Far too often we hear the same story, a woman gets diagnosed with fibroids and is told her only option is a full hysterectomy. In this interview, Kit Maloney and Rachel Rose talk with Miara Pack, who shares her journey of saying no to the white coat and bravely charting her own course. Miara opens up about her experience with painful cycles and dismissive doctors and her choice to pursue natural healing: yoni steaming, breathwork, and lifestyle changes alongside western medical care. A cornerstone of her healing was her connection with Kit, the founder of Kitara, whose compassionate presence was a consistent source of strength, wisdom, and love. We're honored to share this conversation of healing, self-empowerment, and the sacred bond between women supporting each other to reconnect to their wombs and inner wisdom. Visit www.kitaralove.com for intentionally designed and expertly crafted products for safe and easy yoni steaming at home.  Learn more about yoni steaming and fibroids.

Guest: Tamatha Fenster, M.D., M.S. Tamatha Fenster, M.D., M.S., gynecologic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and director of innovation and technology at The Weill Cornell Medicine Fibroid and Adenomyosis Center, explains how her team has developed a new 3D MRI technology to enhance patient outcomes in fibroid surgery. The novel software, called smartHER MRI, renders a 3D image of a patient's uterus to more accurately identify fibroids and their precise location, which can be used for both laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures. In a pilot study analyzing smartHER MRI vs. 2D imaging, results demonstrated that surgeons who relied on traditional imaging had residual fibroids at the 6-month follow-up, while surgeons who used smartHER MRI had no residual fibroids with their patients. © 2025 NewYork-Presbyterian

Click here to send me a quick message :) I get asked a lot about herbal approaches to fibroid care, and there is actually a lot that's possible! But I also haven't personally been through the journey myself, so I'm excited to bring Kate Douglas, founder and curator of Earth Body, onto the podcast to share about her own embodied experience over the past couple years.She shares about how she even knew she had fibroids in the first place (hint: cycle tracking was a KEY to her awareness), and the very integrative approach she's explored to both reduce the size of (and totally clear one of) her fibroids.Her path has incorporated everything from nutrition to lifestyle to bodywork to pelvic steaming and more.Even if you don't have fibroids, or don't *think* you do, everything Kate shares is also foundational for hormonal wellness overall, and especially useful for any estrogen-dominant conditions, too.I hope you enjoy Kate's inspiring story. Resources:Today's shownotes: Check out Kate's offerings and fibroid health classGrab the recording of my Uterine Tonics class at Earth BodyFree guide: Track your cycle with FAM (get started now)If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.   Uterine fibroids are a very common concern for women who are still menstruating.  They are the cause of extreme and chronic pain, heavy bleeding and there aren't great treatment options available.  Today I welcome Dr Suzanne LeBlang to the show to discuss a novel therapy for treatment of fibroids - focused ultrasound.   I had never heard about this treatment until Dr. LeBlang shared her knowledge.  This conversation highlights how the non-invasive technique can treat uterine fibroids using thermal ablation, without the need for incisions or injections.  This is also available for many other health concerns such as thyroid nodules,  Parkinson's disease, breast tumours, tremors and others.  It has been FDA approved since 2004.  Overall, this episode underscores the importance of non-invasive treatment options for women's health concerns, with focused ultrasound emerging as a promising alternative for various conditions. Dr. LeBlang is the Director of Clinical Relationships at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUS) and was trained as a neuroradiologist.  You can find out more about this treatment option at fusfoundation.org or on Instagram here.     Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

Larke is a midwife and she talks about her primal desire to experience labour and birth. But as she reiterates, there is so much about pregnancy and birth that is beyond our control. She was only 4 weeks pregnant when a scan revealed a significant fibroid at the back of her cervix which dictated her mode of delivery so from very early on she was grieving the loss of the vaginal birth she may never have. Her 20 week scan revealed her baby had a cleft palate and she is transparent with her rollercoaster of emotions following the diagnosis, normalising the confronting thoughts that come up in challenging times. With the support of her beloved midwife and obstetrician, Larke had an empowering maternal assisted caesarean and within minutes of Dolly being born it was confirmed that her palate was intact which meant she could breastfeed. --------- If you're considering The Birth Class, now is the time to buy.It just got bigger and better thanks to new content that enhances your birth education and preparation experience, including:  A cheat sheet for your birth partner. This simple outline takes your support person through early and active labour - what to expect, how to support and what to say when challenges arise Images of birth positions - the ideal addition for visual learners  3 meditations to release tension, foster trust and navigate a change of plans An illustrated guide to antenatal expressing - everything you need to know about collecting and storing colostrum For a limited time only, get 20% off with the code: ABS2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brenda Chuinkam is a fashion blogger, hails from Gabon but was brought up in the US and spent her formative years in Cameroon. As the daughter of a diplomat, she enjoyed certain privileges but also faced the pressure of excelling academically due to her family's expectations. Her upbringing in strict boarding schools stifled her naturally outgoing and vibrant nature, leading her to adopt introverted behaviors and struggle with insecurities. Coping with these emotions, she turned to impulsive eating, resulting in obesity that affected her self-esteem. Her life took a positive turn when she relocated to Canada. This shift allowed her to freely express herself and discover her own sense of fashion in a society that often judges by appearances. She learned the significance of establishing healthy relationship boundaries and overcoming a negative self-perception. In a courageous revelation, she discussed her journey through a Fibroid myomectomy procedure, made bearable by the unwavering support of her mother. Along the way, she gained insights into financial literacy, generating income through her fashion blog.

July marks Fibroid Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness for uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths of the uterus that impact an estimated 26 million women nationwide. "Pregnancy in and of itself, after, or in spite of infertility is quite the double-edged sword; it seems too precious to believe in any regard. No two journeys are the same. Infertility will always be part of my story, and one that I will always speak candidly about in the hopes of connecting with other prospective parents.

It only takes a quick google search to discover some pretty significant statistics related to uterine fibroids. Stats like….most women will develop them at some point in their lives; over 25 million if you'd like to hear a number…with about 15 million of those whose everyday lives are impacted with severe symptoms. About. 15 million maybe more because, let's face it, for some women, there may not even be a diagnosis yet. Stats like Black women develop fibroids at higher rates.  We've dedicated this entire month of July, which is Fibroid Awareness Month, to exploring and amplifying stories of women whose lived experiences with fibroids are sure to educate and inspire. I am one of those women. I'm so looking forward to sharing this space with a few special sisters in order to provide even more visibility to a women's health topic that absolutely requires more attention, research, and education.  We can't wait for you to hear these stories!
