In this wide-ranging and refreshingly honest episode of Candid Minds with Dr. T and Friends, psychiatrist Dr. Tamir Aldad welcomes OB-GYN, content creator, and mother of 3 Dr. Fran (aka @pagingdrfran) for a no-BS conversation about reproductive health, emotional truth, and what it actually means to show up for patients today.

Together, they dive into topics that are often misunderstood or overlooked in both medicine and everyday life:

• The stigma and misconceptions around birth control

• PMDD, hormonal mood shifts, and how they affect mental health

• Treatment vs. cure

• Body image struggles 

• The messy art of relating to patients as real humans

This episode is funny, frank, and full of insights; whether you’re a patient, provider, or just someone trying to better understand your body and mind.

If you're tired of the sugarcoated health talk, this one’s for you.
