How often do you go to the OB/GYN? Each and every woman's body is unique and it is important that we continue to take care of ourselves by seeking out healthcare and checkups from professionals. 

This week, I revisit my conversation with the incredible Dr. Erica Montes, known as The Modern Mujer. Dr. Montes is a certified board Obstetrician and Gynecologist and a fellow of the American College of OB/GYN. Born and raised in Texas, Dr. Montes received her BA degree in Biology from the University of Texas at Austin. She then went on to receive her medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Centre in San Antonio and completed her residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre, Parkland Hospital, where she was elected one of three chief residents at the largest program in the nation. Dr. Montes has also created a blog, The Modern Mujer, to achieve her goal of creating a bilingual online presence for women just like you to have a place to blossom into a Mujer who is more confident in her skin, knows what to expect from her body, and to transform gracefully over her lifetime.

Dr. Montes’ advice is for all women, no matter what you look like or where you come from. The combination of Dr. Montes’ expertise as an OB/GYN along with her passion to help all of us become confident, healthy Mujeres is a testament to the truth in her advice. Throughout this episode, Dr. Montes talks about her medical background, the ways that women can maintain their health, what she sees to be of concern for women, and of course, her advice for Amigas to handle their shit.
