About This Blog

My interest in Women’s Health developed during adolescence about the time of “the talk” with my mother. I was pretty overwhelmed by the idea of puberty and disappointed that in the process I didn’t become the Barbie that I idolized. I especially disliked the traumatic experience of my first Pap smear. I was further bothered by the lack of normalcy my skin or cycles ever attained. It took many visits to multiple doctors for me to learn of my personal hormonal issues and a few more years to learn to appreciate the woman I had become.
