61: Game Changers with Jessica Cording

Confessions of a Male Gynecologist

We have a lot of responsibility as healthcare providers showing up in the media space. People look to us for information and expect that they can trust what we say. Unfortunately, many people in the health space position themselves as experts without having the relevant qualifications or experience, and the misinformation they share can be very damaging.

Today, I’m joined by registered dietitian, health coach, and author Jessica Cording. One of the reasons I gravitated towards Jessica is because she incorporates both the allopathic and the alternative and offers a balanced and evidence-based perspective.

In this episode, Jessica and I discuss how her background has influenced her approach to healthcare, the importance of evidence-based information, avoiding misinformation in healthcare decisions, Jessica’s work as a nutritionist and author, managing stress and anxiety, the challenges women face with nutrition and hormone imbalances, and more. Enjoy the episode!
