Have you been told your painful, heavy periods are "normal"? Have you felt dismissed when trying to get real answers about fibroids or endometriosis?

In this raw and eye-opening episode, Dr. Maya sits down with Dr. Katashia—pharmacist, integrative health practitioner, and founder of Celebrate Health & Wellness—to share her deeply personal journey through fibroids, endometriosis, infertility, and healing.
