The conversation gets real and honest as she dives into her struggles with misdiagnoses, weight management, and fertility, plus the emotional rollercoaster of navigating pregnancy after years of medical mystery. Expect authentic stories, practical insights for women facing similar challenges, and a candid discussion about how metabolic health, hormones, and chronic conditions intersect with weight loss and motherhood.
