1
I'm never glad that the things that have happened have happened and that, of course, I wish that my children all had great health
2
and I wish that I hadn't had the health experiences that I've had.
3
I can't help but thinking that it's helped me and my husband both be better doctors,
4
because I think whenever you are that person in the bed or that person in the waiting room,
5
nervously wondering what the doctor is going to be like and are they going to take you seriously?
6
And I really think that that experience really expanded my knowledge.
7
And it also helped me understand what it's like to have someone in your house be quite unwell
8
and the impact that that has on the whole family.
9
So who are you and why are you here?
10
My name is Shauna Watt and I'm a family doctor who lives in Australia, originally from Hollywood in Northern Ireland.
11
I'm a 40-something mum of four children.
12
I own two businesses.
13
I've been a university teacher, a family doctor, and now I am a bit of an entrepreneur,
14
I suppose, and I enjoy presenting and speaking on various women's health topics.
15
Um, and we're here because I decided that I've got something to say
16
and my job has always put me in a privileged position.
17
I've been able to attend amazing conferences and I'm here.
18
Amazing people speak.
19
You're at the top of their field and I'm so lucky
20
because every day I get to pick up the phone to various specialists
21
and allied health people that I work with and to get support for my patients and to get advice.
22
And I decided that I would like to bring some of those people in to meet you all
23
so that you can listen in on our conversations
24
and hopefully take a few nuggets that might help you in your life or your children or grandchildren or partner.
25
And so that's really the thought behind the podcast.
26
Can you tell us about your childhood and where you grew up?
27
Yes, so I was born and raised in a small town just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland.
28
And I have an older sister and lived with my mum and dad.
29
Lived a very happy, loving household.
30
Unfortunately, my dad did pass away, but my mum is still alive and well.
31
And everyone who knows me knows that I'm with my mum.
32
and all my patients always ask me when she's coming next to visit
33
so she comes out quite a lot to visit
34
and I just love her so that's awesome
35
and I grew up surrounded with a big extended family
36
so I'm typically Irish perhaps my mum is one of 12
37
and my dad is one of eight so there is a lot of cousins
38
and the lovely thing is that all those cousins were in our lives
39
and all the aunties and uncles
40
so you kind of grew up with cousins who were your friends
41
and various cousins have come and met us
42
and we've met them in America they've come to Australia
43
so that's really awesome
44
but yeah really happy childhood went to school the whole way
45
through in the same town called Hollywood where all the stars are from.
46
No, so all joking aside, it is Hollywood.
47
And we were there before Hollywood in America, but our one is only spelt with one L.
48
But it is pronounced Hollywood and some pretty famous people are from there like Van Morrison
49
and Rory McIlroy the golfer and Jamie Dornan.
50
So, you know, we're like a town of celebrities.
51
No, it's an awesome place and I love going back there.
52
and after school I went to university in Belfast
53
so I literally was able to take the train and
54
when I wasn't at university studying to be a doctor I was working in the local supermarket
55
and was the lottery girl and did
56
that the whole way until like literally about three weeks before I was a doctor
57
and I'm still in contact with lots of people that I worked there with as well.
58
So yeah, pretty happy childhood.
59
When did you realize that you wanted to become a doctor?
60
So my dad, who I did mention, he passed away over 20 years ago, but he always tells a funny story or always told a funny story
61
that he always knew I was going to be a nurse or a doctor because I always fussed and worried about him.
62
And he was ill for a very, very long time
63
and he used to walk me to school each day
64
and apparently when I was five or six or seven
65
or something I stopped um dead one day on the pavement
66
and I refused to walk and he was like what are you doing
67
and I apparently cried and said that his legs were too sore
68
and that he wasn't allowed to walk me to school anymore
69
because I was too worried that something was going to happen to him
70
so he um would say that it was from
71
that point um realistically i definitely went through a time
72
when i was probably 12 or 13 where i was going to be a vet
73
and and i absolutely love animals
74
and anyone who follows me will often see pictures of me with my great dane
75
and my other dogs so i love animals
76
but um ultimately um i think sometime in my teens i decided
77
that i was going to be a doctor
78
and to be honest it was just head down bum up
79
and I just studied like mad to get into university
80
and at 18 I went off to university
81
and started studying to be a doctor
82
and at the time I was 23 years old I was on the wards as a doctor in the hospital.
83
And what about your your own family husband kids?
