“On a scale of 0-10, how would you rate your stress?” This was a question on a health intake form I recently filled out…and I was like “how am I supposed to quantify this?!” Since stress can come from so many different areas of life- work, family, finances, infertility- it can be hard to put […]

Recently there’s been a tweet re-circulating talking about how we have a generation of women who were put on birth control from the age of 14 years old for acne and irregular periods who are now dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, depression and infertility. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this and it’s […]

As I always caution, “there are no […]
