#899. Kaitlyn is joined in-studio by her longtime friend (and former fertility nurse!) Whitney Bischoff Angel, fresh off a girls' weekend, to talk all things fertility and women's health. From egg freezing and endometriosis to postpartum, loss, and the emotional side of every phase—nothing is off the table.Whitney shares insights from nearly 20 years in fertility nursing, why she chose not to pursue the influencer path, and she opens up about her not-so-great experience on The Bachelor and how it shaped the life she has now. They also dig into the questions so many women have but rarely get clear answers to: – What's the first step if you're curious about fertility support? – Do SSRIs or mental health meds impact pregnancy? – When should you consider freezing your eggs? – Should you freeze them even if you're not sure you want kids? – What about PCOS, male factor infertility, endometriosis, or surrogacy?And of course, some surprise guest walk-ins lead to an unexpected Titanic conspiracy chat—because why not?It's real, informative, and full of the conversations women wish they heard more often.

In this episode, Patricia shares a recovery story so many women will see themselves in. She began with a PCOS diagnosis and followed the typical low-fat, low-carb protocol, only to slip deeper into HA. Even though she wasn't “overexercising” in the traditional sense, her naturally active city lifestyle kept her body in a constant state of output.Inside our Restore Your Fertility Program, Patricia learned that her body wasn't the problem, her protocol and rigidity was. She and Ashley created a plan that reduced unnecessary movement, added nourishment, and helped her release the rigid rules that were pushing her further from the period and fertility she wanted.Her story is a reminder that when you trust your body and give it what it truly needs, not what you think it should need, healing happens. If you're stuck between diagnoses, confused by protocols, or frustrated that you're doing “everything right,” this episode will feel like exhale.Jool Wellnesshttps://joolwellness.comRestore Your Fertility Group Programhttps://www.thehasociety.com/restore-liveJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/https://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Colby Holtshouse, President and CEO of May Health.May Health is developing a minimally invasive ovarian ablation therapy designed to restore ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and PCOS-related infertility.Before May Health, Colby served as Global Medtech Commercial Lead at Organon, overseeing the worldwide launch of the Jada System following Organon's acquisition of Alydia Health, where she held roles including COO, Interim CEO, and VP of Marketing. She has also held leadership positions at Pelvalon, AccessClosure, Medtronic, and Guidant.In this discussion, Colby shares why early clinical evidence should be built in focused layers rather than oversized, all-at-once trials. She explains how a small, deliberate early launch can reveal the workflow nuances and real-world expectations no study ever captures.

Rosie shares the moment her “dream job” as a magazine editor ended in a hotel-room breakdown – after years of running on adrenaline, juggling motherhood, constant news cycles and never listening to the quiet voice saying, “this isn't working anymore.” Chloe opens up about working in a high-pressure beauty brand, developing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through stress, long-term burnout, weight gain, and the courage it took to step out of the “sidekick” role and claim her own creative path.

What happens when chronic endometriosis meets fierce advocacy and a wicked sense of humor? What if your most painful experiences become the catalyst for empowering others? And how does a uterus-shaped wine decanter become a national conversation piece for women's reproductive health?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine chats with Erica Loring, the self-declared "brains and uterus behind Shecanter," to talk about turning pain into purpose and stigma into laughter. Erica shares her deeply personal health journey, from fainting spells through high-school to finally being heard, diagnosed, and validated after years of dismissal. Her story shines a light on endometriosis, PCOS, women's healthcare funding inequality, reproductive rights advocacy, and the power of representation through design.  Her viral product line, including uterus decanters, mugs, and more, has become both a feminist cultural symbol and a fundraising tool fueling research and resources for women with reproductive health conditions. Listeners will learn how Erica transformed a frustrating medical experience into a thriving brand, using humor as activism and novelty products as conversation starters.  In this episode you'll hear: [2:37] Erica's endometriosis journey [4:14] Medical dismissal [4:58] Diagnosis barriers [7:18] Women's health funding [11:40] Novelty feminist products [15:26] Patient self-advocacy [17:22] Reproductive health organizations [19:07] Product design process [23:21] Empowering healthcare advocacy [28:08] Finding and purchasing the products   Resources mentioned:  shecanter.com @the_shecanter on IG endometriosisassn.org pcoschallenge.org plannedparenthood.org   Dr. Shahine's Weekly Newsletter on Fertility News and Recommendations Follow @drlorashahine Instagram | YouTube | Tiktok | Her Books

