There are a few things that would happen in a one-to-one appointment with patients that change how successful they are.

As the youngest of 8 kids, Dr. Sharon Malone watched her mother navigate the world with good old common sense. When she became a gynecologist, author and the health-advocate for thousands of women she took the exact same approach.  Cited as the “first person I turn to for a whole host of issues, especially my health” by Michelle Obama, Sharon has a mission of taking information that used to “belong” to doctors and make it accessible and available to every woman.  In her book, Grown Woman Talk, she covers conditions from fibroids to endometriosis and how to navigate midlife with confi ..read more

If we ask a room full of women what their greatest health risk is they either can’t answer, or answer breast cancer.  If we ask people what a typical heart patient looks like, they often have an immediate vision of a man.  If we cram women’s health into a 7-minute health appointment, we probably aren’t asking her about her pregnancy history.  This, is the bad news of women’s heart health.  The good news is, we can change your path. If you listen to this conversation.  Heart health is a woman’s number one health risk, and oftentimes, she’s carrying around sex-specific r ..read more

We’ve had a lot of opportunities to do an episode on biohacking. We probably get asked 4-5 times per week to host someone on the show who has a product, supplement, lab test or wearable that they want to talk about.  We’ve pretty much always said no.  Why? Biohacking falls into this weird category of health and wellness that isn’t really evidence-based. It’s so “cutting edge” and so “ahead of the curve” that we don’t know if it works.  In this episode, I share how to think about biohacking from wearables to supplements and the questions to ask yourself (good and bad) before you ..read more

If you’ve ever been told you have heartburn, have been medicated for heartburn (and maybe still are) or have wondered if you have heartburn - this episode was recorded just for you.    I’m joined by my colleague and friend, Dr. Dominique Vanier, ND who has been an instrumental part of the education team at The Confident Clinician in the last year, educating more than 700 clinicians about reflux, heartburn and other digestive conditions that feel a lot like heartburn (but might not be!).    In this episode, we’re sharing  Heartburn myths and realities GERD diagnosti ..read more

In today’s episode, we talk about an important phrase in women’s health   “Listen to your body”   We’re going to break down when you should actually listen to your body and when listening to your body is actually getting in your way of progress.    Exercise is an amazing example, given that when we study exercise, we actually make the participants do the exercise. We don’t ask them if they are too tired or if they “feel like it”. The benefits they get come from the doing. Not from doing it if they want to.    Before you listen to your body, we need to ask a few qu ..read more

"What supplements do you take, Jordan?" This is one of the most common questions I get asked on social media. I will give you the answer, but we will also talk about why you're asking in the first place.  Wellness behaviours and nutrition have this weird space in medicine where we expect to get our answers online, our advice from friends or our hairstylist and personalized recommendations from an Instagram post. We're going to dive into this and look at why we want validation, hope, and an illusion of safety when we see someone else doing something.  I also share with you my current ..read more
