Have you ever told a little white lie to your doctor about your weight, your symptoms, or how you're truly feeling? If so, you're not alone—and this episode is for you.

Join hosts Ami and Sami as they dive deep into the reasons why many women find themselves withholding information or stretching the truth during medical appointments. Drawing from personal experiences, they share moments when they've been less than honest with their doctors and explore what motivated those choices. Was it fear of judgment, past experiences of not being believed, or simply the pressure to "have it all together"?

We'll also be joined by our special guest, Myrra Windau, a seasoned Physician Assistant, who provides great insight from the other side of the exam room. She sheds light on how healthcare providers perceive patient honesty, the importance of open communication, and the challenges they face when patients aren't fully transparent.