If you've ever wondered why PCOS feels so confusing, why the symptoms don't line up, why the advice is contradictory, why the solutions feel like guesswork, you're not imagining it. That's exactly why I brought back Julie Duffy Dillon, registered dietitian, author, and host of Find Your Food Voice, to cut through the noise. Julie has a rare way of talking about PCOS that immediately makes your shoulders drop: it's science-based, deeply compassionate, and totally free of judgment or quick fixes.  Tweetable Quotes " So many people are led to believe that it's just a problem with their ovaries, but really, PCOS is an endocrine disorder that starts in the brain, not in the ovaries. It's something that someone's born with and they're, they die with it too." - Julie Duffy Dillon "We don't have a lot of research. Doctors don't always have the answers, and there's a lot of weight bias in there, too. And unfortunately, most people just know about the reproductive interventions. They don't know about all the other ones." - Julie Duffy Dillon "I do feel like with PCOS, you have to advocate for yourself more. It's annoying." - Julie Duffy Dillon "PCOS is the number one cause of anovulatory infertility." - Julie Duffy Dillon " If you're eating enough with PCOS, adding movement is something that can really help with your insulin levels. But if you are someone who's painfully tired or your insulin levels are really high, so you have these cravings all the time, adding exercise or movement is just gonna make things worse." - Julie Duffy Dillon Resources Julie's Website: https://julieduffydillon.com/ Free Tools: https://julieduffydillon.com/voice/ Julie's Podcast: https://julieduffydillon.com/podcast/ Book: https://julieduffydillon.com/book/ Book bonus downloads: https://findyourfoodvoicebook.com PCOS Membership: https://julieduffydillon.com/pcos-power-course/ Bergen Mental Health Group Inc. is hiring!

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you will take a step back and explore what it truly means to heal from PCOS in a holistic, whole-body way. While it's tempting to zero in on one area, like nutrition, supplements, or lab results, lasting success comes from weaving together all aspects of your health: mind, body, and environment. If you've been feeling stuck or like you're doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode will help you identify where your healing journey may be out of balance and how to refocus your efforts for long-term change.What Holistic PCOS Healing Really MeansThe word "holistic" is often used in health circles, but in this episode, you'll discover what it actually looks like when applied to PCOS recovery. You'll explore how nutrition, movement, stress regulation, mindset, and all aspects of your environment work together to create a healing atmosphere. This episode helps you move beyond fragmented efforts and build a strong foundation for sustainable progress.The Pillars of Whole-Body PCOS RecoveryYou'll walk through the eight key areas that support whole-body healing for PCOS. These include identifying your root cause, assessing your nutrition habits, exploring your relationship with movement, and learning how stress, both visible and hidden, can sabotage your hormone balance. You'll also examine the importance of emotional wellness and mindset, when and how to integrate supplements or medical therapies, how to approach fertility treatments, and why avoiding a fragmented approach is crucial.How to Use Supplements and Fertility Interventions StrategicallyRather than jumping straight into pills or procedures, this episode highlights how to use supplements and fertility treatments more effectively by laying the proper groundwork first. You'll learn why supplements and medications are only helpful when layered on top of a healthy lifestyle and why fertility interventions are more successful when preceded by simple, consistent lifestyle changes.Creating a Unified Plan for Lasting PCOS ResultsYou'll learn how to stop piecing together random advice from social media and instead build a personalized, step-by-step plan that reflects your unique needs and root causes. Whether you're working with multiple practitioners or just following advice online, this episode emphasizes the importance of filtering information through the lens of a unified, whole-body approach.You'll leave this episode with a bird's-eye view of what your PCOS healing journey can look like when all the puzzle pieces start to fit together. You'll learn how to stop bouncing between quick fixes and start making sustainable changes that help you feel vibrant, energized, and at home in your body again.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-175

Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge hier im Podcast ketogener Lifestyle und Biohacking.Schön dass du wieder eingeschaltet hast. Heute erfährst du alles zum Thema „Die Macht der Ketose - Für Darm, Haut &Entzündungen“. In dieser Folge spricht Florence mit Haut- und Laserexpertin Melina über die oft unterschätzte Macht der Ketose – besonders im Zusammenhang mit Haut, Hormonen und Stress. Melina erklärt, warum viele Hautprobleme wie Akne, Neurodermitis oder zyklusbedingte Unreinheiten mit Entzündungen, Zucker, Stress und Pflege-Overload zusammenhängen und weshalb echte Veränderung nachhaltig nur über Lebensstil und Ernährung möglich ist. Florence zeigt, wie Ketose und exogene Ketonkörper als antientzündliches „Clean Energy“-Tool wirken, den Blutzucker stabilisieren, den Schlaf verbessern und dadurch Abnehmen, Hormonbalance und ein klareres Hautbild unterstützen können – ganz ohne Diät-Hamsterrad und Abnehmspritze. Die beiden teilen Praxisbeispiele aus ihrem Alltag, sprechen über PCOS, Ketorash & Co. und geben konkrete Impulse, wie du Schritt für Schritt raus aus dem Stressmodus und rein in einen gesunden Lifestyle kommst. Ganz viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

In this raw conversation, Sasha and Francia Raisa pull back the curtain on what it's actually like to have a public career while your hormones and mental health are in chaos. Francia shares how she went from landing back-to-back hit shows to quietly falling apart: severe depression, terrifying night sweats, gut issues, PCOS, endometriosis, and PMDD that had her sobbing in her trailer between takes. They talk about body image, being a Latina in an industry obsessed with boxes and accents, and why women so often keep pushing through when everything in their body is saying stop. Part 2 goes even deeper into freezing her eggs and redefining her future.

In this latest episode of Health Youniversity, discover how to balance your hormones naturally to optimize fertility and reclaim control of your reproductive health.Join integrative nutrition health coach and hormone health specialist Madison Pollack as she shares her personal journey from cancer survivor to wellness advocate, and how she reversed her PCOS diagnosis and restored her natural cycles with nutrition.Learn why PCOS isn't just a reproductive issue—it's a metabolic concern with long-term health implications. Discover the importance of proper nutrition (including why you need 80-100g of protein daily), why high-intensity workouts might be sabotaging your hormones, and how simple movement throughout the day can make all the difference.Maddy breaks down the three essential pillars of hormone health: nutrition, movement, and stress management—plus why you don't need to overhaul everything at once to see real results.This episode is perfect for women dealing with PCOS, irregular cycles, or fertility challenges, anyone who feels they've "tried everything," or those seeking to understand their bodies beyond what birth control taught them.

Welcome and thank you for listening! As a midwife, Lungile Gamede started noticing a surge in conditions like debilitating periods, PCOS, and endometriosis among the young girls in her community. But her journey started even closer to home: Lungile herself struggled with intense bloating, severe PMS, and symptoms the doctors couldn't resolve. This personal health battle—combined with her professional observations—led her down a path of crucial discovery: the role of hormone-disrupting toxins in everyday products. Lungile breaks down what these Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are, where we find them, and exactly how they impact reproductive health. She shares how she learned to heal her own body and now teaches those powerful, actionable clean living solutions to empower young women. In this episode, we discuss: Lungile's personal struggle with bloating and severe PMS that sparked her deep dive into hormonal health. The common reproductive issues Lungile saw in her community that confirmed her research findings. Surprising everyday sources of EDCs (cosmetics, plastics, food etc.) and their direct link to conditions like period pains and endometriosis. The success stories and real-life improvements girls are seeing after adopting Lungile's clean living habits. Practical first steps for women and supportive advice for parents and guardians.

