You know that moment at your OB-GYN appointment — when you’ve got a hundred questions swirling in your head, but you freeze up and just say, “Everything’s fine”?
You’re not alone.
From confusing symptoms to taboo topics, women often walk out of the exam room without the answers they came for — or without even knowing what to ask. It’s one of the reasons so many of us feel uncertain about what’s actually normal when it comes to our bodies.
That’s exactly why this month’s Pelvic Power Hour goes straight to the source.
We’re joined by Dr. Jill Garnier, a board-certified OB-GYN with over 15 years of experience providing comprehensive care from adolescence through menopause. Known for her no-judgment, patient-centered approach, Dr. Garnier helps women understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health with equal parts compassion and candor.
Why we need to talk about what’s “normal”
Women’s health conversations too often start and stop at reproduction — pregnancy, birth control, menopause — skipping over the everyday experiences that shape how we feel in our bodies.
What’s normal when it comes to discharge, libido, or cycle changes?
How do you know if pelvic pain is something to worry about — or if your perimenopause symptoms are starting earlier than you expected?
As Dr. Garnier reminds us in this conversation, understanding what’s normal for you starts with better information — and the confidence to ask for it.
What you’ll learn in this Pelvic Power Hour
In this on-demand episode, Dr. Garnier breaks down the questions women most often wish they could ask, and the answers every woman deserves to know.
Here’s what we cover:
- The most common questions women wish they could ask their OB-GYN
- What’s actually normal when it comes to cycles, discharge, libido, and hormones
- How to make the most of your annual visit — and what your doctor really wants you to ask
- The truth about pelvic exams, Pap smears, and perimenopause symptoms
- How to advocate for yourself and feel heard in the exam room
This is the conversation you wish you’d had years ago — with clear, honest insights that demystify everything from your monthly cycle to your midlife shifts.