84
Yes so I met my husband Peter at medical school
85
so we didn't know each other right from the first few days of medical school
86
but we didn't start dating i think for another maybe three
87
or four years and we've been together ever since and and we have four children together he range from
88
22 to 12 and so we've got two boys and two girls
89
and i'm pretty obsessed with my kids
90
that up there with my obsession with my mother and and
91
and they're all very individual and and really awesome
92
and i do look back and think 10 years ago
93
when i was standing at dublin airport with what seemed like 27 suitcases
94
and i had a two-year-old and a four-year-old and a 10-year-old
95
and a 12-year-old i look back and think god i was
96
so crazy what was i thinking because we came to australia
97
and we didn't know anyone like we literally did not know anyone
98
and we didn't know anyone on the central coast
99
but here we are 10 years later we've got lots of friends our kids love it
100
and i feel like we're so integrated so yeah it's been good
101
and when you first started your journey as a doctor
102
and practicing what kind of things were you doing
103
so obviously all doctors start off as hospital doctors or junior doctors
104
and I had a very firm idea of what I wanted to be
105
and I was obsessed with being a pediatric surgeon
106
so a children's surgeon
107
that was all I was going to be no one was
108
going to be able to talk me out of it
109
and lots of people did try and talk me out of it
110
but I was pretty determined and look I did really very well at medical school
111
and so I was very lucky that I actually got a position on the surgical training program, which is pretty difficult.
112
And although I absolutely loved it and I thrived and I loved being in theater and the operating and just the buzz, like it's definitely quite exciting,
113
maybe just as a junior doctor, but I loved it.
114
But what I realized quite quickly was that I actually loved talking to patients more.
115
I always wondered what happened next and I realized very quickly
116
that I loved patients stories and I love to be part of their stories
117
so one of my jobs was in the breast cancer unit
118
and I just remember I always used to wonder how the patients got on like did
119
that lady did she get to go to her son's wedding
120
or you know did that person manage to see their son graduate
121
and I always wondered what happened next
122
and the funny thing is I always say
123
that general practice probably chose me a lot longer before I had made
124
that decision at medical school I actually won a medal
125
and prize for general practice and that was quite a nice thing to win
126
and I was obviously really proud and really happy
127
but I remember being presented with the award
128
and the professor of general practice trying to talk me into being a general practitioner
129
and I was quite determined no no I'm not going to be a GP I'm going to be a surgeon
130
and I look back now and think that I'm so glad
131
that I did make that change
132
because I love being a doctor I love being a GP I'm really lucky
133
that I'm one of those people I look forward to every day it's such a it's such a hard job
134
and And I think people don't maybe appreciate actually how much you have to know about
135
so many subjects and so many topics and so many medications,
136
but it's actually such a privilege and it's all the interconnections because you know,
137
often know a whole family and the in-laws and you know their story.
138
And I definitely have quite a good memory.
139
So people always go, I can't believe you remember that.
140
it's not often not because I've written it on
141
but I'll kind of remember that really quirky comment
142
that someone's told me about and I'll remember
143
so yeah that's kind of was my journey to general practice
144
I also throughout my career I've always been involved really in teaching
145
and I taught at the university in Belfast for quite a long time
146
and then I've also taught students in the GP clinic
147
and then in later most recent years I've been teaching at the University of Sydney as well
148
and I absolutely love that it's such a buzz the students are
149
so enthusiastic and the things
150
that I love teaching are those softer skills like you know communication
151
but in a really soft way and looking behind what the patient is really saying
152
and I think that the students seem to enjoy my lessons
153
so recently had to give that up because i just don't have enough time
154
but it's definitely something that i've loved and i um really miss
155
and i kind of hope in this podcast that it's something
156
that will be able to um skills that will be transferable
157
because the reality is i just want and to be able to help
158
so many people and help them understand you know their health journey
159
and of the topics that you teach or experience in your sort of day-to-day are there any that you have
160
sort of a deeper interest in or of real focus areas for you?
161
Definitely.
162
I think as a mum of four, there's no doubt that I'm definitely still really interested in children.
163
I love having children and teenagers in my clinic with me.
164
I feel like I'm good at building rapport with children,
165
but I suppose really I have gravitated a lot towards women's health and women's mental health.
166
So I do spend a lot of time doing quite long consultations for people with complex mental health disorders.
167
And I absolutely love the relationships that I've developed with local psychologists and psychiatrists.
