119. Why Women Feel Dismissed by Doctors with Nikki Sapiro Vinckier, PA-C
In this episode, I sit down with Nikki Sapiro Vinckier for a powerful conversation that every woman in midlife needs to hear.
We dive into what it actually means to advocate for your health—especially in a season of life where so many women feel dismissed, confused, or told "everything looks normal" when they know something is off.
If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling unheard… this episode is going to hit home.
Nikki shares her perspective from both sides—working inside the medical system and advocating for patients—so you'll walk away feeling more confident, informed, and empowered to take control of your health.
We also talk about how to navigate hormone conversations, what questions to ask your provider, and why YOU being your own advocate might be the missing piece in finally getting answers.
