This week on the podcast we’re talking all about endometriosis - what it is, how to go about finding out if you have endo, and we’re talking to Larissa Kutny, an osteopath who has endometriosis herself.
Endometriosis is a painful disorder where tissue similar to the tissue that is normally found in your uterus grows on the outside of your uterus.
In the same way that the tissue in your uterus will thicken, break down, and bleed during each period, the tissue will do the same on the outside of your fallopian tubes or ovaries (wherever this tissue is growing), but since there’s no way for the broke down tissue to exit your body- the blood becomes trapped and thus results in sever pelvic pain during menstruation.
Researchers believe that endo affects about 11% of women and menstruators - it’s characterized by painful periods that extends before and after your period, there’s more bleeding than usual with heavy periods or even bleeding between periods, pain during sex, and pain when you go to the bathroom.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms go to the doctor and ask them about endometriosis, and Larissa, our guest on the podcast has a couple of questions that you can ask your doctor - she explains how she was diagnosed and also how long it took to get the diagnosis.

Today we’re chatting with Dr. Megan Garlapow, about her life working in genetics, getting her PhD, and finding Crossfit.
Dr. Garlapow received her PhD in genetics from North Carolina State University and went on to get her postdoc at Arizona State University studying how environmental factors can affect body weight.
After her time in academia, she went on to learn about different careers for a scientist- one of them being a medical writer. Dr. Garlapow went on to start her own entrepreneurial medical writing company and along the way continued to try different athletic activities, challenging both her mind and body.
Dr. Garlapow was always sporty - she raced bikes for a while before turning to Crossfit. We’re chatting with her about all of her amazing work in the medical field and turning to her own health and strength!
Today we’re chatting with Dr. Megan Garlapow, about her life working in genetics, getting her PhD, and finding Crossfit.
Dr. Garlapow fell in love with genetics in 8th grade and realized she wanted to continue on that track in her life.
Dr. Garlapow earned a PhD in genetics from North Carolina State University, using quantitative genetics approaches to examine the regulation of feeding. In her postdoctoral research at Arizona State University, Dr. Garlapow examined the environmental and genetic factors affecting body weight.
Unfortunately, what had started as a subtle seed of discontent in academia a year before bloomed into a dislike for remaining in the academic track. So she started speaking to EVERYONE and anyone about what they did for work, how they got into it, whether they liked it. She was taking her daughter to a soccer class near her home one night, and one of the moms said, “I have a neighbor who has a PhD in something science-y, is a mom, and used to be a bike racer. I’ll introduce you.” So Dr. Garlapow got coffee with this other woman who was (and still is) an established freelance medical writer. That coffee changed her life and she built her own business as a medical writer.
Dr. Garlapow was always sporty - she raced bikes for a while before turning to Crossfit. We’re chatting with her about all of her amazing work in the medical field and turning to her own health and strength!To learn more about Megan and all of our Weekly Women, visit Jubilance.com/blog

Today on the podcast we have Leslie Hope Holthoff, author of a new autobiography about her life as a teen mom and growing up.
The good news is, in America, teen pregnancy has steadily declined since the early nineties. The bad news is there are still girls raising children, and fifty percent of them won’t graduate from high school.
Leslie was a scared little girl, overwhelmed by shame and self-hatred, whose tools for understanding sex and knowing how to stop it simply didn’t exist. By the time she was staring at two pink lines on a pregnancy test when she was just fifteen, her life already felt like it belonged to someone else.
Not Mary Not Roe is Holthoff’s stereotype-shattering story that explores the nuances of social mores, family upbringing, and religion that can become unwitting contributors to teen pregnancy. Her narrative begs the question: If we don’t teach young people about sex, how can we force them to bear the consequences?

Cali O'Connor is a recovering corporate hustler. She didn’t realize it, but she was addicted to hard work and the praise that came along with it. The praise fueled the self-induced stress spiral which ultimately led to a breaking point. Until this point she was distracted by her achievements within the company, but a day didn’t go by without wishing she was somewhere else. She couldn’t see herself continuing on this trajectory, she couldn’t see a position in this company where she’d be happy (despite 4 promotions in 3 years), she needed A BREAK. So she left and pursued the ONLY thing she cared about. World travel. For 2.5 years. For the first time in her life she felt like she was doing what she was supposed to be doing. She will never forget the feeling that overcame her from her window seat on her flight to Nairobi... So she started The Travel Shifters to help others do the same, to leave the corporate world, or at least their desks behind, and take the road less traveled, a life of adventure and loving what you do! We're talking to her about starting her company, her world travels, and living in Mexico.
