Episode Description
Dr. Shieva Ghofrany is a board-certified OB-GYN, ovarian cancer survivor, and co-founder of Tribe Called V, a platform dedicated to raising women’s health knowledge and lowering anxiety through evidence-based education.
Today, Dr. Shieva joins me to talk about her journey through late-stage ovarian cancer, and the lies about ovarian cancer that have harmed women for decades and still do. Dr. Shieva explains what most women misunderstand about symptoms and what proactive care really looks like.
We dive deep into the realities women face inside the medical system and the shocking gaps in OB-GYN training around anatomy, sexual health and vestibulodynia. Dr. Shieva reveals why even seasoned doctors misdiagnose common conditions and the language in women’s health that contributes to shame rather than healing.
Our discussion covers early cancer detection through blood tests and head-to-toe MRI screening. Dr. Shieva also shares the mindset strategies that helped her survive cancer, the impact of stress and how women can approach their health from a place of empowerment instead of fear.
Join us today as we discuss ovarian cancer detection, the failures of traditional OB-GYN training, high-risk pregnancy realities and the truth about women’s anatomy.
