I Wanted Glass Skin: How My Birth Control Gave Me A Blood Clot | Julie Nadupoi | EP 42

Not all leg pain is muscle strain, not all breathlessness is anxiety and not all blood clots announce themselves before they become life-threatening.This week we sit down with Julie Nadupoi, who started taking birth control for something as simple as wanting clearer skin. What followed was a brush with death that nobody warned her about.Her story opens up a conversation about two conditions that are far more common than most people realise: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE).We break down what they are, how one can silently lead to the other, who is most at risk, and the early warning signs that are far too easy to dismiss.Julie brings this conversation to life through her own lived experience because sometimes the most powerful medical education doesn't come from a textbook.Whether you've had a clot, know someone who has, or simply want to understand your body and the risks that come with hormonal contraception, this one could save a life.Listen in 🎧In this episode:~ What DVT and PE actually are and why they're treated as emergencies~ The symptoms people miss until it's serious~ Who is most at risk and how to know if that includes you~ How clots are diagnosed and treated~ When to seek urgent care and what to watch for~ Everyday prevention and awarenessHow To Reach Us: 📧 Email: [email protected] 📱 Instagram & TikTok: @adoseofhealththepodcastConnect with Julie:📱 Instagram & TikTok: @julienadupoiProduction by: @artlight_studios⚠️ This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
