Ep 307: Informed Consent Isn’t a Form — It’s a Conversation

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by medical jargon or unsure what’s really in the medications you’re offered — you’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Alexandra Galaska, founder of Just the Inserts, to talk about what true informed consent looks like and how to decode medical product information with confidence. From navigating medication inserts to advocating for yourself in pregnancy and postpartum, this conversation will help you feel grounded — not fearful — in your choices.

You’ll Learn:

• What informed consent really means (and why it’s more than signing a form)
• How to find and read medication and vaccine inserts
• The CLEAR framework for informed decision-making
• How to balance medical recommendations with your personal values
• How to ask your provider informed, respectful questions during pregnancy and birth
