Today I’m sharing an interview with Dr. Camille Hammond to give you a medical doctor’s perspective on fibroids.
Camille T.C. Hammond, MD, MPH is the CEO of the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation. She is an expert on infertility education, advocacy and support. She has been published in the peer reviewed scientific literature and in newspapers and magazines. She and her work have been featured on television, news and testified to legislators on Capitol Hill about infertility related legislation.
She has also served as a keynote speaker and presented at scientific conferences and other programs. Through her work at the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation, she has hosted hundreds of education conferences for families sharing about different ways to become a parent and overcome infertility.
Dr. Hammond is the author of several books, including The Guud Book: About Infertility, and The Guud Book about Faith and Fertility. She is also the owner of the publishing house Guud Books about Tough Topics.
After an extraordinary medical journey gave Camille and her husband Jason, two boys and a girl, the couple decided to give back and help others still going through infertility. They started the Tinina Q Cade Foundation which, to date, has awarded 92 families with grants of up to $10,000.

Thank you for this podcast! I was recently needing it…just wanted to share my experience as well, since your podcasts have been so helpful to me in my journey of getting off hormonal birth control.
I recently was diagnosed with a fibroid (found in ultrasound due to a 6-week period towards the end of the “life” of my mirena IUD, 7 months ago). My midwife referred me to a doctor in the same practice for my follow-up to the ultrasound, who talked to me only about birth control options and surgery. While I was in the process of monitoring my periods to see if my symptoms merited surgery for myself, I got pregnant. My doctor said that the pregnancy would increase the size of my fibroid. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. After the miscarriage (3 months ago) I began following a protocol for fibroids I found in Aviva Romm’s Hormone Intelligence book. It included flax seeds, green tea extract and a tincture. I requested another ultrasound to see how the fibroid was looking, since the pregnancy prevented me from monitoring my periods. The doctor was unable to locate the fibroid in the ultrasound I had 2 weeks ago.
