Are your symptoms being missed… or misunderstood?

In this bonus episode of The Iconic Midlife, I’m joined again by Dr. Eboni Cornish for a rapid-fire game we’re calling “Missed or Misunderstood?”

I throw out real symptoms and scenarios that so many women experience in midlife—and she breaks down what might actually be going on beneath the surface.

From brain fog and fatigue to anxiety, hormone shifts, and everything in between, this is a fast, eye-opening look at why so many women are told they’re “fine”… when they don’t feel it.

It’s quick. It’s sharp. And it might change the way you think about your own symptoms.

If you haven’t listened to the full episode yet, start there first—then come back to this one. Together, they connect the dots.

WHAT WE COVER

• Symptoms that are often missed vs misunderstood
• Why “normal” labs don’t always tell the full story
• The overlap between hormones, inflammation, and immune function
• Brain fog, fatigue, and anxiety—what might actually be driving them
• How women’s symptoms are often dismissed or oversimplified
• The importance of asking better, more specific questions

KEY TAKEAWAY

Not everything is as simple as it’s made to seem—and not everything that’s missed is harmless.
