Joyful Echo 11-24-21 Part Two with Dr. Jillian Johnston, M.D.

In this follow-up to Dr. Jill’s first appearance, Jean and Kathleen are able to speak with her about specific women’s health issues like PCOS and endometriosis. When young women report problems with acne, irregular periods, or heavy periods, too often they are prescribed “the pill” as the solution. Dr. Jill explains how birth control pills actually mask the symptoms of larger problems, rather than getting at the root cause and beginning to treat it. With proper education and information, women are able to provide their OBGYNs with the details of their cycle, enabling a more thorough treatment plan.
