S01 E09: How You Feel Is Not Normal (And What You Can Do About It) Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

PSA: Just because how you feel is common does not mean it's normal. And we're totally over society telling us otherwise...completely dismissing women for acne, painful/heavy periods, fatigue, bloat, and the list goes on.

So buckle up and join us on today's fiery chat where we challenge dismissive doctors and empower women to take their health into their own hands. We're here to fight for a future where women's symptoms are not accepted as the norm (and just given another prescription).

In this episode, we break down...

Why feeling like crap is not "normal" (and why you deserve to be listened to).
Society's conditioning towards women's health (and why blood labs invalidate how we feel).
Why taking a handful of meds doesn't have to be your only option
Core factors for improving your skin, symptom and overall health through foundational wellness strategies.

Let's break the chains of "normal" and embrace the truth: You deserve to live your best life (symptom-free) without being confined to a limiting box. So grab your headphones and get ready for a transformational ride.

Why your blood labs come back "normal" when you feel anything but.
Our favourite tests to determine the root cause(s) of our clients' acne and the order we recommend doing them.
