#1 - Introducing 'Girl Talk Decoded': Empowering Women's Health Conversations

Girl Talk Decoded

Welcome to the Girl Talk Decoded Podcast, where hosts Mary Vance, a Certified Nutrition Consultant, and Carla Hernandez, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, make women's health easy to understand. In this debut episode, Mary and Carla share some of their health journeys, including struggles with skin issues, eating disorders, and hormonal imbalances, and how these experiences led them to careers in holistic women's health.
They talk about the importance of understanding the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms and share how diet, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies can support overall well-being. They also touch on the misconceptions about holistic health, the gaps in conventional medical training, and the need for unfiltered, honest conversations about topics often dismissed or misunderstood.
This podcast promises to be a safe, empowering space where no topic is off-limits—from women's cycles and skin health to relationships and mental well-being. Whether you're looking for practical advice or a community that gets it, this episode is a warm welcome to a journey of self-discovery and health empowerment. So make sure you tune in!
