One thing that was not mentioned that people keep asking me about was how much weight I lost. I lost 7 pounds in one year, but like I mention, I was on the lowest dose and never increased.

]]> Comedian and podcaster, Tara Cannistraci, shares what happened when she experienced an ovary torsion, where her ovary literally flipped inside of her body causing tremendous pain and vomiting, and what led to her advocating for herself. We discuss how pain management, health and even fitness favor men and how little testing has been done on females. The funniest lesson she learned? To always wear a bra when the EMTs arrive and to never let anyone get your age wrong. Even if it's one year older.
