But for others, fibroids can be extremely painful with symptoms that can change daily life. My guest is Dr. Yan Katsnelson, Founder of USA Fibroid Centers and Fibroid Fighters, a public welfare organization to advance the cause of women’s health and the safe and effective treatment of uterine fibroids.

Most people find out about a health problem when it’s already a problem, but Dr. Florence Comite has spent over 30 years proving there’s a better way. Dr. Comite is a clinical-scientist, endocrinologist, leading expert in precision medicine, and New York Times bestselling author of INVINCIBLE: Defy Your Genetic Destiny To Live Better, Longer, in which she shares her proprietary N-of1™ approach used with thousands of patients - analyzing biomarkers, family history, and lifestyle to reverse disease and intervene decades before conventional medicine would even flag a problem.
