    "Symptoms Over Age"

    "Symptoms Over Age"

    In this episode, we speak with the founder of Hormone University and Glow Botanica, Ana Herrera. Ana was diagnosed with Stage Five Endometriosis at a young age and was then inspired to help guide others along in their own journeys. We discuss the stigma that surrounds conditions like Endometriosis, why being knowledgeable about your hormones is so important, and why it's vital for the medical community to acknowledge our symptoms rather than focusing on our age.

    In this episode, we have the creator and amazing mind behind the content on Instagram's Chronically Candid Memes, Kay. We chat about her story dealing with Endometriosis as well as the other illnesses she has been diagnosed with following a doctor's poor decision.
