In today's Sassysode, the badass nutritionist Denice Bracken & I uncover the horrors of fad diets & the issues surrounding emergency contraception.

In Sassysodes we strive to keep this unstructured, fun, and lighthearted while also bringing the listener pertinent info on women's health topics that don't get enough time in the spotlight.

Take a listen, laugh along side us, and as always... Stay Sassy!

*Disclaimer... I am very aware with how late this episode is. The episode was recorded on time, it was me that was the issue... I currently do not have enough time to edit and produce all the episodes I promised... episodes will now be coming out as time allows! :P

Take me baby, or leave me.

In this very first SASSYSODE I bring back previous guest Denice Bracken, MScN to chat about the new guideline from the CDC, where someone finally agreed that IUD insertion hurts & the free bleeding movement!

This unstructured conversation is different for Sassy Speculum, and I'm excited to bring it to you once monthly (on off weeks from our normal episode!)

Take a listen, laugh along side us, and as always... Stay Sassy!
