What a Gynecologist Thinks Every Woman Should Know

In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I’m joined by Dr. Whitney West, a board-certified gynecologist with over 20 years of experience. We talk about what she wants every woman to understand about gynecologic care — from pap smears and hormones to fibroids, PCOS, and the importance of feeling heard. This conversation is about recognizing symptoms that deserve attention, understanding what’s often missed in women’s health, and learning how to advocate for yourself. In This Episode: What pap smears do — and don’t — tell you Why fibroids and PCOS are often missed Symptoms that shouldn’t be dismissed as “normal” Why regular gynecologic care still matters ---- Connect with Dr. West Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwhitneye Website: https://wwestmdpc.com/ ---- ** The Healthier Planner mentioned in this episode can be found here if you want a simple way to stay organized and intentional with your health next year.
