Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #288! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I interview Stephanie Berman, founder of the AZIZA Project, on her experience with gynecologic pain, gaslighting in this arena in the medical space, and her foundation that aims to connect women with proper specialists on the subject.  For more than 13 years Stephanie suffered with multiple gynecologic pain generators. Eleven medical practitioners, from naturopaths, general practitioners, OB/GYNs, dermatologists, and  physical therapists were unable to provide answers, much less relief. That all changed when she met Dr. Corey Babb at the Haven Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Not only is she feeling better than she has in years, but more importantly, she has hope. Hope for a full and rewarding life without pain. It is estimated that 32% of women experience gynecologic pain. That's why she started The AZIZA Project. She wants to offer other women the same hope by connecting them with medical professionals and funding their travel and procedure expenses.

Send us a textOn this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole explore effective ways to manage pain during intrauterine device (IUD) insertions. They also address a broader issue: how women's pain is often neglected during gynecologic procedures, and the failure of physicians to adequately seek consent. They are joined by Dr. Kristina Arion, an obstetrician and gynecologist at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and Dr. Nadia Von Benzon, a lecturer and social geographer at Lancaster University.The episode begins with Dr. Arion discussing the CMAJ article she co-authored, which outlines strategies for better management of pain during IUD insertions. She explains that the IUD is recommended as the first-line therapy for birth control and period management by the Canadian Pediatric Society and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. Dr. Arion highlights how patient anxiety, lack of sedation options, and inconsistent practices contribute to unnecessary pain.Her key advice to doctors: listen to patients, explain each step of the procedure, and provide adequate pain management options.Dr. Von Benzon broadens the discussion beyond IUD pain management to the neglect of women's pain and autonomy during other gynecologic and obstetrical procedures. Her research article "My doctor just called me a good girl, and I died a bit inside: From everyday misogyny to obstetric violence in UK fertility and maternity services," illustrates how women's pain is frequently dismissed and their consent overlooked. She discusses the long-term impact of these practices, with some women opting out of future pregnancies due to trauma. She advises healthcare professionals to clearly explain procedures, seek consent, and prioritize patient comfort and autonomy.Dr. Omole and Dr. Bigham reflect on how patriarchal structures and time constraints within healthcare systems often lead to the failure to prioritize women's pain and autonomy. The episode closes with a powerful call for healthcare providers to take the time to listen to their patients, ask questions, and ensure that consent and comfort are prioritized at every stage of care.For more information from our sponsor, go to Rainbow Health Ontario.Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Podcast Description: In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Mueller and Manning-Geist to discuss molecular classification in ovarian preservation for uterine cancer. Jenny Mueller MD is a gynecologic oncologist and an associate attending in the department of surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.  She leads the endometrial cancer research team at MSKCC with an emphasis on prospective, translational and collaborative efforts within and across institutions. Beryl Manning-Geist is a Gynecologic surgery fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and will be joining Emory University Division of Gynecologic Oncology in 2024 as an assistant professor. Her research focuses on how to leverage the molecular underpinnings of gynecologic cancers for tailored treatment. Highlights: -Patients with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient or copy number-high/TP53abnormal endometrial cancer were at increased risk of concurrent ovarian disease. -The presence of lymphovascular space invasion and positive cytology were also associated with an increased risk of concurrent ovarian disease. -Integrating molecular tumor profiling with pathologic characteristics of disease may help to better risk stratify pre-menopausal patients with endometrial cancer for ovarian preservation.

