Are you ready to transform your healthcare experience from passive compliance to active partnership?

Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month is here — and if you've ever had your symptoms brushed off as "just a heavy period," this episode is for you. Black women are diagnosed with fibroids more often, at younger ages, and with more severe symptoms — yet still get dismissed more in the exam room.

In this episode of the Rooted in Violet & Co. Podcast, host Mahogany breaks down the uterine fibroid crisis, a condition affecting up to 80% of Black women by age 50. We explore the distinct clinical symptoms—including prolonged bleeding, fatigue, and pelvic pressure—while looking at the complex biological, environmental, and stress-related factors that disproportionately affect women of color.We demystify your complete treatment matrix by balancing conventional medical solutions (like myomectomies and uterine artery embolization) with evidence-based holistic support strategies. Finally, we teach you how to activate our signature Rooted in Violet & Co Framework, so you can step into your next doctor's appointment as an empowered, confident clinical partner.
