“My pain isn't that bad.”

How many women have said that because they can still work, manage their responsibilities, or get through their periods with medication?

Linda Jermacans, founder of OYVA, experienced period pain she considered manageable. But after an ultrasound revealed two large ovarian cysts, she eventually learned she had stage 4 endometriosis while already navigating perimenopause.

In this episode of Empowered Plates, Empowered Lives, Linda joins Jovonnie to discuss the symptoms women normalize, the challenge of overlapping health concerns, and what happens when trying to manage your health becomes overwhelming.

Linda also shares her experience of taking around 20 supplement pills daily and reconsidering her approach to nutrition and wellness.

Together, they explore how to recognize symptom patterns, ask better questions, and approach lifestyle changes without adding more pressure.

The takeaway: You don't have to wait until symptoms become unbearable before seeking answers.
