Why PCOS Isn't Just About “Fixing Your Hormones” (And What Actually Matters Instead)So many of us are handed the same generic advice when it comes to PCOS, “just balance your hormones” or “go on the pill.” But what if the story is so much deeper than that?In this episode, I sit down with Rohini, a registered associate nutritionist and one of the clearest voices in the space, to talk about what's actually going on behind the scenes with PCOS, and why hormone health doesn't look the same for every woman. This isn't about “quick fixes.” It's about real physiology, individual nuance, and understanding how your body is speaking to you.We explore:What we get wrong about PCOS (and why so many feel gaslit by their doctors)Why “hormone balance” isn't a real goal and what to focus on insteadHow stress, nutrition, and nervous system health impact PCOSHow to advocate for yourself inside a healthcare system that often misses the markWhy so many women are misdiagnosed — and how to navigate conflicting adviceUnderstanding your symptoms through the lens of function, not failureThe importance of cycle literacy for every stage of lifeHow diet culture confuses PCOS care — and what sustainable support actually looks likeTips for getting the most from your GP appointment or specialist consultHow plant-based approaches can support (not replace) root-cause healingWhether you've just been diagnosed or you've been managing PCOS for years, this episode will help you feel seen, informed, and empowered to approach things differently.About Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder worldwide, affecting at least 1 in 10 women, non-binary and transgender people. It is the number one cause of infertility with symptoms including acne, excess weight gain, irregular periods and hair loss and higher risk of long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and womb cancer. Alarmingly, 3 in 4 of those with PCOS remain undiagnosed because of the complex nature of the condition. *The information shared in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only; it is not a substitute for medical advice or individualised care from a qualified health professional. Connect with RohiniGet your copy of Living PCOS Free: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Living-PCOS-Free-hormonal-Polycystic/dp/1781612137My website: www.rohinibajekal.com My Substack: Full of Beans https://rohinibajekal.substack.com/Follow me on Instagram @rohinibajekal RCOG (2014):  Long-term consequences of polycystic ovary syndrome: https://www.rcog.org.uk/globalassets/documents/guidelines/gtg_33.pdfESHRE: Partner Guideline: International Evidence-based Guideline for the Assessment and Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome 2023. Copyright Monash University, Melbourne Australia 2023: https://www.ese-hormones.org/publications/directory/partner-guideline-international-evidence-based-guideline-for-the-assessment-and-management-of-polycystic-ovary-syndrome-2023/NICE guidelines: https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/polycystic-ovary-syndrome/American College of Lifestyle Medicine: https://www.lifestylemedicine.org/Scientific-EvidenceFree factsheet on PCOS from Dr Nitu Bajekal: https://nitubajekal.com/pcos/Free downloadable PCOS Factsheet from Plant-Based Health Professonals UK: https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/wp-content/uploads/PCOS-factsheet-210709.pdfSubscribe & Follow the PodcastIf this conversation brought you value, made you think, or gave you language to share with someone else — consider leaving a review, sharing it with a friend, or hitting follow.

If you're the proud owner of a pair of ovaries, and you're “of a certain age” you may have noticed that things are starting to change. Could it be…perimenopause??? It can be hard to talk about perimenopause and the menopause transition…not the least of which is that there is still such a ridiculous stigma about women getting older. Like it's a “use by date” in society and as a woman in her mid-40s, I want to help contribute to a mindset shift around this important transition in our lives.  We need to educate ourselves about how are bodies are changing and how we can best facilitate that change, so I'm thrilled to welcome Dr Nitu Bajekal MD, a UK-based OBGYN BACK on the pod, in honour of her newest book, Finding ME in Menopoause.

Hormone health is definitely a trending topic - filled will all sorts of wacky ideas about how to care for yourself during this transition so we're going to cover everything from how perimenopause presents itself to why hormone tests are generally useless during this time as well as the confusing around hormone therapy and why the microbiome is so important for hormone balance! On this episode we chat about: Perimenopause vs Menopause How perimenopause shows up in the body Dr Bajekal's own experience with early menopause What we get wrong about menopause hormone therapy Brain health: is it perimenopause or your lifestyle? Why you probably don't want to do a hormone test How the gut microbiome affects your hormone balance Why soy is so important for hormone health The question of weight gain in menopause Support the Pod!

