Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Dr. Jen Gunter is an OBGYN with 30+ years of experience as a vulvar and vaginal diseases expert. She joins us today to debunk menstruation myths!
Mary asks Dr. Jen questions like...
- is menstruating the body’s way of detoxing?
- what causes menstrual cramps and period poops?
- why/ how is “alternative medicine” harmful?
- do chiropractors really work?
- what’s the purpose and process of menstruating?
Remember: don’t believe baseless claims you see on the internet!
