In this episode, I had a chat with Erika who shared her struggles dealing with postpartum health issues, like a painful fibroid and PMS. Erica has been frustrated because her doctors weren't really listening to her concerns. They kept pushing birth control and ibuprofen as a quick fix, ignoring her struggles.  I kept thinking to myself, I've been there too.  Advocating for yourself and finding a healthcare provider who really listens to you is ESSENTIAL. I talked through some practical tools like seed cycling and tinctures to help balance her hormones and reduce inflammation. We also talked about how to approach doctors who aren't being helpful. Here is your permission to be firm about what tests you need and to stand up for yourself if you are being ignored or gaslight.

619. I'm In Pain And Doctors Are Ignoring Me

Where are my married ladies?! Really, this applies to any long term relationship...  My husband and I have been together for over 20 years and our relationship has seen some high highs and low lows. My health journey has been greatly impacted by these seasons and I am sure you can relate.  There is an extreme significance in having a supportive partner when working towards your health goals. And you better believe it applies to the opposite as well, more on that below.  I believe that a supportive partner can make a world of difference in helping a woman reach their healthiest selves. There are significant challenges women face when they have unsupportive partners, as it can create obstacles along the way.  I am talking about things like ortisol/stress issues, time management issues, sabotage and more...  In this episode, I share personal stories and examples from my clinical practice where husbands/partners either actively support their wives' health journey or hinder it. I also dive into how some women manage to push forward with their health goals despite unsupportive partners, while others may find it more difficult. This is your sign to look for potential red flags in relationships that can impede health progress, such as partners who try to use control to keep you from getting healthier.  I want women facing these challenges to know you are not alone and there are a number of ways to seek support.  This is actually something that many of my personal clients navigate during our work together.
