Introducing the IMAGE Women’s Health Clinic: an empowering health initiative

Women talk. We talk to one another in kitchens and group chats, in quiet corners and crowded rooms. We share worries, information, what hurts, what’s changing, and what no one warned us about. We ask questions. We offer advice. We compare notes. This is how we’ve always understood ourselves – by talking to one another. Now, we’re talking to all women.

Welcome to the IMAGE Women’s Health Clinic. A content and podcast series built on the conversations we’re already having – and the ones we need to start. We’re lifting the lid on women’s health: the real, the raw, the rarely spoken aloud.

What to expect

Through a series of expert-led articles, events, videos, and a dedicated podcast, we’re bringing the lived experience of women together with the expertise of the best medical minds to create something honest, empowering and essential.

At the centre and heart of this community is mother, writer and founder of Heyday Ellie Balfe. Alongside the IMAGE team, she will address the core topics, treatments, trends and taboos all associated with women’s health, from hormonal health and menopause to brain health and burnout – and so much more in between.

Ellie will also host our new podcast ‘The Check In’, which launches this September. She will be getting straight to the heart of what’s truly on women’s minds right now and dive into monthly themes with expert guests and honest voices.

From your 20s to your 70s and beyond, this is your roadmap to a long, healthy, happy life. Because when women are informed, we’re unstoppable. When we speak up, we lift each other up. And when we know better, we live better – for ourselves, for our families, and for generations to come.

We want to hear from you

At IMAGE, we’ve always believed in the power of women talking to one another, be it in kitchens, in group chats, in quiet corners and crowded rooms.

Now, we want to open that circle to every woman.

We’re asking you to share your own health story with us. Whether it’s something you’ve spoken about often or something you’ve carried silently, your experience has the power to help another woman feel seen, heard, and understood.

Over the coming months, we’ll select several stories to feature across IMAGE platforms – shining a light on the realities of women’s health and lifting the lid on the experiences that often go unheard.

This is a movement for truth, empowerment, and progress. And we want you to be part of it.
