DHEA is one of the most misunderstood hormones in the coaching and health space, and most of the social media conversation around it either oversells the supplement or misses the underlying physiology entirely. Inside today's episode, I break down DHEA and DHEA sulfate, the difference between the two. *NOTE: in this episode I refer to PMOS as PCOS - to learn more about PMOS, check out episode S 905Topics discussed: - DHEA vs DHEA Sulfate- The DHEA-to-Cortisol Ratio- Menstrual Cycle Testing Considerations- Age-Related Decline Patterns- Causes of Low DHEA Sulfate- Hyperandrogenic PCOS and Male PCOS Presentation- Oral Contraceptives and Testosterone Restoration- Immune Effects and Autoimmune Applications- Postmenopausal Supplementation- Cognition, Stress, and Where Supplements Fall Short---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance, and Persistent Muscle & Joint Pain: A Functional Medicine Framework: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses perimenopausal musculoskeletal symptoms—new or persistent joint pain, muscle aches, and tendon problems—and highlights a Clinician's Journal article by physical therapist Tara Moore proposing insulin resistance screening in perimenopausal musculoskeletal care. She explains that declining estradiol during the menopausal transition can worsen insulin signaling, increase visceral fat, and reduce insulin sensitivity, affecting skeletal muscle recovery and potentially contributing to tendinopathies and poor or short-lived responses to localized treatments like PT. The framework emphasizes assessing systemic metabolic contributors (e.g., sedentary behavior, high-carbohydrate nutrition patterns, PCOS, central weight gain, stress, sleep disruption) and addressing mediators such as inflammation and impaired glucose utilization. She suggests integrating metabolic risk assessment, sleep and stress strategies, resistance training, and interdisciplinary referrals, arguing that nutrition and supplementation—especially a low-carb approach—may improve recovery and pain outcomes.

today we have one of my favorite people ever, Erika Hoang, a wellness and lifestyle creator who started in this industry by documenting her own journey coming off of hormonal birth control. She has learned to thrive with PCOS and is living FULLY symptom free...today she is sharing exactly how she got to that point through her highs and lows of this diagnosis.

Send us Fan MailWhen your blood tests come back normal and your doctor sends you on your way, that's not a diagnosis – that's a dismissal. In this episode, I follow Priya, a self-employed autistic woman in her late 30s whose 18 months of worsening fatigue, hair loss, skin changes, and irregular periods have been met with advice to exercise more and download a mindfulness app.I walk you through why "normal bloods" and "everything's fine" are not the same thing, which conditions are routinely missed in fat patients, and what it actually looks like when a doctor does their job properly.Because basic care isn't heroics.

We're told that we can have it all if we time it right: build your career first, then start a family. But what does the medicine actually say? Amanda Goetz sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at RMA of New York and author of the USA Today bestseller The Lucky Egg. Dr. Lucky busts the biggest fertility myths (no, your fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35), explains why so-called "fertility checks" are mostly marketing, and breaks down the real difference between freezing eggs and freezing embryos. She also flips the script on a part of the story we tend to ignore—male-factor infertility, which accounts for roughly half of cases—and why family building is a team sport. Women shouldn't carry all the burden! It's an honest, science-forward, and surprisingly reassuring conversation about the fertility knowledge gap—and how it's okay to not have it all figured out in your 20s. . This episode gets into both the emotional and physical considerations of fertility treatment, and we think it's a worthwhile listen, regardless of what stage of life you might find yourself in—and even if you're undecided on the whole kids thing. Key Takeaways: Fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35. It's a gradual continuum, and many women conceive naturally into their 30s and 40s. AMH measures egg count, not fertility, and a low number shouldn't cause panic. Most pop-in or at-home "fertility checks" are marketing. No single test can predict whether you'll struggle to conceive. Start paying attention in your 20s by understanding your cycle and spotting red flags like PCOS or endometriosis. And pay attention to your family history. Freezing eggs and freezing embryos are different—eggs offer more flexibility and stay solely yours, while embryos give clearer answers but need both partners' sign-off. When choosing a clinic, ask about its actual thaw and IVF success rates, not just whether you like the doctor. Male-factor infertility is something we need to talk more about. Every day stress doesn't cause infertility, but insulin resistance is an under-recognized and treatable driver worth checking.

