Reproductive health in the military is an important topic and something we do not talk about. I'm excited to talk to Dr. Toni Marengo about this important topic. She is the co-facilitator of the expert consortium guiding the work for Healthy Women's new Ready, Healthy, Able program that provides resources to active duty service members with female biology. In this week's episode we focus on the importance of reproductive health along with the complexities with the topic of reproductive health.
Thank you to Healthy Women for sponsoring this week's episode. Go check out the amazing resources Healthy Women has created for military women through their new program Ready, Healthy and Able.
