Ep 54: No Shame, Just Science: Talking Bodies, Blushing Optional

 Episode summary:

Today Jen is letting us into the more personal self care she's been working while navigating some minor, but impactful health issues. It's too common for people to avoid talking about things because they're embarrassing or they think they're the only one experiencing it, so today Jen is opening up in the hopes of connecting with listeners that may be having similar experiences. 

To honor American heart month, Jen talks through her journey to better heart health. As someone with a family history of heart disease who lives a pretty heart healthy lifestyle, it's been a struggle for Jen to reconcile less-than-ideal lab numbers and the need for treatment. She also opens up about her lifelong struggle with incontinence, how it has impacted her life, and what steps she's taking now to change the trajectory of her health.

For anyone experiencing similar issues or who wants to learn more about Jen's experience navigating these issues, please don't hesitate to reach out directly. Jen's inbox is always open.