Dr. Shivani Gupta returns to the podcast to share what she has learned since writing her new Hay House book, The Inflammation Code. In this conversation we explore why inflammation is rising so dramatically in modern life and how that plays into fertility, hormone balance, and overall vitality. Dr. Shivani breaks down the three doshas in Ayurveda, which she calls Elemental Design, and explains how understanding your own makeup of air, fire, and earth can help you choose the foods, rhythms, and rituals that actually nourish your body. We also talk about Mental Inflammation, circadian living, the healing power of nature, and why modern life keeps so many women stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shivani shares the science behind turmeric, why absorption matters, and when to use it and when to pause it during IVF and transfer windows. This is a grounded, practical conversation about returning to ancient wisdom in a way that feels doable in real life.   Key Takeaways: Inflammation is rising because of environmental toxins, processed foods, chronic stress, and constant mental stimulation. The body is living in survival mode rather than thriving. Ayurveda teaches that each of us has a unique Elemental Design made of air, fire, and earth. Knowing your primary and secondary doshas helps you choose foods, rhythms, and rituals that bring you back into balance. Mental Inflammation is a real physiological state created by constant phone use, email, and sympathetic activation. It feeds physical inflammation, and physical inflammation feeds it back. Living in rhythm with nature's circadian clock is one of the most powerful and free tools we have. Walking outside, eating seasonally, and sleeping from 10 to 2 supports lymphatic clearance and reduces inflammation. Preparing the body for conception through gentle detoxification, nourishment, and tissue health is the same work that supports vibrancy through perimenopause. A vibrant body is a fertile body. Turmeric is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatories we have, but absorption matters. Black pepper and healthy fats increase bioavailability significantly. Turmeric can support fertility conditions linked to inflammation such as endometriosis, PCOS, and recurrent implantation challenges, but it should be paused during IVF cycles and transfer windows because it thins the blood and can thin the uterine lining. Supplementation should be phased with the guidance of a practitioner. Every season of the body calls for a different protocol. About the guest: Dr. Shivani Gupta is an Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and speaker who blends classical Ayurveda with functional medicine to help women calm inflammation, balance hormones, and restore energy. With a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a PhD focused on turmeric, she translates ancient wisdom into simple daily rituals, including Elemental Design personalization, Mental Inflammation resets, gut and estrobolome support, and spice-based micro-habits. Her new book, The Inflammation Code (Hay House, February 2026), is a practical, non-diet system for cooling chronic inflammation to improve brain fog, bloat, pain, sleep, and mood. Dr. Shivani is the host of the Fusionary Health Podcast and creator of the Emmy-nominated TV show Vibrant Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta.

PCOS and Fertility Deserve a Better ConversationIn this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, Ashlene takes on one of the most emotionally loaded topics in the PCOS world: fertility. If you have been scared by your diagnosis, told to wait, or feel uncertain about what PCOS means for your future, this episode offers a more honest, more complete, and more hopeful picture.PCOS Is Not an Infertility SentenceWhile PCOS can create ovulation and fertility challenges, challenges are not destiny. Many women with PCOS conceive. The outcome depends far less on the diagnosis and far more on what is actually driving the hormonal disruption, and what is done to support it.Why Ovulation Matters Before ConceptionOvulation is the foundational fertility conversation with PCOS. Without consistent ovulation, conception cannot happen. And with PCOS, ovulation is the piece most commonly disrupted. This episode explains what ovulation requires, what disrupts it, and why understanding those drivers matters so much.The Missing Middle Step Most Women Never GetBetween waiting and immediate intervention, there is a step that most women with PCOS never receive: understanding. Why is this happening? What is the body responding to? What would need to change for ovulation to occur more reliably? This episode explains why that step matters and what it looks like in practice.Ashlene's Personal Fertility StoryTwelve months of being told to wait. A PCOS diagnosis. Four months to get a fertility specialist appointment. And in that window, building her own understanding of what her body needed. Getting pregnant before Clomid ever started. This is the story that shaped the work Ashlene does today.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause herePCOS Root Cause Bootcamp WaitlistLet'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-184

