DISCLAIMER:
This podcast isnt meant to be a replacement for a traditional doctor’s appointment, nor is it meant to be providing medical advice. Rather, it is meant to supplement your doctor’s visit and explain why your doctor asked what they asked, and help explain the diagnosis and common treatment plans.
Doctors often have very different styles and approaches to a patient and their diagnosis. If we discuss a question or treatment plan that your doctor didnt mention, that doesn’t mean that they are a bad doctor. This could represent a difference in practice style, or the fact that your doctor knows you better than we do, and has created a treatment plan that better fits your lifestyle.
In case of emergency, please go to your local emergency department.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
