Responding to Life: Talking Health, Fertility and Parenthood

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Karen Tang, a board-certified gynecologist, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and the creator behind the popular @KarenTangMD on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Through her educational and engaging content, Dr. Tang has built a global platform to spread essential information about reproductive and sexual health.

In this episode, we celebrate the release of her new book, IT'S NOT HYSTERIA: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (BUT WERE NEVER TOLD). With her book, Dr. Tang aims to dispel myths surrounding women's health, tackling topics like menstrual issues, pelvic pain, and menopause. Her mission is clear: women should not suffer in silence, and there are actionable steps to take for better care.

In this episode, Dr. Tang discusses:

Women don't have to just 'deal with' reproductive health issues; there are treatments and resources available to help
Advocating for oneself is crucial in reproductive health care; ask questions, seek second opinions, and find a doctor who listens and includes you in the decision-making process
Women have the power to make a difference in their own health and the health of their communities; use your voice and influence to educate and advocate for change

In addition to being a recognized expert featured by NBC News, The Washington Post, NPR, and more, Dr. Tang is also a long-time friend of mine. Join us as we dive into her book, discuss the importance of self-advocacy in health care, and share practical tips on how to empower yourself and your community when it comes to reproductive health.
