Summary

Listen up, because today’s episode is going to be all about hormones and how to take ownership of your own health (a topic on the minds of just a few of us moms!). I am here with Dr. Marra Francis, an OB-GYN who focuses on helping women with genetic risk for certain cancers. Dr. Marra also serves as the Executive Medical Director for EverlyWell, a company we will talk about in depth today.

In a nutshell, her mission is to educate enough physicians so that no more women have to suffer a fate with terminal cancer that could have been prevented simply by taking an accurate family history, and ordering the correct diagnostic test.

Episode Highlights With Dr. Marra of EverlyWell

why Dr. Marra chose women’s health as her passion and focus
her tips on running a house with six kids underfoot (I get it!)
the ups and downs of women’s hormones (and why men don’t struggle like we do)
what you can learn by tracking your cycle every month, and apps that help
how EverlyWell helps connect patients to the best laboratory testing for them
changes in the health space that are making it easier to take control of your health
and more!
