WCW Episode 7: How Do You Sift Through All the Misinformation Around PCOS and Endometriosis?

After getting an endometriosis and PCOS diagnosis, Taylor Devalk did what many of us do after getting a medical diagnosis: she took the internet. In the final installment of the podcast, we hear from White Coat Warrior Taylor about how much misinformation exists when it comes to endometriosis and PCOS, how they are connected, and why it’s so important for patients to look beyond single sources for medical advice.

About White Coat Warriors:

Have you ever felt ignored or dismissed by a healthcare professional even though you knew something was wrong? Have you ever had to take healthcare decisions into your own hands? Did you decide to trust your gut instead of taking your doctor at their word?

Then you just might be a White Coat Warrior.