168
And, you know, I have various, you know, eating disorder teams and things like that who work really closely with me.
169
So I suppose those are my real interests.
170
And then I think stemming from my own personal experiences, I also have a real interest in perimenopause and menopause.
171
As someone who had an early menopause myself and it potentially wasn't managed the best.
172
I think I have a lot of empathy for people who are going through that.
173
And I think, you know, I've tried to really educate myself because the reality is whether we like it or not, there's not a lot of education done at medical school.
174
And in fact, in a lot of training on menopause and perimenopause.
175
And that's obviously a subject that's been getting increasing airtime because, you know, I think lots of women have just got to the point where they've kind of had enough
176
and they want someone to pay attention.
177
so that was um and still is a very big interest
178
and I suppose leading on from that and I have my own clinics
179
and now one in the central coast and one in Newcastle
180
and and that really evolved for many reasons
181
and one um I have to admit I was always someone who thought
182
that I would never have anti-wrinkle injections and
183
so I kind of do have a chuckle to myself occasionally
184
and when I realize not only do I have them
185
but I give them and but I came at this
186
because I wanted it to be different I felt like there the medicine had been taken out of aesthetics
187
and I felt that the medicine needed to be put back in I felt
188
that the doctor needed to be put back into those
189
consultations
190
and I wanted everything to be slowed down I felt like
191
sometimes it's all become a bit of a rush something
192
that you maybe you know you're in this shopping center
193
and you nip in have this treatment
194
and I think somewhere along the way the the consequences
195
and the potential side effects have maybe got a little bit diluted
196
and perhaps people don't quite understand until something goes wrong
197
and it was on the back of me as a gp
198
kind of dealing with some patients who had difficult consequences of a few treatments
199
that i hadn't done and in fact i didn't really know anything about at
200
that point that made me do a bit of a deep dive to understand what those patients had had
201
and possibly what had gone wrong and it made me decide
202
that i wanted to see if i could do do it differently.
203
And so out of that was born you.
204
And so my clinics are called you by Dr. Shauna Watts.
205
And, and that name really was chosen for a few reasons.
206
You, because I want my patients to know that they'll walk in looking like themselves.
207
So you'll be you when you walk in and you'll be you when you walk out.
208
So I think the thing that's interesting in cosmetic medicine is there are some really incredible technologies
209
and some really amazing research
210
but we've all seen this sort of skewed far end where
211
the person who's potentially had a lot of work done
212
and we've seen celebrities where it's all gone a bit over the top
213
and I wanted to show that you actually can use some of these really interesting
214
and great innovations but you can use them in a very subtle and you can use them to improve someone's confidence,
215
but they can walk in looking like themselves and they can walk out looking like themselves.
216
And I think the reason that we ended up wanting to have my name
217
and the name was I wanted to say that I'm going to take responsibility.
218
So it wasn't that I was sort of a nameless organization that I was going to literally sign my name below it.
219
And that does have its own, I suppose, pressure.
220
But that's good because that means that I'm always striving to make sure that we always try our best.
221
And, you know, we're not perfect.
222
And we, I'm sure at times, you know, people will potentially feel like we haven't always been 100%.
223
But, you know, I'm always striving to make sure that our customer care is amazing, that our aftercare is amazing and
224
and in fact you know even there was a slip of the tongue
225
because they're not customers they're they're patients and we refer to them as patients
226
and at my clinic we just constantly check in the doctor's always checking in
227
so that you don't just go off
228
and disappear into the ether you know there's always a doctor
229
at the very minimum every three months the doctor is bringing you back in to see how are you going
230
and the nice thing about our clinic as well is
231
that I really focused our clinics on
232
that group of women who I thought had
233
that risk of starting to become a little bit invisible women
234
who at a certain age were beginning to lose a bit of confidence
235
and who unfortunately in society often can become a bit ignored
236
and and although we know I attract women of all ages I'm still really proud that for a long time,
237
our clinic was absolutely focused on that age group of sort of people between 40 and 70.
238
And I was really happy to be working with that group of women.
239
And what's been really lovely is just watching women who, you know, I think all of us are moving through years of our lives
240
and I know I'm not the same person as I was
241
when I was 20 or when I was 30
242
or in fact even the same person
243
that I was six months ago like we're always evolving
244
and growing and and you know I know we talk about post-traumatic stress
245
but I also think that there's another thing called post-traumatic growth
246
and I think that we all can move forward together so I think it's a very positive clinic
247
in a very positive environment.
