When you receive an unexpected diagnosis, your first thought should be, “What are my options, and what could happen?” In this episode, Functional Health Coach Christine Garvin tells us about her experiences with fibroids, surgery, and unexpected complications that were so much worse that she could have imagined. We talk more about the dangers inherent in laparoscopic procedures and what other options women have available to take care of their health.


You will also hear:

  • Why “informed consent” is key in any health decisions
  • What you should do if you just don’t feel right after a procedure
  • How setting personal and emotional boundaries in your life can affect your hormones and overall health
  • How “fixing” your health goes beyond what medications or supplements you take and how to work on fixing the trauma impacting your whole body
  • And so much more!