This one will step on all of our toes (including mine!) Women who do everything "right" - the supplements, the sleep hygiene, the breakfast protocols - are still struggling. And the reason isn't what most practitioners will tell you. It has nothing to do with the magnesium you forgot to take or the genetics you were handed. The root cause goes deeper than that, to something a little more uncomfortable to look at: how you're actually showing up in your life, day to day.If stress is coming in faster than it's going out, and if energy is leaving faster than it's being replenished, physically and emotionally, your brain receives a very clear signal: not safe. And a body that doesn't feel safe will not balance its hormones. Full stop. And I say that as someone who has had to look at her own life and ask some hard questions about it.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:Why your symptoms might actually be serving you - and I mean this in the most uncomfortable, eye-opening way possible. (Spoiler: a free pass to be grumpy for one week a month is still a pass you're cashing in)The stress math no one talks about - what happens when more is coming in than going out, and why the women who seem to be doing the most are often the ones running the biggest deficit without even realizing itWhat I've been working on in my own life - including something a coach I love shared about the words you speak over yourself every day, and why what you're saying before 8 am might be keeping your nervous system stuck in a way no supplement can fixIf you've ever thought "I know what I should do, I just can't seem to make myself do it", that sentence alone is worth sitting with after you listen.This one is for you if you're holding everything together but running on empty. If you wouldn't totally mind a migraine once a month just to have one day when nobody expects anything from you. (Yes, I said it. Yes, I've felt it too.)Grab something warm, maybe a journal, and hit play. I'd really love to hear what comes up for you when you listen.Fix Your Breakfast, Fix Your Hormones Podcast CourseNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

PCOS affects an estimated 170 million women worldwide during their reproductive years yet as many as 70% of those affected remain undiagnosed, according the World Health Organization. Experts hope that will change following the condition's recent renaming to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), a term they say better reflects its impact on the whole body, not just the ovaries. So what is it like to live with the condition?We spoke to 35-year-old Bianca Chenai from Zimbabwe, and 25-year-old Ghanaian, Juliana Naa Dede who have been living with PMOS from a young age. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash and Basma El Atti Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Priya Sippy and Carolyne Kiambo Jotham Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his team answer three listener questions that go deeper than most: BPC-157 for osteopenia at 35 and the full food-first bone density protocol, what to do when you live within a mile of a golf course and have Hashimoto's while pregnant, and ovarian cysts with a doctor who only offers birth control. They also cover the PCOS-to-PMOS name change — what it means clinically, why functional medicine has known about the metabolic component for years, and whether the timing of the rebrand is a little too convenient given the GLP-1 explosion.