248
And that has sort of ended up, you know, what we do there has actually ended up expanding.
249
So we've got very incorporating a lot of lifestyle medicine, helping people with their weight, helping people with perimenopause, menopausal symptoms.
250
So yeah, the whole thing's always evolving and growing, which is fun.
251
It's fun every day going to work.
252
Amazing.
253
And what about on sort of the other side of things, your experience as not just a doctor but being a patient yourself
254
so I think that's really interesting and although I'm never glad
255
that the things that have happened have happened and
256
that of course I wish that my children all had great health
257
and I wish that I hadn't had the health experiences
258
that I've had I can't help but thinking that it's helped me
259
and my husband both be better doctors because I think whenever you are
260
that person in the bed or
261
that person in the waiting room nervously wondering what the doctor is going to be like
262
and are they going to take you seriously it really helps you see how intimidating it is
263
and how frustrating it can be
264
and even though we were doctors at times you know we have felt you know dismissed
265
or not taken seriously so I think
266
the interesting part for us has been
267
that of our four children um the first two were really very healthy um
268
and we didn't really have any significant health problems
269
but then our third child my daughter had very significant health problems
270
and I actually had to take quite a significant time out
271
of work to um spend a lot of time in hospital with her
272
and at that point we lived still in Northern Ireland, but we frequently had to fly to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where she was also a patient.
273
And I think that probably also honed my researching skills because my daughter's got quite a rare condition.
274
So I would be sitting late at night researching, reading, finding journals, trying to find experts in Germany, in the USA.
275
And I really think that that experience really expanded my knowledge and it also helped me understand what it's like to have
276
someone in your house be quite unwell and the impact that that has on the whole family
277
and we also have a child who's neurodivergent
278
and that's been a bit of a learning curve for us as well i think
279
if i'm being honest i probably used to pat myself on
280
the back uh probably a bit too much um about you know i was such a great parent
281
and my first two children were so easy and
282
and i think you know i got a bit of a rude awakening
283
and realized that that was probably more to do with their personalities rather than my
284
and peter's magnificent parenting and and but what has been lovely is
285
that i definitely am a believer on my good days
286
that um these children are sent to teach us something and
287
and have taught me a lot more patience
288
and um how to you know work around situations and not be
289
so shitey and things so i think that's really helped me
290
and both as a person and as a doctor
291
and then the other thing
292
that we went through whenever i was in my early 30s um actually a few years
293
so my dad had had been um had passed away probably about six
294
or seven years by this time and his sister my dad's sister became very unwell
295
and ultimately died from breast and ovarian cancer
296
and i was very close to her i'd grown up with her my whole life
297
and in fact her end of life care she had me front
298
and center of it she didn't seem to trust any other doctors
299
and then me so that was i was very close to
300
that situation and at the same time two of my cousins on
301
that same side of the family also had breast cancer
302
and they were very young and ultimately we realized after my aunt had passed away that she carried
303
the BRCA1 gene which nowadays a lot of people have heard of
304
and because my dad had passed away they went straight to testing myself
305
and my sister and whereas they they tested all my my dad's siblings
306
and I have to say I probably went into that really naively
307
and that was one of the situations where probably being a doctor wasn't super helpful
308
and because I definitely didn't really think it through
309
and think through what the potential implications of knowing would be
310
I was quite blase about having the blood test I was a hundred percent sure it was going to be fine.
311
And then it was a bit of a shock when it wasn't.
312
And the way I got the news, which was actually entirely my fault, I was at work and ended up getting them.
313
And I actually don't remember, I had to drive home that night for about one hour
314
and I actually don't even remember that journey home because I think, you know, there's no doubt
315
that lots of people will see having a gene is a sort of oh it's a positive thing
316
that you know but bear in mind I had literally just watched my auntie die
317
and leave her children and I also was watching two of my cousins be extremely unwell
318
so it was pretty that was very very hard it was a really difficult time
319
I found it very scary for a long time
320
and I think it definitely gives you a different perspective on life
321
and because I feel like you know you've got this thing
322
and you have to make a decision like what can you do to reduce your risk
323
and I had certainly one plan in my mind of what was going to happen
324
and then I had my third daughter or my third child
325
and when she was so unwell all my plans went out the window
326
because of course as a mum you just focus on your child
327
and the reality is that I was just having regular screening tests
328
and then got a phone call to say actually we need to do this surgery
329
so that was pretty confronting um so I think I was 32 or 33 and I had a double mastectomy
330
or a bilateral mastectomy and then I decided
331
that I wanted to have another baby
332
so we um then had our fourth child and
333
because of the gene that I have it can give you breast cancer ovarian cancer
334
but pancreatic and also the gene that I have also seems to give you a type of lung cancer as well
335
so I mean there's only so many organs from your body
336
that you can decide you're going to do something about
337
and there's lots of different mutations like some people don't have all of those risks
338
but those are the ones that run in our family
339
so basically at my cesarean section for Quinn I went from being pregnant to menopausal in 30 minutes
340
so we went and we made the decision that we had to remove my ovaries.