Click here to send me your Q's, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) Okay, wait what!? Is it actually possible to experience an empowered pelvic exam?If you've ever laid on an exam table with your feet in stirrups awaiting a cold speculum from a practitioner who's giving dozens of pelvic exams each day, you'd probably answer, 'hell no.' Almost every part of a gynecologic exam feels awkward to most of us. Pants off, feet in stirrups (are we riding a horse?), some veritable stranger examining one of the most intimate places in our entire body -- often without gentleness or really much communication at all, and sometimes entirely distracted. I mean, who can blame them. They learned that way.But that doesn't mean it's right. That doesn't mean we have to just accept the status quo. There are ways to take back your power. I'm actually currently training with Tami Lynn Kent (author of Wild Feminine) and she mentioned that when she prepares herself for a gyn exam, she prepares herself with self-care and acknowledgement of what will be happening, that it may not feel gentle, and that if it is uncomfortable (which btw it doesn't HAVE to be), then just to allow her body to relax into it as much as possible knowing this is a beneficial thing for her health.So that's one option for sure, is to prepare our tissues with our own personal tender loving care and acknowledgement. But another option is what this week's guest fertility coach Françoise Molenaar shares about, which is to actually ASK for what you want. It takes courage for sure, because so many of us defer to the power-over structure especially in doctor's offices. You can actually ask to insert the speculum yourself, or even to play music(!), or ask for gentleness, or say you'd like to take some breaths to relax first. You can take the speculum back. It's your body. No matter how many degrees or letters or years of study or practice your provider has. YOU are the one whose body they are touching and you can ask for what you want or need. They are serving you. If you want to hear about how Françoise found her way to empowered gynecologic exams and how this was a key to her own personal fertility journey, this week's episode is perfect for you. Listen to learn:how advising governments in conflict zones led to Françoise's fertility journeywhy it's important to cultivate patience and nourishment while TTCwhat an empowered gynecologic exam could look likehow asking for what she wanted led to pregnancy after 10 years of TTCthe results of Françoise's 1500-response survey on pelvic exam discomfortadditional keys to supporting the fertility journey Resources:Today's shownotes: Get links to the articles and Françoise's workEpisode 10: Traditional womb healing practices w Sondra HamiltonEpisode 61: How to heal embodied womb trauma w Dr Emily WilsonEpisode 119: Clearing, tending, releasing womb trauma w Dr Sarah WylieFREE guided Womb connection and clearing meditationIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode of "Casa de Confidence," host Julie interviews Stephanie, the founder of the Aziza Project. Stephanie shares her long struggle with gynecologic pain, which went undiagnosed by numerous medical practitioners until she met Dr. Corey Babb at the Haven Center. Stephanie's conditions included endometriosis, adenomyosis, and endosalpingiosis, which caused significant pain and affected her life and ability to work. After successful treatment, she founded the Aziza Project to provide other women with access to quality medical care, funding for travel and procedures, and support. They discuss the project's goals, including raising $20,000 for 2024 to sponsor treatments for conditions like vaginismus and to support women's mental and physical health. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of advocating for one's health and the need for more gynecological specialists. The Aziza Project seeks donations and business sponsorships to help more patients and plans to offer scholarships for medical students specializing in complex gynecological care.Understanding Gynecologic ConditionsDuring our conversation, Stephanie educated us on the various conditions she faced, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, and endosalpingiosis. Each condition brought its own set of challenges and pain, impacting her ability to contribute to her family's finances and overall quality of life.The Path to Diagnosis and TreatmentStephanie's path to diagnosis was fraught with missteps and frustration. It wasn't until she found an endometriosis excision specialist that she began to see a light at the end of the tunnel. The specialist's approach to excising endometriosis by the roots offered her an 80% chance of non-recurrence, a significant improvement over previous treatments.The Aziza Project's Vision and ImpactThe Aziza Project isn't just about financial assistance; it's about creating a ripple effect of education, advocacy, and support. Stephanie envisions a future where every woman has access to a vaginal specialist within a reasonable distance, where no one has to travel across the country for proper care.A Call to Action: How You Can HelpDonations and SponsorshipsIf you're moved by Stephanie's mission and want to contribute, the Aziza Project's website features a donate button for easy contributions.

For a transgender man or nonbinary people whose sex assigned at birth was female, gynecologic care can be a difficult experience. Many avoid healthcare visits out of fear of being misgendered or insurance denials. Additionally, pelvic exams can trigger their dysphoria. Because many transgender men still have a cervix and uterus, care provided by a gynecologist is important for overall health.
