Your body is telling you something. Do you know how to listen?
Conditions like endometriosis, PMOS, thyroid disorders, and adrenal dysfunction affect women at every stage of life — and they rarely show up in isolation. They shape energy, mood, fertility, weight, sleep, and mental health in ways that are deeply interconnected. Yet in a world full of conflicting health information, it can be hard to know what’s real, what’s relevant, and what’s worth bringing to your doctor.
That's exactly why we created this evening.
Featured Speakers
Callie Greenberg
Callie Greenberg, Co-founder of The Girls Room Project.
Callie Greenberg spent 19 years working in operating rooms as a senior spine medical device sales specialist and 24 years being dismissed as a patient. She was diagnosed with stage 4 advanced endometriosis at 37. After excision surgery and multiple failed rounds of IVF, her endometriosis returned, and she had to have an emergency hysterectomy at 39, leaving her unable to have biological children. Her story, like so many women’s stories, reminds us that lived experience is its own kind of expertise. She’ll guide us through the steps to take to advocate for yourself and provide tips and tools that help ensure you get the most out of your next doctors’ appointment.
Callie is the co-founder of The Girls Room Project, a membership program that teaches girls, teens and their parents about body literacy, period health, puberty, and medical self-advocacy, so these conversations start earlier. Callie is also the co-host of The Girls Room After Dark Podcast and manages the Medical Advisory Board for Emet Surgical. Callie has been featured in Women’s Week Magazine, Endo Foundation of America, Bold Journey Magazine, Canvas Rebel and on BFDTV
