The top three things I hear over and over again from patients who come to see me  after already seeing a  provider for their women's health concerns?  -I didn’t feel heard. -I didn’t get my question answered. -I’m not even sure what any of this means!   And with that, women do what any person living in an age of technology would do: they turn to the internet looking for a little reassurance and an explanation they can understand. I hear you. The problem with this?  We’re currently in a battle of misinformation.   With just a few simple clicks on your phone or laptop, you can find whatever answer looks good or makes you feel great.  But is the answer legit, backed by science?  Is it information that you can trust? That’s where I come in.  I’m Candice Walker.  I’m a board-certified obstetrician gynecologist and I’ve been practicing for almost 20 years.  I’m a wife, a mom to two beautiful girls, and I’m passionate about women’s health.  Do you want to know one of my favorite parts of what I do?  It’s having a one on one conversation with my patient, breaking down the issue at hand, listening to her questions and concerns, and hopefully having her leave with the answers she’s looking for AND with a little piece of mind. If I can equip just one woman with knowledge about her body and how to care for it best, it’s a win!  So throw on some fuzzy socks, grab a snack, and sit back as I break down some of the most common health topics for women in their 30's and beyond.  I’m sure the next few minutes will give someone the answer she needs—simplified.  Let’s go!  Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/warmy-blues License code: V5JXSBP9Y3UJQD3M Click below to find out when the next episode drops!
