Sassy Speculum

In today's Sassysode, the badass nutritionist Denice Bracken & I uncover the horrors of fad diets & the issues surrounding emergency contraception. In Sassysodes we strive to keep this unstructured, fun, and lighthearted while also bringing the listener pertinent info on women's health topics that don't get enough time in the spotlight. Take a listen, laugh along side us, and as always... Stay Sassy!*Disclaimer... I am very aware with how late this episode is. The episode was recorded on time, it was me that was the issue... I currently do not have enough time to edit and produce all the episodes I promised... episodes will now be coming out as time allows! :P Take me baby, or leave me.

In this very first SASSYSODE I bring back previous guest Denice Bracken, MScN to chat about the new guideline from the CDC, where someone finally agreed that IUD insertion hurts & the free bleeding movement! This unstructured conversation is different for Sassy Speculum, and I'm excited to bring it to you once monthly (on off weeks from our normal episode!) Take a listen, laugh along side us, and as always... Stay Sassy!

***TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide is briefly discussed in this episode***In this episode of The Sassy Speculum, we dive deep into the often misunderstood and stigmatized world of depression. We explore the multifaceted nature of this condition, delving into both its psychological and physiological aspects. From the impact of societal expectations and trauma to the influence of neurochemistry and gut health, we discuss how depression can manifest differently in women. Our conversation also touches on the importance of a holistic approach to treatment, including lifestyle changes, nutritional support, and the role of therapy. Whether you're struggling with depression yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to navigate this challenging condition.

Was this supposed to be a comedy special? No. Was it supposed to be on PCOS & nutrition? Yes. Did we go very very awry? Also yes. In this episode you get a fun conversation between two pals about PCOS & nutrition (yes, we did do our job), but also about religion, weight loss, fertility, how messed up the world is, the definition of "woo" (I bet you don't know it), and a lot more! Denice Bracken is an absolutely amazing nutritionist who I am so thrilled to know. She is brilliant, positive, and always knows just what to say. I know you will love her just as much as I do, and when that happens, here's a link to her website to learn more! https://www.wombtowild.com/ you can also find her on Instagram @wombtowild.

Do you frequently get a fast heart beat when you stand up to refill your popcorn bowl? Or, does your vision get dark with dizziness when you get up from bed in the morning? This episode, and those symptoms are all about POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.POTS is a malfunction in our autonomic nervous system which, because this aspect of our nervous system has its fingers in every bodily system, a dysfunction can have wide ranging symptoms outside of just the fast heart beat (tachycardia) and dizziness.Give this episode a listen to learn SO much more about POTS, it's subtypes & what causes it, as well as 2 VERY common conditions that go alongside it, EDS & MCAS.Here's that awesome study I was telling y'all about.

This episode is a part 2 of an all encompassing dive on Naturopathic medicine. This episode is a deeeep dive into all of the therapeutic modalities we have to offer you as a patient. From botanicals to IV therapy to nutrition, I talk about all the things your naturopath might prescribe to you and how they work within the body. I make myself laugh about a million times with the way I choose to speak... I had to edit out about 4 minutes of myself laughing & just trying to calmly breathe!

In this episode I explore and explain the history of naturopathic medicine, what being a naturopath is and isn't, the therapeutic order & how we treat, crazy myths of naturopathics and jokes about Hippocrates' love making.

It has only been speculated that Hitler had syphilis, there is no proof but based on medical professionals investigating his later life, it is believed his symptoms mimicked that of neurosyphilis. Also speculated that a Jewish prostitute was the one who gave it to him... she's the real MVP.
