The Nood Troop Podcast

Sexual Health, Hormones and Finding the Right Doctor

On today’s episode of the Nood Troop Podcast, I have the distinct pleasure of chatting with my friend Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP about hormones, sexual health, empowering yourself to find a doctor that listens to you and so much more! Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, Doctor of Nursing Practice is the founder of Revive and Podcast host on Between the Sheetz with Dr. Z. Her passion for helping deliver high-quality patient care with thorough education and treatment implementation sets her so far apart from the crowd. With a clinical background in urology and advanced training in sexual health and hormone therapy, Dr. Stephanie developed a deep understanding of the complex interplay between hormones, physiology, performance, and connection. Over time, she recognized a consistent pattern: intelligent, high-functioning individuals were being told their symptoms were “normal,” despite knowing something felt off. Normal is not the same as optimal. They were functioning — but not thriving. She built Revive to change that. She is a power house and on the forefront of sexual health and wellness. Please please please take a minute to follow her on her socials, support her new endeavor into Revive and check out her amazing podcast Between the Sheetz! Help me welcome Dr. Z!!

The Cost of Not Believing Women

For years, I knew something was wrong with my body. I said it in exam rooms. I said it through tears. I said it while my life slowly became smaller because of pain, exhaustion, digestive issues and symptoms that kept escalating. And like so many women, I was told it was normal. Stress. Anxiety. Hormones. Weight. Anything but the truth. Eight years later, I am now facing surgery for conditions that should have been caught long before they were allowed to grow, spread and disrupt my life. This is the cost of not believing women. It is not just hurt feelings or frustrating appointments. It is delayed diagnoses. It is disease progression. It is organs adhering together, chronic inflammation, fertility struggles, medical trauma and surgeries that may have been preventable if someone had listened sooner. Women are conditioned to second guess themselves while being taught that pain is simply part of existing in a female body. And the longer doctors dismiss that pain, the more dangerous the consequences become. I am talking about this because I know I am not the only one. There are millions of women carrying symptoms that have been minimized, normalized or outright ignored. We deserve a medical system that listens before things become catastrophic. We deserve doctors who understand that being forced to “push through” pain is not resilience, it is survival. And we deserve to stop paying for disbelief with our bodies. Eight years…. 8 mother freakin years….and I finally have a diagnosis. But no one should have to jump these kinds of hoops just to be heard. I am standing with you, I am supporting you and just know that I believe you. You are not alone friend! Love you mean it, Katelyn This is a public episode.

The Nood Troop Podcast - Episode 10, Chantelle Dione

Hey Troop! Can you believe episode 10 is launching on the day we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Katelyn Scott AND the launch day of The Love and Rage sessions?! Seems super fitting to be hosting one of my most favorite photographers in the whole world, Chantelle Dione, an empowerment and branding photographer based in Stonewall, Manitoba, photographing humans across Manitoba and beyond. She believes the most powerful image of you is an honest one. Her messaging is super clear that bodies are pretty incredible and deserving of being seen, just how they are. She makes sure clients know that she works with the light, not against the lines. And most importantly, she does not sand down the evidence of a life fully lived in pursuit of someone else’s idea of polished. She strives to create portraits that empower, inspire, and spark something real.
