Fibroid Awareness: The Deep Dive

🎙️ It's International Fibroid Awareness Month, and this is the deep-dive episode I've been promising for ages. Between 70–80% of women will develop at least one fibroid by 50, yet most women only find out what a fibroid actually is when a doctor tells them they have one.

🧬 We break down what a fibroid actually is, why every fibroid in your uterus is genetically distinct, and the real pathophysiology. Spoiler: it's not estrogen dominance.

📊 The disparity story that doesn't get enough airtime: Black women are diagnosed at higher rates, younger, with larger and more numerous fibroids. We discuss how environmental factors and racism play a big factor in this.

🩺 We cover location vs. size (why a 1cm fibroid can be debilitating and a 10cm one silent), the FIGO classification system, modifiable vs. non-modifiable risk factors, and a full evidence-graded rundown of every fibroid intervention floating around wellness spaces (i.e., castor oil packs, seed cycling, fibroid teas, DIM, Vitex, and more.)

🤰 Plus what fibroids actually mean for fertility and pregnancy, and what's genuinely worth doing if you're trying to conceive with one.
