Your doctor is supposed to listen to you regardless of what you say - but most women have a story about a doctor’s visit that left them feeling dismissed and invisible. This episode kicks off a new series of conversations exploring the doctor-patient relationship, and how we as patients can improve it, and get the care and attention we deserve. Endocrinologist Dr. Gillian Goddard, author of The Hormone Loop: An Empowering Guide to Restoring Hormonal Harmony, from Puberty to Menopause, breaks down why patients and doctors often speak past each other, even when both want the same thing. She shares how to set a realistic goal before your appointment, how to push back, and what to do with everything you learned from Dr. Google at 3am.
