    Coach Confessional: Medical Gaslighting, Birth Control, Balancing Hormones and More

    On today’s coach confessional, we take a look at the complexities surrounding birth control. Le and I peel back the layers of our own experiences with contraceptives, including the highs and lows of our journey with the Mirena IUD.

We emphasize the transformative power of a knowledgeable health advocate—someone who can bridge the gap between women and the personalized care they deserve.
     
    As we unravel the impact of misinformation, we advocate for a world where every woman's health choice is met with respect and understanding, devoid of undue judgment.

Confession episode

I have to admit I loved this episode. I really enjoyed how honest you both were. I felt like I was sitting on the coach with my girls just talking & joking around. I’m super happy & excited for Le promotion. Definitely well deserved. But please continue to do at least one exercise routine. I do miss you energy so I haven’t been as committed as before. But I have decided I need to do more than just Tuesday workouts. ❤️

We all need a little supplementation!

Another killer podcast from Faster Way. Mia and Le are so darn smart and so reliable as a bank of knowledge for those aiming for nutritional balance. Keep listening people!

Skbuhler ,

Mia is the best!
