Our guest today, Dr. Aviva Romm, is no less than "The Face of Natural Medicine in the 21st Century," according to Prevention magazine. And while she has almost three decades of exemplary medical training and a thriving practice, it's her role as a woman and mother that really brings her here today. Together we'll tackle a potentially life-saving question: how do you navigate the differences in healthcare for women? Women are more likely to have their symptoms dismissed or opinions discounted.
