Let's Talk About Fibroids
from Diabetes Digital Podcast by Food Heaven · host Wendy Lopez, Jessica Jones
We’ve been wanting to cover fibroids for the longest time, and specifically wanted to interview a black woman on this topic since African-American women have a higher prevalence of fibroids, and experience more severe symptoms and unique concerns.

In This Episode We’ll Cover: • Whether or not black women have a higher prevalence of fibroids • Symptoms of fibroids and how to find out if you have them • Ways to manage fibroids via lifestyle changes and/or medical treatment • How to decide when fibroid surgery is appropriate & MORE! 3 Ways You Can Support This Podcast: • Rate • Review • Support our sponsors using our unique ‘HOOKUP’ codes below HOOKUP CODES: • Go to https://branchbasics.com/ and enter code foodheaven for 15% off starter kit • Go to https://oseamalibu.com/foodheaven for $10 off your first purchase of $50+ For our resources and shownotes, visit foodheavenmadeeasy.com/podcast.
