About MDU
Dr. Cindy M.P. Duke has long wondered, “what happens if she, along with allied expert clinicians and scientists, could push conversations about taboo topics that especially affected menstruating individuals to the forefront?”
The answer? A revolution like My Dynamic Uterus!
My Dynamic Uterus is a movement that addresses conversations about the health, dynamic power, astonishing capabilities, and interconnected functions of the human uterus, ovaries, the hormonal system, and our microbiome. Triggered by the question, “Did You Know That Your Period is a Vital Sign; just like your Blood Pressure, Oxygen Levels and Heart Rate?”, this club was launched by Dr. Cindy in December 2020 and it is intended to explore the mysteries, outcries, often unheard and sometimes unpopular dialogues of people born with a uterus, ovaries, or those who care for them, through diverse and guided perspectives; from expert professionals and affected individuals around the globe.
Charged with this imperative to raise awareness and uplift the health, respect, and vitality of menstruators and their loved ones, My Dynamic Uterus was established in the newfangled social media platform, Clubhouse to serve as a community for open-minded individuals, from all walks of life, who advocate for the health of every menstruating person; especially those who are often unheard and disenfranchised.
As a Follower and Member of this Club, you will discover that there is no better day to dive deeper into the underlying conditions, controversies, misconceptions, and realities of human reproduction. Dr. Cindy believes that the human uterus represents a launchpad for conversations about new beginnings — including new creations, new ideas, new relationships, and of course… life, when desired.