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the most misunderstood - and overlooked - endocrine disorders affecting women and those assigned female at birth.

My social feeds are being flooded right now with talk of nutrition for hormonal health so I wanted to explore evidence-based strategies for caring for our reproductive system - and hormonal balance in general - here on the pod. And I could not think of a better person to speak to about polycystic ovarian syndrome than Dr Nitu Bajekal MD, an obstetrician/gynecologist and co-author of the book Living PCOS free with her daughter, nutritionist Rohini Bajekal.  Dr Nitu is an advocate for reproductive health for all humans, and I am so appreciative of her inclusive and positive approach regarding weight as well as ensuring that the needs of non-binary people and trans men are supported in healthcare. This episode is a deep dive into what PCOS is, the signs and symptoms to discuss with your physician as well as a look at evidence-based lifestyle medicine - sleep, movement and nutrition - that complement traditional care.

If you're a woman struggling with issues like menopause, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), hot flashes, or any other health concerns, you may want to consider a plant-based diet. That's according to Dr. Nitu Bajekal, a gynecologist with over 35 years of experience in women's health. Dr. Bajekal is the author of "Living PCOS Free", and she says that a whole food plant-based diet can offer a number of benefits for women's health. For example, it can help to regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, and promote weight loss. During the interview, Dr. Bajekal provides tips for transitioning to a plant-based diet, and she also shares her own personal story of how this way of eating has helped her. If you're interested in learning more about how a plant-based diet can improve your health, be sure to check out the podcast interview with Dr. Bajekal. Trust me, it's worth a listen!

This episode is the audio taken from an Instagram Live I hosted with Dr Nitu Bajekal (@drnitubajekal). On 28th April 2022, I was very happy to have hosted this live talk with Nitu on the day that her new book, "Living PCOS Free", was published. Join us for a conversation about the symptoms of PCOS, steps to diagnosis, and the approaches that people can take to help manage this condition. Nitu's mission, along with her daughter Rohini Bajekal, is to help women "regain their hormonal health". And I think this conversation, their new book, and the information they share on social media/their websites prove how hard they are working to make this happen and the big strides they are making to empower people to improve their health and wellbeing. Enjoy the conversation! *During the conversation we discuss changes in diet. If you are thinking about changing your diet, always consult with your doctor or other healthcare provider. * Because the audio is taken from an Instagram live, the quality of the audio is not as good as it normally would be. | If you're enjoying this podcast, please show your support by leaving a review, liking the episode, and following the show.

In this episode of The MindBodyHealth Podcast I interview Dr Nitu Bajekal who is a highly respected consultant Gynaecologist and a women's health specialist with over 35 years experience. Dr Nitu provides both holistic and medical care for women with a variety of health concerns. She has a specific expertise and passion in areas such as PCOS, painful periods, menopause and such important issues regarding women's health. She has now co-authored "Living PCOS FREE" with her daughter and it's a book that is making a hugely positive impact. These are areas that need to be taken much more seriously and better understood by both men and women and education is the key. In this podcast episode Dr Nitu clarifies what each condition is. We also discuss the importance of taking personal responsibility for one's health and wellbeing and how all conditions, diseases and ailments are lifestyle related and hence why the starting point needs to always be looking at one's lifestyle and seeing where one can make positive improvements. The medical route is always an important option but one must look at their lifestyle first for cause and to make improvements. We also speak about the power of adopting a wholefood plant based lifestyle and destroy some myths around soya and more.

In this podcast I sit down with Dr Nitu Bajekal. She is a gynecologist (OB-GYN) from London, UK.

