In this episode of Stop Wasting Your Life, Ava sits down with longtime family friend and functional medicine expert, Dr. Randy James, to challenge the myths around women’s health—especially the belief that pain, irregular periods, and hormonal chaos are just “part of being a woman.”
They dive deep into how young women are taught to treat their symptoms as normal, why that messaging is dangerous, and how personal agency in areas like nutrition, sleep, and stress response can radically change your well-being.
From cultural conditioning to the potential consequences of early birth control use, Dr. Randy lays out a path toward reclaiming health. Not through shame or shortcuts, but through informed, intentional living. If you’ve ever been told to “Just take Midol,” or felt dismissed by the system, this episode will leave you empowered, informed, and ready to take the wheel of your own life.
“You are the captain of your own metabolic ship. Don’t give that power away.”