“What if your bloating, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, stubborn weight gain, and hormone symptoms are actually starting in your gut?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith — dual board-certified endocrinologist, founder of Modern Endocrine, and author of Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones — to unpack the powerful connection between gut health, hormone balance, stress, metabolism, inflammation, and reproductive health. Together, they dive into how chronic stress, poor gut health, blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, and lifestyle overload silently impact everything from cortisol and insulin to estrogen, progesterone, thyroid function, and fertility. Dr. Cassie explains why so many women are told their labs are “normal” while still feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, inflamed, and disconnected from their bodies — and why gut dysfunction is often the missing piece conventional medicine overlooks. They also explore the growing metabolic and hormonal crisis happening in younger women, the connection between PCOS, insulin resistance, gut dysfunction, and birth control, and why many women are struggling to restore healthy cycles and fertility later in life. This conversation is a powerful reminder that hormones do not work in isolation. Your gut, nervous system, metabolism, sleep, stress resilience, and hormones are all deeply interconnected. If you've been feeling like your body is trying to tell you something but nobody has connected the dots yet, this episode will help you understand where healing truly begins. DR. CASSIE SMITH Dr. Cassie Smith is a dual board-certified endocrinologist and the founder of Modern Endocrine. After becoming frustrated with the limitations of conventional medicine, she built a practice focused on uncovering the root causes behind hormone dysfunction, metabolic issues, fertility struggles, and gut-related symptoms. She is also the author of the book Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones. IN THIS EPISODE Why chronic stress has such a powerful impact on gut health and hormones How gut dysfunction contributes to fatigue, brain fog, bloating, anxiety, and weight resistance The connection between estrogen decline, microbiome diversity, and inflammation Why insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction are rising in younger women The hidden relationship between PCOS, gut health, cortisol, and fertility Why birth control is often used as a Band-Aid instead of addressing root causes The foundational lifestyle habits that support gut and hormone healing Why slowing down, resting, and reducing nervous system overload matters for recovery QUOTES “Your hormones are doing the best they can in the environment you give them.” “It doesn't matter how many supplements or hormones we throw at you if the foundations aren't in place.” “Your gut is where all healing begins.” “Your body cannot heal in survival mode.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get your “Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones” Book by Dr. Cassie Smith https://guthormonefix.com/ ⁠Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Modern Endocrine Website Modern Endocrine Instagram Modern Endocrine Facebook Modern Endocrine Tiktok Modern Endocrine Youtube Hormones, Metabolism and You PodcastThe Menopause Gut Book by Cynthia Thurlow RELATED EPISODES  741: Estrogen, Gut Health, Mitochondria, and Cardiovascular Health: What Changes In Perimenopause with Dr. Siobhan Mitchel 743: Why Your Heart Risk Changes in Menopause (And What You Can Do About It) with Dr. Jayne Morgan 738: The Hidden Link Between Inflammation, Hormones & Fertility with Dr. Natalie Crawford  740: Why You're Bloated, Gaining Weight & Feeling Off in Menopause (It Starts in Your Gut) with Cynthia Thurlow

What if the "final frontier" of fertility care is not IVF technology, but the aging ovary itself? Can science help improve egg quality, mitochondrial function, and reproductive lifespan? And how do patients sort through what is proven, what is promising, and what is still very much in the "ask your doctor before you try this" category? In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine welcomes reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Roohi Jeelani for a fascinating conversation about ovarian rejuvenation, age-related fertility decline, and the future of fertility treatment.  Together, they discuss why age remains one of the biggest factors in IVF success, how egg quality changes over time, and why topics like oxidative stress, mitochondrial health, inflammation, and lifestyle optimization are becoming such important parts of the fertility conversation.

What if the very thing you believe is helping you get pregnant is actually keeping your body from feeling safe enough to conceive?Many women approach fertility the same way they've achieved success in every other area of life—through hard work, planning, research, and taking action.

If You Are Exhausted, There May Be More Going OnIn this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, Ashlene takes on one of the most misunderstood PCOS symptoms: fatigue. If you feel like you are always tired, foggy, inconsistent, and frustrated with yourself for not doing more, this episode reframes everything. Low energy is not laziness. It is often one of the clearest forms of body feedback available.Why Fatigue Happens with PCOSBlood sugar instability, cortisol dysregulation, disrupted sleep quality, chronic inflammation, under-fueling, and hormonal imbalance can all contribute to the kind of fatigue that does not respond to more caffeine or more pressure. This episode breaks down each driver clearly so you can start to identify which ones may be relevant for your body.Why Self-Blame and Pressure Make It WorseThe instinct to push through exhaustion with willpower is understandable, but physiologically, it often deepens the problem. More cortisol, worse sleep, more fatigue. This episode explains the hormonal loop that keeps women stuck and why the way out is not more discipline.What the Body May Actually Be Asking ForStable nourishment, better circadian rhythms, smarter movement, improved sleep quality, and a reduction in the chaos load. This section gets specific about what tends to help, and why the approach of working with the body instead of against it changes the entire experience.What Changes When Energy ImprovesConsistency becomes easier. Food choices stabilize. Cycle signaling can improve. This episode connects energy to every other outcome women with PCOS care about and explains why it is foundational, not optional.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause herePCOS Root Cause Bootcamp WaitlistLet'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-183