What happens when a type‑A, high‑achieving doctor slowly loses her period, her sense of safety in her body, and eventually her fertility, only to discover she is the one pushing her hormones to shut down? In this raw and hopeful episode, Dr. Ashley Burton traces her path from childhood body image and disordered "health" habits through years of irregular cycles, the pill, an unexpected pregnancy and termination, and a cascade of IUD complications that ended in full‑blown hypothalamic amenorrhea. Ashley pulls back the curtain on her HA journey and how true preconception prep was a game‑changer in helping her get and stay pregnant.  Episode Highlights: How growing up in a Northern Ontario First Nations community, body image pressure, and "healthy habits" quietly set Ashley up for missing periods and HA.​ The truth about her late first period, years of sparse cycles, and what seven years on the pill really did to her hormones.​ An unexpected pregnancy on the rhythm method, a difficult at‑home termination, and the Mirena IUD decision that changed everything.​ The terrifying hemorrhage that became her rock‑bottom moment and the doorway into real body literacy and cycle awareness.​ The one line on a fitness podcast that made her realize she was overtraining, and how easing up finally opened the door to pregnancy.​ Why she is so grateful for preconception nutrient loading now that she is 10 weeks pregnant with first‑trimester food aversions in full swing.​ The sneaky "goal clothes" trap that keeps so many women stuck in HA and what freedom on the other side can look like.​ A client story where a frightening PCOS label turned out to be HA that shifted in two months with breakfast, stress work, and charting.​ Ashley's countercultural reframe on movement, timing, and why building fertility foundations now pays off well into perimenopause and beyond.​ If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.

In this episode, Sally sits down with Dr. Lara Briden, naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Repair for Women. She's been called the period revolutionary—and after this conversation, you'll understand exactly why.We talk about the massive paradox in women's health:Society suddenly worships estrogen and progesterone when women hit their mid-40s……yet spent the last 60 years casually switching those same hormones off in teenage girls.Yep. We're going there.What We Get IntoWhy regular ovulation is not just “nice to have” — it's literally how young women make hormonesHow we got stuck in a 60-year loop of shutting down women's ovarian function (hint: the pill's “regulate your period” pitch started as a cover story)The weird disconnect between medical guidelines that say periods are a vital sign… and the normalization of medicating them awayWhat a healthy period actually looks like (spoiler: it shouldn't hurt and it shouldn't require you to white-knuckle your way through PMS)Why so many modern symptoms aren't “women being women”—they're the result of environment, lifestyle, and a system that never prioritized female physiologyAnd the big one: Did menopause evolve? Or is it some biological glitch because women are living longer?The Mic-Drop MomentsLara breaks down why menopause absolutely evolved on purpose—and why humans are more like killer whales than we thinkThe “grandmother effect” and why older women have always been essential for the survival of the tribeThe wild fact that among the Hadza, and other traditional-living communities, menopause brings zero symptomsThe reality that our cycles are meant to be signals, not punishmentsIf You've Ever Thought…“I guess this is just how my period is.”“This is normal for my age.”“Maybe my hormones just hate me.”…this episode might flip your worldview upside down (in a good way).About Dr. Lara BridenLara practices in Christchurch, New Zealand, helping women navigate PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and other hormone-health challenges. Her work bridges biology, history, anthropology, and real-world clinical wisdom.

