  Ever felt like your doctor was speaking another language? You’re not alone. Medical jargon can feel intimidating, but here’s the truth: not knowing those words doesn’t make you less capable, less informed, or less worthy of clear answers. This episode of Well Considered is Part Three of our 5-part series, The Empowered Mom’s Guide to Medical Advocacy. We break down why jargon shows up in every profession (from lawyers and mechanics to hair stylists and tech support) and why it’s always the expert’s responsibility to translate, not yours. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why medical jargon can make moms feel small (and how to push past that feeling) Relatable examples from everyday professions (law, beauty, auto repair, finance, tech) that prove jargon is everywhere Practical ways to ask clarifying questions without feeling embarrassed Scripts to slow down conversations and bring language back to plain English How to turn intimidating moments into opportunities for true informed consent By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to spot jargon, pause with confidence, and respond with questions that put you back in the driver’s seat.

• Ep 24 | What Real Healthcare Should Look Like with Chloe Harrouche from The Lanby

  Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office with more questions than answers? Today, we sit down with Chloe Harrouche, founder and CEO of The Lanby, a patient-led concierge primary care practice in New York City that’s reimagining what healthcare could (and should) look like. At just 23, Chloe faced a breast cancer diagnosis that exposed the cracks in conventional medicine. While treatment saved her life, she was left without guidance on prevention, nutrition, fertility, or long-term wellness. That gap pushed her to become her own advocate, and eventually to build the healthcare model she wished had existed: one that integrates functional medicine, personalized care teams, and real coordination between doctors and wellness experts. Together, Alexandra and Chloe explore: Why self-care alone isn’t a healthcare plan The risks of “DIY wellness” without medical oversight How functional medicine can bridge the gap between prevention and treatment The unique care team model at The Lanby and why joint visits matter Why moms in particular need support that goes beyond quick fixes and supplement trends Whether you’re a mom juggling endless wellness advice, a provider looking for a better model, or someone who simply wants to take proactive steps toward real health, this conversation will affirm your intuition, challenge the system, and give you a hopeful glimpse of what true patient-led care can be.
