Anne shares the story behind her work, including what it was like growing up between Pakistan and Canada with almost no menstrual health education, and how that experience shaped her commitment to accessible, evidence-informed care.Jordan and Anne explore what it means to practice in the gray zones of medicine: how to support patients when there isn’t a definitive answer, why clinicians often struggle with uncertainty more than their patients do, and how nuance can actually strengthen the therapeutic relationship.
