🎙️ High Tea with Lady V – Peri-sode 2: What the F is Hiding in Your Medicine Cabinet?!

Hello, my beautiful Lady Gardens! In this episode of High Tea with Lady V, we’re diving deep into one of those big ol’ WTF health topics that’s been hiding in plain sight—or more accurately, hiding in your medicine cabinet.

We’re talking about diphenhydramine—a tongue-twister of a drug found in everyday medications like Benadryl, Panadol Night, and Unisom. It’s been used for everything from allergies to sleep to colds… but new research is now linking long-term use to memory loss and dementia. 😳

Tune in as we unpack:

• What diphenhydramine actually does in your body and brain
• Why it might be silently messing with your memory
• The scary dementia stats you need to know
• The difference between first-gen and second-gen antihistamines
• Common Australian products that contain it (yep, some for kids!)
• Safer alternatives and Lady V’s go-to sleepy-time swaps

This episode is your nudge to check your labels, trust your gut, and make informed choices—because knowledge is power, and your brain deserves better.

✨ And as always, expect real talk, zero sugar-coating, and a few cheeky laughs along the way.

💋 Stay tuned for next week’s episode on urinary symptoms—and no, we’re not holding back.
