Presenter and journalist Naga Munchetty chats openly and honestly to Gaby about her medical struggles - which she has put into a new book, which she hopes will help other people.
Naga draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed, and explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.
She also discusses her amazing career, and how she went from being a quiet, card playing student to presenting one of the biggest shows on UK TV.

Here's some more info on Naga's book:
Female health issues have been an afterthought and sidelined for too long. It’s Probably Nothing exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed.
She hears from dozens of women and their loved ones who have sought care only to be told that their symptoms are normal or all in their head. These testimonies highlight the consequences of not being heard, which has left so many living in pain, with chronic and life-changing conditions.
This book illustrates the common problems women face and offers insights from doctors and experts on what we’re entitled to at every stage. It will arm women and their loved ones with the information and confidence to successfully advocate for the best health outcomes.
Women want to be listened to. Women want to be healthy. Women deserve to live their best lives now. It’s Probably Nothing highlights the urgent need for change.
