Utilising her professional and personal experience to help address women's health inequalities
In 2026 Liz released her first book Not Just Painful Periods published by Octopus, Aster and noted as a 'Groundbreaking book in menstrual health'. The book draws upon her personal and professional experience to provide a comprehensive guide to help women understand their menstrual health and conditions such as Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids, PMOS and PMDD.
Dr Liz published the white paper proposing a new clinical framework and policy to support recovery in women's health. In recognition of the current diagnostic delay and crisis within the healthcare system, Dr Liz outlined a new Transformational Health model outlining the Diagnosis Spiral and Thrive Arc which could be used to aid recovery in Women's Health.
A former NHS doctor, she bridges clinical expertise with lived experience to address the widespread normalisation of menstrual pain and delayed diagnosis in women’s healthcare.
Working as a medical advisor to organisations such as Boots, Always and Tampax Liz is helping reshape conversations around women’s health, healthcare inequality, and the future of compassionate care.