Dr. Kamilia Smith joins us for an eye-opening conversation about the evolving understanding of PCOS, and why it was renamed PMOS (Poly Endocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), and what this shift means for women's health, hormones, fertility, and treatment moving forward.For years, PCOS has been treated primarily as an ovarian or reproductive disorder, but Dr. Smith explains why the ovaries may actually be the messenger — not the root cause. We explore the growing understanding of the metabolic, hormonal, and whole-body factors that impact women's health.We also discuss GLP-1 medications, insulin resistance, body composition, fertility, migraines, depression, movement, and how moms can support their daughters without fear or overreacting to symptoms.This conversation is packed with practical insight, hope, and a much more compassionate approach to women's health.In this episode, we cover: Why PCOS has been misunderstood for decades The connection between hormones, metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammation Why the ovaries may be signaling a deeper metabolic issue Common symptoms like weight struggles, excess hair growth, irregular periods, and prediabetes How GLP-1 medications are changing women's healthcare Fertility improvements women are experiencing with metabolic treatment Small lifestyle shifts that can make a major impact Advice for moms navigating hormone concerns with their daughters Connect with Dr. Kamilia Smith:  Website: Kamilia Smith Voted Best Dallas Gynecologist | Charleston House  Instagram: Charleston House - Whole Woman Care (@charlestonhousegyn) Facebook: Charleston House Gynecology Related Episodes: Perimenopause Guide: Managing Symptoms, Emotional Changes, and Weight Gain During Hormonal Shifts :: Dr. Kamilia Smith [Ep 511] Is This Normal?

Are you going to feel good all summer, or hit August wondering why you became a different person from the neck up? Summer always feels like the healthiest (and happiest) season - lighter food, a few drinks at the barbecue, more movement, sunshine, a slower pace. So why do so many women feel worse in July and August than any other time of year?Turns out, summer is one of the sneakiest seasons for progesterone. It's because everything you do looks completely right and healthy, but the habits that look the most innocent are the ones that cause harm. And your body keeps a running tab. So by mid-July, it starts sending you the bill, in the form of PMS that's crept back, mood swings you thought you'd fixed, and that specific kind of exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to touch.I'd like you to know: this is not a willpower problem. Your body is just running on less safety than it needs to make progesterone, and it's been doing that since May.Here's what we get into:The summer-specific breakfast habit that feels like a healthy upgrade but spikes your cortisol every single morning (yes, even the organic macro-balanced version)Why your luteal phase in July and August is almost always the worst of the year, and the one thing that actually protects itWhat GLP-1s and rapid summer weight loss do to your estrogen and progesterone, and what to watch for if this is you (or your friend)No one is telling you to skip the barbecue or eat a hot breakfast in a heatwave. This is an honest conversation that helps you actually feel good when August gets here, instead of just surviving it.If you've ever looked at your calendar in September and thought, "Okay, now I actually have to fix myself," this episode is for you. Because the fix is a lot simpler than a full reset, and it starts right now, in June, before compounding even has a chance to happen.Pop it on while you're making dinner tonight. It's about 20 minutes, and it might be the most useful thing you'll listen to all summer.Fix Your Breakfast, Fix Your Hormones Podcast CourseE57: How Much Does Alcohol REALLY Impact Your Hormones?NEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Anxiety and chronic illness are rarely talked about together and almost never in the way that actually matters.Because the anxiety most women with chronic illness carry is not about their life. It is about their own body. And that specific fear, being afraid of the one thing you can never get distance from, creates an emotional pattern that quietly changes your relationship with your body in ways that make healing significantly harder. In this mini, you'll discover:Why anxiety about your own body is fundamentally different from any other kind of fear — and why it never switches offHow that fear pulls you out of your body and turns you into someone who surveils it rather than someone who lives in itOne powerful question that reveals exactly where your relationship with your body stands right nowIf you want to understand which emotional patterns may be driving your specific symptoms, use my free ChatGPT prompt to find out in under 30 seconds.