Welcome to TeachStrong Talks podcast, a place for real conversations about effective well-being for school staff! Our guest today is Dr Nitu Bajekal. Nitu is a consultant Gynaecologist who specialises in Women's Health. She has over 35 years of clinical experience and provides medical and holistic care for women with a variety of health concerns. In 2014, Nitu set up “Women for Women's Health” - a voluntary service to empower women of all ages to make lifestyle choices that will help improve their own health and that of their families and friends through education. Nitu has also written a book with her daughter Rohini (a previous guest on the show!) called "Living PCOS Free", as well as multiple articles for publications like Cosmopolitan, The Independent and Huffington Post. Around ¾ of teachers are female, however advice and guidance around health and well-being amongst school staff often fails to address specific issues that women may be going through. The aim of today's podcast is to unpick the information around some of the most common topics affecting women today and then explore lifestyle approaches that Nitu has seen first hand work to help relieve or treat them. We chat to Nitu about the causes and symptoms of : Painful periods Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Menopause And the advice that she offers to manage these conditions. This is a longer episode than normal but a real masterclass in women's health.

 Coming from a completely unbiased place of having been both vegetarian and omnivore, and seeing, feeling and understanding the benefits of both, I wanted to create a 2 part series where we really get to the bottom of whether or not one is healthier, or whether, like with all things when it comes to healthcare, it's a personalised approach based on each person's requirements, and this is the first in that 2-part series.   My passion is to provide people with information that they might not have access to otherwise; for people to be able to make decisions from a place of informed choice; to be able to break apart conflicting information to make the right decisions for you and your family and that was my intention with this series as there never seems to be a definitive answer on whether plant-based or some organic animal produce in the diet are healthier. It goes without saying that ethically, we know that plant-based living would help the planet and is kinder to animals, but I wanted to put that aside so that we could be totally undistracted by anything other than which is healthier.   Dr Nitu Bajekal is a plant-based women's health OB/GYN and speaks here about why she feels plant-based eating is the absolute healthiest option for everyone.   I did not agree with some of what Dr Bajekal was advocating, for example eating non-organic soy (or any soy), foods fortified with synthetic vitamins, and a lot of her views on allopathic healthcare. However, I respect her views and respect her as a source of information within the plant-based world, and the episode is brought to you as it was recorded in order not to censor anyone's views simply because they may differ from my own.   Make sure to tune back in next week when we discuss the other side, with Dr Stephanie Rimka.   Articles mentioned: MTHFR – The Gene Mutation That Could Harm Your Unborn Baby https://www.laurenvaknine.co.uk/2015/05/21/mthfr/ Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny https://www.laurenvaknine.co.uk/2018/06/29/wddty/   I'M RUNNING A *FREE* WEBINAR TRAINING WORKSHOP ON HOW TO FIX THE BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR LIFE TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU DREAM OF, ON AUGUST 23RD 2021 AT 7.30PM GMT.

The Health Gap is a brand-new podcast from South West Londoner about all things women's health. Presented and produced by journalists Lucy Carr, Emily-Jane Heap, Kirsten Grant and Madison Bentley, this series will explore gender inequalities across the UK health services. Each week will see The Health Gap hosts talk with experts to demystify concerns surrounding women's health issues, debunk age-old misconceptions about the female body, and bring to light the issue of misdiagnosis and dismissal of women's symptoms. This week's episode focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic has magnified gender inequalities in the healthcare system. Topics of discussion include the widespread panic triggered by the AstraZeneca vaccine's potential to cause blood clots, versus the lack of discourse surrounding the Pill, which carries a comparatively higher risk of causing the same life-threatening issue. This week's episode of The Health Gap welcomes special guests Dr Elinor Cleghorn and Dr Nitu Bajekal. Dr Elinor Cleghorn is a feminist cultural historian who specialises in the history of medicine, focusing particularly on how those histories relate to women's bodies and illnesses. Dr Nitu Bajekal is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist with over 35 years of clinical experience in women's health.

In this episode Jon interviews plant-based doctor and women's health expert Dr. Nitu Bajekal. Dr. Nitu gives a primer on lifestyle medicine, explains how to achieve optimum health on a plant-based diet and fields a listener question regarding ovarian cysts, type 2 diabetes and a plant-based diet.Plus Jon and Val tackle one of the biggest vegan dilemmas: dating an omnivore!For the full show notes and credits for this episode, please visit https://tichostable.com/podcast/dr-nitu-bajekal
