s health issues a theme. She also organizes her episodes by health concern, so that makes it helpful to find information on specific issues.
Dr. Romm has a particular style of speaking that I sometimes find off-putting, but that is a personal choice. Otherwise, she is absolutely brilliant and the information she provides is truly female-focused and top-notch.
She also makes a point to include black women in her health information as minorities are often overlooked in healthcare.
4. PCOS Diva
Amy Medling is an expert on managing polycystic ovarian syndrome, and she uses her podcast to present interviews with other experts about this complex disorder.
Amy’s advice centers around real food and healthy habits which actually applies to all women!
You can listen to my interview on the PCOS Diva podcast where I discussed my journey with overcoming disordered eating.
5. Primal Diet Modern Health
I can’t say enough good things about nutritionist Beverly Meyer, and I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to every single episode of her podcast at least once and sometimes twice.
Talk about smart, savvy, and a straight-talker, Beverly is all of those things and more. This podcast is another “must listen” for women recovering from the Standard American Diet and/or health issues like insomnia, anxiety, and hormone issues.
6. The Well-Fed Women Podcast
This podcast is particularly helpful for women under 40, but, honestly, the inspiration from the hosts about body image and balanced nutrition applies to women of all ages.
But, if you are under 40 or know a youngish woman who is struggling with fertility or disordered eating, this one would be a great choice.
Noelle and Stefani are both real women who have dealt with their own health issues. They promote an intuitive eating approach that is great for healthy hormones.
7. Phoenix Helix
If you’re dealing with an autoimmune disease, you must listen to this podcast. It’s enormously helpful and the host, Eileen Laird, is one smart cookie.
If you’re feeling alone or hopeless because of your autoimmune diagnosis, then this podcast will help you find support and resources that can help.
8. Be Well with Kelly
Kelly Leveque is a nutritionist with experience in helping women with hormone and eating disorder issues. She has so much wisdom and practical advice, and she interviews other qualified health experts.
Highly recommend this one for learning more about women’s experiences and general health input.!
More Excellent Health Podcasts
The remainder of my recommendations are not limited to women’s health podcasts, but they are also excellent sources of information for both female and male holistic health.
9. Primal Kitchen Podcast
This is the podcast of Mark’s Daily Apple, with a focus on primal/paleo health.
I wouldn’t say that every episode is relevant for women, but it is still an excellent resource.
This interview about thyroid health with host Elle Russ and Gary Foresman, MD, was a turning point in my health, because it motivated me to get help to manage my thyroid replacement hormone better.
You can also hear my interview on the Primal Blueprint podcast.
10. Revolution Health Radio
This is the podcast of Chris Kresser and it is also an excellent, excellent resource.
Chris is a former vegan who had to change his diet and lifestyle to recover his health. This podcast has recently become more technical, but it’s great for the very informed and educated patient (or for healthcare providers).
Bonus Recommendations
Additional podcasts I subscribe to and often enjoy include: The Skinny Confidential Him and Her Podcast, The Dr. Louise Newsom Podcast, and Zoe Science and Nutrition.

Such a great list & resource for women. Yay, I see Beverley is in there 🙂 You should definitely start one, if you have not already.
Awww, thank you Stacey!!! I have not started mine yet, but definitely moving in that direction. 🙂 XO.
Carrie – Thanks so much for bringing these podcasts into the spotlight. They are all so informative and great for women of all ages.
Thanks for this list. I haven’t been a podcast listener until recently because my schedule never really allowed for it, but now I’ve been able to take longer walks and have been listening to them then. I’ll have to give some of these a listen to and I’m excited to check yours out!
Awwww, thanks Michele!!! 🙂
I absolutely love this blog post and all these powerful podcasters. Thanks for sharing!
I love Dr. Romm and didn’t know she had a podcast! Thank you! Beverly Meyer is a favorite of mine too!
You’re so welcome, Renee. Isn’t Beverly brilliant? I have learned so much from her. XO.
The Paleo View!! Got to add that one!
That’s another fantastic resource!!! XO.
I love listening to podcasts. I just finished holistic nutrition school and it’s such a great way to learn more and keep up-to-date with health info! Thanks for all the recos. 🙂 I would absolutely listen to you! People love to hear other experiences and knowledge.
Thanks, Cindy!!!! Congrats on finishing your training. We need more holistic health professionals in the world!!! Xoxo.
I used to blast music while cooking or doing chores, but my new favorite thing is listening to podcasts instead. I just switched my phone over to unlimited data so I can stream podcasts at work while I’m at my desk. 🙂 I always think it’s fun to hear someone’s voice after reading their blog for so long – it may not always be what you imagined.
Same here, Natalie. I would love to know your current fav podcast. And, I totally agree, it can be a strange experience to hear a blogger’s voice for the first time. I’m still getting used to the idea of recording and having to hear my own voice. Yikes! 🙂
I would definitely subscribe to your podcast, Carrie! 🙂
Thanks for making my day, Amber!!! XOXO.
Omg you will be doing one!!? So awesome!
The podcasts I’ve been listening to in the last couple of years are somewhat antithetical to all of the health podcasts. My recent favorites deal with healing disordered eating/exercise and sadly, sometimes, the “health” podcasts fuel disordered/orthorexic behavior. My favorites are Rebelle Health Radio, Finding our Hunger (no longer being made, but back episodes are awesome), Real Health Radio by Chris Sandel, The Fuckit Diet (for reals and it’s my favorite).
Excited for your next adventures!
Well, it’s still an idea-in-progress, Deb!!! But, I REALLY appreciate the moral support. And, thanks for sharing your list!!! It’s cool how there are podcasts for every stage of life, and it sounds like you have found some that speak to you. XOXOXOXOXO!!!