In this episode, we sit down with integrative oncologist and metabolic health pioneer Dr. Nasha Winters (who insists we call her Nasha) to explore the powerful intersection of cancer, ultra-processed foods, metabolism, and sovereignty. Nasha shares her astonishing personal story: years of dismissed symptoms, normalized suffering, and relentless gaslighting that culminated in a diagnosis of end-stage ovarian cancer at age 19—and being sent home to die. Thirty-four years later, she's very much alive and leading a global movement to rethink cancer as a metabolic, terrain-driven disease rather than a purely genetic accident. We talk about how ultra-processed foods don't just starve our mitochondria—they starve our sovereignty, hijack our decision-making, and fracture our relationship with our own bodies. Along the way, Nasha invites us to move away from perfectionism and fragility and toward aligned, values-based choices and fierce self-responsibility. In this episode, we explore: Nasha's "pain to purpose" story Chronic health issues from infancy through adolescence: PCOS, endometriosis, autoimmune issues, RA, IBS, thyroid dysfunction, and more—constantly normalized and medicated. Being diagnosed with end-stage ovarian cancer at 19, with full bowel obstruction, organ failure, metastasis, and "3 months to live." How being sent home to die became the catalyst for asking "Why?" and beginning her life's work. A metabolic and psychological reset Why a prolonged period of fasting (due to bowel obstruction) functioned as an unplanned metabolic intervention. How an accidental very high-dose psilocybin experience in 1991 fundamentally changed her perspective, reduced her fear of death, and gave her a will to live. The insight that cancer is not just genetic—but deeply tied to environment, metabolism, trauma, and disconnection from nature. Cancer as an ecosystem, not a battlefield What Nasha means by seeing the body as an ecosystem instead of a war zone. How we are in constant relationship with our internal and external environments—our bodies, food systems, and the land all reflecting each other. Ultra-processed foods and cancer terrain Why ultra-processed foods are "as genetically mismatched as it gets" for humans. How UPFs impact all the hallmarks of cancer—driving inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and brain hijacking. The role of emulsifiers, preservatives, seed oils, and other additives in damaging the gut, microbiome, and immune surveillance. Why "a little" ultra-processed food isn't neutral for people with a vulnerable system—and why in her oncology population, UPF often has to be all-or-nothing. Metabolic sovereignty vs. perfectionism Nasha's powerful idea that UPFs don't just starve our mitochondria—they starve our sovereignty. What it means to choose health as alignment, not achievement. How social pressure, cultural norms, and "moderation" language rob people of agency. Practical examples of reclaiming sovereignty: bringing your own wine, your own safe foods, and modeling a different way without preaching. Working with food addiction and emotional eating (without shame) How she meets people gently where they are, especially those whose only "comfort" has been food. "Upgrading" comfort foods and using cooking and eating as a creative, relational, and communal act rather than a shame-based one. Her boundary as a clinician: "I'm not willing to work harder than you." How that shifted outcomes and reduced codependency. Community, clinicians, and doing this together How she used farmers' markets and health-food store "field trips" as non-shaming education: reading labels together, swapping recipes, and making it fun. Seasonal group cleanses and experiments that removed UPFs without moralizing and re-connected people to real food. Justice, food deserts, and real solutions Stories from working in Indigenous and low-resource communities and helping reintroduce native seeds and traditional foodways. The Food-as-Medicine movement: projects like FreshRx, where CSA boxes for people with type 2 diabetes significantly lowered A1C and healthcare costs. Why she believes, increasingly, that the resources are there—and the work now is connection, awareness, and community organizing. A hopeful vision for the next 5 years Policy shifts around dietary guidelines and school food. Regenerative agriculture movements, farmer-led organizations, and bringing environmental, metabolic, mental health, and food systems together under one roof. Her dream project: a 1,200-acre regenerative farm, intentional community, and metabolic oncology hospital in Arizona. One small step you can take this week Start with non-judgmental awareness: a simple food and feeling diary. Her "triage" before reaching for UPFs: Big glass of water A bit of protein A bit of fat Then the UPF if you still truly want it—no self-punishment. How small wins ("I didn't eat the thing") build fierceness and confidence over time. Our signature question What Nasha would tell her younger self about ultra-processed foods: "I'm choosing health as alignment, not as achievement." Using food choices to align with who you really are and who you're becoming, rather than chasing perfection or performance.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you will explore how to shift your mindset around physical activity, especially during seasons when time and energy feel limited. As the holidays approach, exercise can often fall to the bottom of the priority list. But instead of viewing movement as one more obligation or punishment, this episode invites you to reframe it as a nurturing part of your lifestyle that supports hormone balance, emotional wellbeing, and sustainable energy.How Your Mindset Around Exercise Affects Your HormonesYou will discover how your personal beliefs and emotional relationship with movement play a significant role in whether or not you stay consistent. Whether you rely on exercise to manage stress, avoid it altogether, or feel too busy to make time for it, this episode will guide you through practical mindset shifts. You'll learn how to move away from shame, guilt, and pressure, and toward a mindset that views exercise as a tool to support, not fight, your body.The Benefits of Movement Beyond Weight LossInstead of focusing on calories or weight loss, this episode highlights how movement improves insulin sensitivity, supports hormonal regulation, and elevates mood. You'll discover how even gentle activity, like walking or stretching, can boost feel-good neurotransmitters, improve sleep, reduce cravings, and enhance your cycle health. You'll also hear how customizing your workouts based on your energy levels can help you stay consistent and avoid burnout.Building a Supportive, Joyful Exercise RoutineThe true takeaway from this episode is that exercise doesn't need to feel like a chore. When you begin to view it as a gift to yourself, something that builds physical and mental strength, movement becomes a powerful and enjoyable part of your daily routine. This episode offers the encouragement and perspective shift needed to move forward with grace, energy, and consistency in your PCOS healing journey.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-174