On this deeply personal episode of SHE MD, co-host Mary Alice Haney sits down with her lifelong best friend, Stacey Hunt, to share the story of how listening to the podcast led Stacey to advocate for herself, and ultimately, catch her breast cancer early enough to save her life.After hearing the Olivia Munn episode and learning about lifetime breast cancer risk assessments, dense breast tissue, and the importance of MRIs for high-risk women, Stacey decided to take action. Despite having a recent “clear” mammogram and no symptoms, she pushed for additional testing after learning her lifetime risk score was 28%. That MRI revealed a tiny invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; something her mammogram missed entirely.Together, Stacey, Mary Alice, and Thais Aliabadi have an emotional and eye-opening conversation about self-advocacy, early detection, dense breasts, genetic testing, the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, reconstruction options, menopause after cancer, and the emotional toll that comes with survivorship. This episode is both a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives and a call for every woman to know her lifetime risk of breast cancer.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Inspired by the podcast's conversations around breast cancer risk assessments and early detection, Stacey advocated for additional screening despite having a recent negative mammogram and no symptoms. Her persistence led to the discovery of an early-stage invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; a diagnosis that may have otherwise gone undetected for years.In this powerful episode, Stacey shares her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, self-advocacy, treatment, and recovery, offering an inspiring reminder of the importance of knowing your risk, trusting your instincts, and speaking up for your health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when GLP-1s interact with eating disorders?About 1 in 8 US adults are currently taking a GLP-1. They've been described by a lot of people as a miracle drug – they treat high blood sugar and diabetes, and have also shown promise as a treatment for addiction and metabolic conditions like PMOS, formerly known as PCOS. And a lot of Americans are taking it for one reason: weight loss. But for people with eating disorders, that weight loss could be dangerous. So even though GLP-1s are a miracle drug for many struggling with certain health conditions – what does it mean that they're becoming incredibly available to everyone? And how do we reckon with their place in a culture that prioritizes thinness… sometimes to the point of real danger to someone's health?Brittany is joined by Dr. Allegra Broft, a psychiatrist and an assistant professor at Columbia University Medical Center who specializes in eating disorders, and Hannah Seo, an independent journalist who wrote about GLP-1s and eating disorders for The Guardian.For more episodes about weight, body image, and culture, check out:Peptides & the pursuit of the "perfect" bodyThe difference between losing weight & being "healthy"The strange politics of PilatesSupport Public Media.

NAD is the molecule in every cell that powers your energy — and there's a kind of exhaustion, the kind a good night's sleep and a weekend off can't fix, that comes from running low on it. If you're a woman in your 40s, 50s, or 60s caring for aging parents while raising kids and running a career — the sandwich generation — that depletion is real, and it's happening at the cellular level. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf sits down with Mona Rosene, MS, RD, Global Director of Scientific Affairs at Niagen Bioscience, to explore NAD — the coenzyme that powers your mitochondria and fuels over 500 metabolic processes. NAD drops roughly 65% between the ages of 30 and 70, and chronic stress, menopause, poor sleep, and illness deplete it even faster. Mona explains what that means for your energy, brain fog, hormones, and inflammation — and what you can actually do about it.

