Advocacy, Next Steps, and Clinical Practice Plans

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson interviews Jennifer Lanoff, a board-certified women's health nurse practitioner and attorney.

They discuss Jennifer's unique journey from law to healthcare, the importance of ethics in medical practice, and the need for informed consent in patient care.

The conversation also touches on the role of hormones in women's health, the impact of social media on healthcare discussions, and the future of hormone therapy. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of empowering patients with knowledge and fostering open communication between healthcare providers and patients.
