Heidi’s Lane with Heidi Powell Ep. 68 Dr. Radhika Sharma is Back!! Diving Deep into Female Hormones, PCOS, and Weight Gain During Menopause | Pt. 2
I'm so excited to have Dr. Radhika Sharma back with us for another deep, vulnerable, and real conversation, the kind we all need but rarely have. Dr. Sharma is an Ob/Gyn, certified wellness coach, and co-host of the Double Scrub podcast. In this episode, we go there, from vaginas and hormones to PCOS, fibroids, menopause, and all the questions we’re too scared or ashamed to ask. Nothing is off-limits. This is about truth, empowerment, and finally getting answers with someone who truly gets it. Get ready to feel seen, supported, and a whole lot less alone.
