Two doctors. One mission: to give women a double dose of honesty, humour, and real talk about their bodies, brains, and everything in between.


Every week, Dr Emily MacDonagh and Dr Raj Arora swap clinic chat for candid conversation —

debunking viral health myths, sharing “Doctor’s Orders (that we actually break),” and laughing through the wild, wonderful chaos of womanhood.


From hormones and motherhood to skin, sleep, neurodiversity and sex, no topic’s too taboo and no question’s too awkward.


Expect expert insight with a healthy side of humour as they unpack what medicine gets right, what social media gets very wrong, and whatwomen really want to know. Whether you’re chasing a “glow,” juggling tiny humans or trying to remember the last time you slept eight hours, Double Dose reminds you that being healthy isn’tabout perfection — it’s about perspective.


Tune in, laugh loud, learn something new, and get your weekly prescription of truth-telling with Dr Emily & Dr Raj.
