Today I had the pleasure of speaking to Lisa King, also known as the Fulfilled Pharmacist on social media. We spoke about a difficult topic that many women are embarrassed to speak about, since it involves a dysfunctional bladder - which can be as painful as it is shameful. We deconstruct this topic and Lisa shares how she has healed her own bladder naturally, and helps other women that suffer with the same symptoms. Lisa King is a wife, mother and grandmother. She has been a pharmacist for almost 32 years. She is passionate about health and wellness whether in the pharmacy or out and can be found on social media as The Fulfilled Pharmacist. She teaches women with a painful bladder how to create an environment of healing in the body through diet, lifestyle and mindset changes so they can lead the fulfilled life that they desire.
