In this episode of Black Women's Health, Dr. Rahman talks about the presence of uterine fibroids while pregnant. Pregnant with Fibroids and Scared taps into the exact fear, isolation and uncertainty pregnant women actually feel - especially Black women, who often feel dismissed in clinical spaces.Sadly high quality data/research on the relationship between fibroids and pregnancy outcome is limited.Fibroids are incredibly common in Black women. And we have the highest prevalence of fibroids during pregnancy. For too many of us they show up right in the middle of one of the most vulnerable time in our lives: pregnancy. This week I'm talking about what fibroids can mean during pregnancy and the real conversations we should be having with each other and with our healthcare providers.If you've been pregnant with fibroids, are pregnant with fibroids now, or support women who are pregnant, this episode is for you.Take Our Fibroid Survey (2 minutes): "From a health equity perspective, it (fibroids) is one of the least well-understood and understudied entities."

099. Stephanie is on share her spontaneous pregnancy at 43. Stephanie has been with her husband since she was 27 and married him at 39. She always wanted kids, at least one or two, but no more than three. Her husband is eleven years older than her with kids from a previous relationship and was open to having more. Once they decided to try to have a baby, she wasn't pregnant and thought something was wrong. Her husband had kids, so she went to the doctor a year and a half into trying to conceive to get herself checked out. All tests were normal. Eventually she just let it be. At 32 they found a fibroid, so they put her on birth control to shrink it. Luckily it worked and at 34, after getting off of birth control, she was pregnant with her son. When her son turned two, she was ready to try for another baby. At about the same time they were deciding, her husband got custody of his three kids. She instantly became a mama of four boys, a toddler and three preteens. Her blood pressure was high and she thought her family was complete. Find out how her blood pressure medication may have played a role in the surprise of her daughter of 43.

The hosts of The JAWN are joined by Tiffany, friend of the podcast, to discuss experiences of having fibroids and how their lives have been impacted.
In this episode of Black Women's Health Podcast, Dr. Rahman talks about uterine fibroids which are incredibly common, incredibly disruptive and incredibly ignored. Fibroids affect up to 80% of Black women by the age of 50 yr. Often treatment focuses on surgery. But there is a whole area of research - quiet, underfunded, promising- that rarely gets translated to clinical care: vitamin D.* Black women are more likely to be vitamin D deficient*Low vitamin D is linked to a higher risk of developing fibroids*Small clinical trials show that supplementation may slow fibroid growth.This is early research that deserves our attention. Stay tuned for our survey annoucement, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

Eighty percent of us will develop fibroids by age 50–making them an epidemic nobody talks about. Tennis legend Venus Williams, 45, has recently spoken up about the debilitating pain, fatigue, and heavy bleeding she suffered with due to fibroids for literally decades. This week we talk with the doctor who finally helped her find relief, Dr. Taraneh Shirazian, Founder and Director of the Center for Fibroid Care at NYU Langone Health.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue our deep dive into systemic enzymes, building on the foundation laid in episodes #530 & 566. This time, the focus is on practical protocols that combine Fibrenza with key companions and targeted nutrient support for cardiovascular health, immune resilience, and recovery. You'll learn how systemic enzymes modulate the immune system for conditions like autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, why pairing them with other supportive supplements can retrain immune balance and strengthen the gut lining at the root. Jared also shares cardiovascular strategies post-COVID — using Fibrenza with supplements that support nitric oxide, vessel flexibility, and inflammation balance. Finally, the discussion turns to exercise recovery, with protocols designed to accelerate healing, reduce soreness, and protect tendons and ligaments. This episode is about root cause solutions — supporting balance, reducing inflammatory debris, and nourishing the body so it can do what it was designed to do: heal and thrive.Products:Fibrenza Systemic EnzymeKyolic Moducare Daily Immune SupportVital 5 Precision Probiotic Vital SporesNatural Factors L-Glutamine PowderGet Well Stay WellN.O.

On this follow-up to episode #566, Jared takes systemic enzymes one step further by laying out practical protocols for real-life concerns. While the last show explained what systemic enzymes do and why they matter, this episode focuses on how to use them—and how to combine them with other targeted supplements to give the body the tools it need to truly heal rather than just mask symptoms. Jared lays out protocols that address the root causes behind pain and inflammation, and abnormal tissue growth as in scar tissue and adhesions, fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis. If you listened to episode #566 and wanted to know “what do I actually do next?” this show provides the answers with clear, actionable strategies. You'll come away with step-by-step dosing guidelines, companion supplement recommendations, and a roadmap for addressing both symptoms and the root causes behind them.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes back Mike Kramarchek to dive deeper into systemic enzymes and their benefits beyond cardiovascular which they discuss in episode #530. Here, they unpack how enzymes support the body's natural ability to break down unwanted protein-based tissue. From fibroids, masses, cysts, and endometriosis to scar tissue and autoimmune conditions, systemic enzymes are shown to help the body restore balance by breaking down tissue, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and supporting immune modulation.

