  • What Happens When The IUD Goes Wrong?
    May 12 2024

    Is it you or my IUD that's the problem?


    Join us for Part 2 of our conversation, where we dive into key symptoms and problematic, persistent issues that can stem from the placement (and/or removal) of an IUD.


    We'll discuss details behind the "IUD Crash," what hormonal disruption might look like for both Copper and hormone-containing IUDs, and key warning signs to watch out for ~6-8 weeks (and beyond) following your appointment.


    We'll also share what to advocate for with your physician to ensure the proper level of support when determining which contraceptive works best for you.


    We're closing out this chapter and headed toward a brand new season THIS AUGUST. Give us a follow, subscribe, tell your friends-- You don't want to miss!


    Until, then....

  • So You Want An IUD? What To Know & Ask Before Your Doctor's Appt
    May 3 2024

    Here's the truth- IUD's are an amazing invention.


    They are highly effective in reducing your risk for an unplanned pregnancy, while still preserving fertility for when (if) you do plan to get pregnant.


    So what's the catch? Well....it's the human body.


    In this bonus episode from the Season 2 Vault, join us for a candid conversation about the pros and cons of this top contraceptive method, the risks vs. rewards when it comes to choosing your IUD "type," and what to know and ask before heading blindly into appointment day.


    Plus, there's a joint parody ft. Ja Rule as an IUD. Yep, we we went there.

  • Your Mom Has HPV
    May 19 2023

    The time has arrived.

    Katie and Dr. Pero are BACK for SEASON 2 to deliver you more real and relevant topics than ever before.

    This time, it's about your mom and the prevalent disease she's likely carried with her after a routine annual. The HPV. It's the papsmear surprise you never asked for and one of the top viruses led with misinformation and miscounseling by providers. Good news, you're not alone.

    • 42-50% of the adult population (roughly HALF of all adults) at some point in their lifetime will have an HPV infection.
    • 75% of all sexually active women will have HPV in their lifetime.
    • Only 1 podcast is covering the real data behind this prevalent disease and providing clear, actionable ways to regain control over your health

    Tune in to discover why HPV is not just a young person's disease, the importance of education and action to prevent progression to cervical (or head and neck) cancer, and how small changes to your diet and lifestyle can create dramatic results, allowing you to clear your diagnosis naturally and restore health to body and mind.
