Coping with Infertility and Loss Webinar

I had the privilege of creating and recording a webinar on Coping with Infertility and Loss for my job at CuraLinc Healthcare. There are so many individuals who are quietly struggling and feel alone; that no one understands. While no journey is the same, know that you are not alone and there is help, comfort, and support for you.
Happy early Mother's Day, to all parents in heart, mind, and spirit.

"Bearded Lady Syndrome" - Dreaded Hirusutism: what is it and what can you do about it?

Image
 Hirsutism is some nasty stuff. The basic definition of hirsutism is “an abnormal growth of hair on a person’s face and body, especially on a woman,” but it is so much more than that. It is typically an excessive growth of coarse or dark hair in a male-like pattern, on the face (like a mustache or beard), chest, arms, and back. While not on the level of the “bearded lady,” for most women, it can still be a massive pain in the neck, and you can feel uncomfortable. Having hirsutism not only influences your appearance, but it takes much more time to get ready in the morning, since you may have to practically shave your entire body.

Hirsutism Causes: Hirsutism can be caused by various things, like Pol...

Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month

  October is Pregnancy And Infant Loss Awareness Month. While I personally haven't lost a child yet, I have many friends that have suffered devastating losses. Let's work on being a little kinder, more compassionate, more understanding. We never know what other people are going through. Let's not be afraid to share a smile, a hug, a thoughtful text, or a kind word. You never know what a difference it can make.                                                   #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #1in4 #miscarriage #YouAreNotAlone #infertilityawareness #miscarriagesurvivor #warriorwomen

Lean PCOS?

  Did you know there’s regular PCOS and then there’s lean PCOS? When most people think of PCOS, they typically think of the stereotype and outward signs of being overweight, obesity, acne, and facial hair. However, PCOS doesn’t always need to include the weight factor. The outward signs may not be there with lean PCOS, but the inner symptoms are still wreaking havoc on your body. You can be super skinny and still struggle with the rest of the issues that come along with PCOS, like irregular periods, excruciating cramps, blood sugar issues, fertility problems, elevated testosterone levels, acne, and excess hair everywhere, or even hair loss. The point is, just because you may not be checking off every box for a health problem diagnosis, there may still be underlying issues. I wish I had gone in to get things checked out when I was a teenager, instead of just sweeping things under the rug and telling myself that being exhausted, having super painful periods, and never able to lose a...