Sisters in Loss Podcast: Miscarriage, Pregnancy Loss, & Infertility Stories
Have you heard of the term Oligohydramnios? Low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) is a condition in which the amniotic fluid measures lower than expected for a baby's gestational age. Today's guest was preparing to conceive and had a myomectomy to remove her fibroids. Christina Danyo learned she was expecting after her fibroid surgery. During her 20 week anatomy scan she learned that her baby girl's kidneys did not develop and was covered in cysts. Her daughter was diagnosed with Oligohdramnios or low/no amniotic fluid and her lungs also did not develop. Christina was faced with the decision with the diagnosis not compatible with life. In this episode, we discuss the decision she and her husband made to carry to full term, she delivered her baby girl via C-section at 37 weeks, preparation for delivering a baby given a fatal diagnosis, and her time spent honoring her angel during her less than 2 hour life and beyond.

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, “Fibroids, Friend or Foe?” the docs dive into one of the most common—and often confusing—topics in reproductive medicine: uterine fibroids and their impact on fertility. They break down the different types of fibroids—submucosal, intramural, and subserosal—and explain why location is often more important than size when it comes to whether a fibroid should be removed. Fibroids that distort the uterine lining can interfere with embryo implantation by causing inflammation or friction, making pregnancy more difficult. The docs explain the surgical options for fibroid removal, including hysteroscopy (removal through the cervix), laparoscopy, and laparotomy (which address fibroids from outside the uterus). They also discuss fluid management during hysteroscopy to ensure patient safety. Beyond fertility concerns, fibroids may need to be removed if they're causing significant bleeding or pelvic pressure. Finally, they touch on recovery and why patients may need to wait several months after surgery before attempting pregnancy. If fibroids are part of your fertility journey, this episode is a must-listen. This episode was sponsored by ReceptivaDx.
When Oscar winning film star Lupita Nyong'o revealed on Instagram her decade long struggle with uterine fibroids it attracted almost a million likes. The post has sparked a global debate about a health problem that affects millions of women around the world but is rarely talked about. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus, the medical term for a woman's womb. Symptoms can be severe and include heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods and stomach pain. Black and Asian women are more likely to be affected, and we bring together three women who share their experiences of living with the condition. “A woman sitting across from you at work who's smiling and having a conversation may be dying inside,” Sateria tells us. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC OS Conversations, bringing together people from around the world to discuss how major news stories are affecting their lives.
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.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Esmira: Hello, Can low cholesterol be an issue. I eat primarily low fat white fish with lots of vegetables and exercise daily. My cholesterol is below the reference range. I don't eat much fat and am wondering if I should be concerned about the low cholesterol? Thank you Nikolina: Dear Dr. Cabral, do you have any information on how to ged rid of fibroids in the breast. Since I got my second child I have one which does not stop growing. It is growing much slower since I do intermittent fasting, but I was wondering why do I always get them in my breast. Is my body missing something (I used to have them since I am 25 but they all stoped growing at 1 cm, and now they are even smaller. This one has a sensitive hormon receptor the doctor said. I was wondering why do I get fibrocystic breast changes breast changes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine they say fibroadenoma is caused by mucus. Emily: Hi Steven. Thank you so much for all you do! I am curious, I have the slow COMT gene snp. I have been told to avoid supplements such as quercetin and rhodiola as they can effectively slow down COMT even further. I'm interested in the histpro supplement for seasonal allergies but I see quercitin is one of the top ingredients. Do you have any other suggestions for allergy products or could you please shed some light on quercetin for slow com? Also with slow comt, would fasting be contraindicated as adrenaline is released while fasting, which is the opposite of what we want and would further bog down comt? Thanks so much for your input! Best wishes Leora: My 4 year old was diagnosed with enamel hypoplasia. What could have caused this? The dentist said it could have been a result of illness during pregnancy (I had covid and a fever at 36 weeks pregnant). I would like to avoid this with my future pregnancies and children if possible. He received silver caps on his teeth. Are these dangerous for him? Will this lead to heavy metals in his blood stream. Of course, every dentist I asked said no, but I wonder if they learn about this during their studies. He also received large amounts of antibiotics as a child (age 1.5 years to 3 years) due to a misdiagnosis of neutropenia. Could this have impacted his teeth? Cristina: Dr. Cabral, thank you for your generosity and support and for helping so many people looking for answers. My question is related to the effectiveness of Prenuvo brain scan (as a part of the whole body scan) compared to Dr. Amen's brain scan. Do you know if they provide the same valuable information on issues with the brain or are they different? I have a child on the spectrum and was wondering if the Prenuvo scan would help me identify issues that my child might have, such as brain damage as well as whole body issues. Also, is there a treatment plan recommended by Prenuvo after the scan is performed. Thank you!