Are you drinking too much coffee for YOU? If so, it could be making your PMS and anxiety worse, even if you're not drinking “that much.”So many women blame their mood swings or breast tenderness on hormones alone, but caffeine plays a much bigger role than we realize. If your symptoms flare up right before your period, it may be that your caffeine tolerance is changing and is affecting your system differently at this time, so your body's minerals, liver, and blood sugar are trying to tell you something.Before you swear off your morning coffee or decide you're totally fine, I want you to understand the full story. Because caffeine isn't the root problem, but it can absolutely make existing hormone issues feel louder, especially during your luteal phase.Here's what you'll hear:How caffeine triggers your stress hormones and why that matters for PMSWhat slow vs. fast caffeine metabolizers experience during their cycleThe best way to drink caffeine so your body actually tolerates it betterThis is not about quitting coffee. It's about using caffeine in a way your body can handle, so your luteal phase doesn't feel like an emotional roller coaster every month. Pop those headphones in, take a walk, and let's get to the bottom of your coffee habits and if they're working for you.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Perimenopause doesn't have to mean weight gain, insulin resistance or muscle loss. In this conversation, Angela sits down with Dr Gabrielle Lyon to unpack why skeletal muscle - not body fat - is the true driver of healthy ageing, metabolic stability and long-term hormonal health. They get into the protein targets women really need (and why the RDA misses the mark), how to use carbs strategically, why fasting after training can backfire, and how resistance exercise rapidly improves blood sugar, triglycerides and metabolic flexibility even in midlife. They also explore the mindset required to become “forever strong” and how building muscle can transform both physical and emotional resilience. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN• Why muscle is the body's most important organ for longevity• What to do if you have PCOS, insulin resistance or midlife blood sugar spikes• How perimenopause accelerates muscle loss - and how to prevent sarcopenic obesity• The real daily protein minimum for women 35+, 40+ and in menopause• The truth about fasted training & whether you need to refuel immediately• Why DEXA vs InBody scans give different results, and how to track progress without them• The minimum training plan women need for strength, stability and metabolic health• How physical strength enhances emotional resilience and mental toughness Timestamps 00:00 Intro: Lifelong Muscle Health03:57 How Much Protein Do You Really Need?07:45 Perimenopause, Muscle Loss & Why Body Composition Changes12:11 Fasted Training: Does It Hurt Hormones or Muscle?14:16 Post-Workout Nutrition: Do You Need to Eat Right After Training?19:13 Fixing Insulin Resistance with Strength Training & Protein23:48 Dexa vs InBody: Best Way to Measure Body Fat & Lean Mass31:41  How Training Transforms Mental Health35:31 Overcoming Gym Intimidation as a Woman37:27  What Rep Ranges Build Muscle?

Today we're talking about gynaecological health. Conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome are more common than might think. Yet they're often misunderstood, frequently undiagnosed, and are all too easily dismissed. That's why it's essential for us to build a clear understanding of these conditions: How lifestyle factors can influence them, and when it's time to seek expert care. America's gynecologist, Dr Jen Ashton, joins me to break down these complex conditions. Helping you to feel more informed and empowered in your own body.