341
And I suppose if we fast forward now, so that's 12 years ago,
342
that's probably one of the reasons why I have a lot of empathy for women who are perimenopausal.
343
At that time, I was in my early 30s.
344
Absolutely none of my friends could really understand.
345
I couldn't really understand many of the symptoms, to be honest.
346
It really wasn't something that was
347
hugely talked about and at that time hormone replacement therapy
348
or HRT had massively gone out of favor
349
and it was considered too risky for people who had either breast cancer
350
or a high risk of breast cancer to be on HRT
351
so it was definitely quite a challenging time
352
and I have a look back now and think god I survived
353
that but I think you know I had four kids
354
and it was busy and one was sick and you know
355
so I used to just put all the symptoms down to to
356
that but I think again all of those things I'm a great believer
357
if it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger kind of thing
358
so I do think that it's actually helped me walk in the shoes of
359
so many women and not only women who are in their 40s
360
and 50s but also that significant cohort of women who have a very early menopause
361
and that might be because it's a natural thing for them
362
but it is also because they've had surgery or chemotherapy
363
or they've had to have their ovaries removed for another reason
364
so I think that has also really impacted the things that I'm really interested in
365
and had an interesting conversation with my husband this morning
366
and he told me that he believes
367
that since I've known I have a BRCA1 that somehow subconsciously I've decided to pack
368
as much in as possible so I'm always doing something
369
and I'm definitely one of those people who finds it hard to say no to anything
370
so I'm I'm the kind of person who packs quite a lot into one day.
371
And all about you where did that name come from?
372
Well as we talked about before my other clinic is called you
373
so I like to always put the person at the center of everything
374
and really this podcast is going to be all about you we're going to be bringing um international
375
australian and local experts in their fields and authors researchers
376
and we're gonna we're gonna just suck all the information out of them get all the facts
377
so that we know what we can take into our life
378
because there's so many things that at the minute are in fashion
379
and are they fact or are they a myth are they worth doing are they actually something
380
that has got no evidence so what you can expect is
381
that we're going to do a deep dive
382
and hopefully by the end of each episode you'll walk away with at least one
383
or two nuggets that you can put in your pocket
384
and take forward with you
385
and what sort of topics will we be hoping to hear from you oh we're gonna like
386
so it because It's all about you and is literally everything that you could possibly embark upon.
387
We're going to be talking to various researchers from Australia who are at the forefront of research in women's mental health.
388
We are going to be talking to a bariatric surgeon about weight loss.
389
We're going to be talking to experts about those weight loss medications that are the do's and don'ts.
390
We're going to be talking to legal experts, relationship experts, addiction experts.
391
We're even going to be talking to people about phone addiction, gaming addiction that may be an issue for you or your child.
392
And you and I are going to just take a deep dive together.
393
You get to listen in in the conversation.
394
And I hopefully get to ask all the questions that you would want to ask if you were in my seat.
395
So if you had the chance and you could tell your 20-year-old self one thing, what would you say?
396
Gosh, one thing?
397
I have many things I'd like to say.
398
I think it would probably be to just be,
399
not overthink anything and not to worry too much about what other people think
400
because you know with time you will evolve and grow and you know you'll find your tribe,
401
you'll find the people who will gravitate towards you and like you for you
402
And even though I think that we all change, there's that core personality of who you are, it's probably constant.
403
But as you mature, you probably become a little bit more relaxed
404
and a little bit more forgiving of other people because you realize that you're not quite perfect yourself.
405
So I think my advice to my 20 year old self would be stop overthinking it.
406
Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks of you just be who you are
407
and just enjoy the ride because it goes really quickly
408
