This week, broadcaster and now author Naga Munchetty, joins Gabby to talk about her journey to the midpoint.


As Naga explains in this episode, it wasn’t until midlife that she was diagnosed with adenomyosis and realised that, despite what she had been told her entire adult life, her periods had always been far from normal. It motivated her to understand more about what is going on in women’s health and why women’s reproductive issues are not better diagnosed or understood. She has put all of this into her new book It’s Probably Nothing, and here she shares some of the anecdotes and advice from it; for example, how best to prepare for a medical appointment in order to get the help you need.


They also talk about how Naga found exercise in midlife, how fortunate she feels to be doing a job she loves, and the pros and cons of not letting her condition curtail her life and passions.

There’s a particular kind of energy that comes with the middle of life-a mix of experience, shifting priorities, and a few unexpected physical and mental curveballs. On The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan, broadcaster Gabby Logan leans into that phase with curiosity and frank humour. Each conversation moves beyond the surface, as Gabby sits down with familiar names to unpack their personal midlife stories, from career pivots and family dynamics to the very real changes in health and fitness. This isn’t just anecdotal; the discussions are thoughtfully informed by specialists, whether that’s a nutritionist reframing diet, a sleep scientist, or a doctor explaining hormonal shifts. The result is a podcast that feels like a series of honest, reassuring chats with friends who aren’t afraid to ask the real questions. Listeners will find a space that normalises the complexities of this life stage, offering both relatable stories and tangible takeaways for navigating one’s own midpoint with more clarity and a lot less shame.
