80% of women will develop fibroids.

So why are we still acting like this is rare?

The real problem isn’t the condition—
it’s the conversation around it.

For decades, women have been told:
“watch and wait”
“it’s part of aging”

Meanwhile… options exist.

Better treatments.
Less invasive procedures.
Real solutions.

But too many women never hear about them.

That’s not a medicine problem.
That’s an information problem.

And you deserve better. 🧡

If you’re tired of being told to just “deal with it”…

If you want to know what being dismissed feels like…
Even doctors experience it.

Years of being told:�“You’re fine.”�“Just wait.”

When you know something isn’t right.
And then finally — someone listens.
Not just to your labs.�But to you.

That’s what real medicine looks like. 🧡

Because the truth is—�too many women are being told everything is “normal”�when their body is telling a different story.

You deserve a doctor who listens before the labs do.

Have you ever been dismissed by a doctor? 👇

If you’ve ever been told “this is just your period”… keep reading.

You are not overreacting.
And you are not out of options.

The goal is not just to “treat fibroids.”
It’s to protect your energy, your quality of life, and your ability to make informed decisions about your body.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer—and there shouldn’t be.
The right plan is the one that aligns with your goals.

Most women don’t realize how many options they have until much later.
Let’s change that.

If you’re a Black woman with fibroids, this could change how you advocate for yourself.

It’s not.

The pain.
The bleeding.
The exhaustion.

This video reflects on a personal journey that bridges space science and medicine.

From early training at NASA to a career in gynecologic surgery, the intersection between these two fields raises an important question: how can advances in space research inform our understanding of conditions like fibroids?

Fibroids affect a significant portion of the population, yet research and innovation in this area remain limited.

As we continue to expand our understanding of human physiology in extreme environments such as microgravity, there may be untapped opportunities to apply these insights to women’s health.

This is a call to think bigger, collaborate across disciplines, and push the boundaries of what we study — and why.

Would you sit in a 170° mud bath… for “relaxation”? 👀

I finally tried it — and I had mixed feelings going in.

At first?
Hot. Intense. Slightly terrifying 😅
But once I settled in, something shifted.

The warmth, the minerals, the stillness… it actually forced my body to slow down in a way I didn’t realize I needed.

By the end?
Completely relaxed.

But here’s the part no one talks about — that level of heat can actually lower your blood pressure, which I definitely felt (hello lightheaded moment 😅).

So yes… relaxing.
But also an experience. 🧡

Would I do it again? Probably.
Would you try it?

If no one explained this to Venus Williams…
they probably didn’t explain it to you either.

Even elite athletes can be stopped in their tracks by fibroids.
Not just “heavy periods.”�Not just “bloating.”

But pain so intense it makes you double over.�Nausea.�Symptoms that feel like something is seriously wrong.

Here’s what could actually be happening inside your body:
• Your uterus contracting like labor
• A fibroid losing blood supply (degeneration)
• A fibroid twisting on itself
• Pressure on nerves and organs
• Heavy bleeding triggering nausea

This is not “just part of being a woman.”
This is a real medical condition. 🧡
And if you’ve ever been told to just push through it…�you deserve better answers.

If you’re confused about your symptoms, you’re not alone.

If your fibroid pain makes you double over… this is not “normal.”

Not all fibroid pain is the same.

There’s a specific type called fibroid degeneration — and it’s one of the most intense pains I see.

It happens when a fibroid loses its blood supply and starts to break down, releasing inflammatory chemicals that can cause:
• Sudden, sharp, “out of nowhere” pain
• Pain so severe it stops you in your tracks
• Episodes that feel completely different from your usual symptoms

This can happen during pregnancy…
but also outside of it.

If your pain feels different, stronger, or more intense than usual — listen to your body.
You’re not being dramatic.

That level of pain is real. 🧡
And you deserve a plan that goes beyond just managing the pain every time it happens.

Trying to get pregnant… but all your tests are “normal”?

This might be why.

There’s something called silent endometriosis — where you have no symptoms, but the disease is still there.

No pain.
No warning signs.
Just unexplained infertility.

I recently treated a patient exactly like this.
Everything looked normal… until we went in surgically and found endometriosis.

Once removed, it can change the entire trajectory of someone’s fertility journey.

If you’ve had failed transfers or unexplained infertility, this is something to consider.

You’re not crazy.
And you’re not out of options. 🧡

Should you be taking hormone therapy? 🤔

This is one of the most important questions women ask me during menopause consults.

Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) isn’t about “replacing everything.” It’s about carefully tailored estrogen—sometimes progesterone, and in select cases testosterone—to help ease symptoms like:
• Hot flashes & night sweats
• Brain fog & fatigue
• Mood changes
• Vaginal dryness & painful in*******se
• Urinary symptoms
• Bone loss risk

If your quality of life is suffering, hormone therapy may be worth discussing.

It’s not for everyone. Certain medical histories require caution—like blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, active heart disease, or uncontrolled chronic conditions. But medicine is nuanced. Individual risk matters more than internet headlines.

If you’re waking up drenched in sweat, struggling to focus at work, or feeling unlike yourself, you’re not being dramatic.

You deserve to feel well in this season of life.

“If you’re young, it’s probably nothing.” 🫣

That’s what many patients hear when they go to the doctor with stomach pain or bloating. But sometimes, it’s not nothing.

A 20-year-old woman recently went to the ER for recurring abdominal cramps. At first, it was dismissed as something gynecologic — possibly an ovarian cyst. But when her symptoms worsened, further testing revealed something unexpected: stage 2 colon cancer.

Thankfully, she received treatment and is now cancer-free.

But her story highlights something important: colon cancer is rising in young adults.

Symptoms can easily be mistaken for other conditions like IBS, food sensitivities, PMS, or ovarian cysts because all these organs live close together.

Some warning signs to watch for include:
• Persistent abdominal pain or cramping
• Blood in your stool
• Unexplained weight loss
• Feeling like you can’t fully empty your bowels
• Constant bloating that doesn’t go away

Many of these symptoms overlap with gynecologic issues — which is why it’s so important to keep asking questions if something doesn’t feel right.

You know your body best.
If something feels off, keep advocating for yourself. 🧡