Pregnancy advice for active women is changing, and not a moment too soon. I'm Christina Prevett, a pelvic floor physical therapist and researcher in exercise and pregnancy, and I'm sharing three timely topics that keep showing up in the women's health and birth space, along with the lived reality of training while pregnant after previous losses.First, I break down the proposed PCOS name change to PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). The criteria for diagnosis and the core management approach are not suddenly rewritten, but the new language spotlights what many people with PCOS feel every day: this is more than “cysts on ovaries.” We talk androgen excess, insulin resistance, and why metabolic and endocrine risk matters for long-term health, fertility, and future cardiovascular disease and diabetes prevention. I also name the downside: PCOS is already underrecognized, and a transition can create confusion if education does not keep pace.Then I dig into the new FIFA “Stay In Play” pregnancy decision aid for soccer athletes, a major step forward for pregnant athletes in so-called contact sports. Instead of a blanket ban, it uses shared decision-making and a biopsychosocial screen, looking at mental health, fear of movement, pelvic health symptoms, recovery, support, and contraindications. I walk through the stage-based framework that lets athletes modify, pause, or progress based on pain, preference, and medical clearance, not arbitrary week-by-week rules.We close with pregnancy after miscarriage and loss. I say this clearly: exercise does not cause miscarriage, and your loss is not your fault. But anxiety is real, and it makes sense if you choose to train differently in that vulnerable first trimester.

If you've been told you have PCOS — or maybe you were told you might have it and that's where the conversation stopped — this episode is for you. We're talking about what is actually happening inside your body with PMOS: the blood sugar instability, the inflammation, the gut connection, and why advice like "just lose weight" or "just go low carb" completely misses the mark. I'm also walking you through how I use the Dutch test in my practice to find the primary driver of your symptoms so we stop guessing and actually start getting somewhere.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why PCOS was officially renamed PMOS — and why that name change actually matters for youHow insulin resistance drives androgens up and why your body behaves so differently than someone without PMOS doing the exact same thingsWhy inflammation is likely the primary reason weight loss feels impossible — and why nobody has ever told you thatThe gut dysbiosis loop that keeps PMOS symptoms cycling and why carnivore or extreme low carb gives temporary relief before making things worseWhat the Dutch test actually shows on paper for a woman with PMOS — and why a standard serum lab draw keeps telling you everything looks fineWhy eating less is not the answer and what your body actually needs to start feeling betterWhat's included in the complete hormone package and how to get startedTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Welcome & Who This Episode Is For02:19 The Name Change: PCOS to PMOS08:56 What's Actually Happening In Your Body10:07 Blood Sugar Instability & Insulin Resistance12:27 Inflammation: The Primary Driver Nobody Talks About13:56 The Gut Connection & Gut Dysbiosis17:50 Why Carnivore & Low Carb Are Temporary Fixes20:32 The Dutch Test Story for PMOS23:18 What She Actually Needs Instead26:31 The Complete Hormone PackageRESOURCES:

Have you done all the right things and still spent two weeks a month feeling like a completely different, much less pleasant person? I get it.Most PMS and PMDD conversations stop at estrogen and progesterone. But if you're still dealing with mood swings, brain fog, or symptoms that show up around ovulation, too, there's a piece nobody's named for you yet. It's histamine. And before you say, "I don't have allergies" - that's not what we're talking about here. In this episode, I'm walking you through why histamine can be a very real driver of your hormonal symptoms, why it tends to spike at two specific points in your cycle, and what's actually going on underneath that your body has been trying to flag.You'll learn:The estrogen-histamine feedback loop that makes symptoms spike at two points in your cycle, including mid-cycle, when you're supposed to feel goodThe specific signs that point to histamine as a contributing factor in your PMS/ PMDD Why supplements like DAO enzyme or Quercetin can help temporarily, and what the real question is that nobody's askingIf histamine has never once crossed your mind as a reason you feel terrible two weeks out of the month - buckle up, because this episode is about to make a lot of things click.And if you're currently tracking your basal body temperatures and your PMS is still not where you want it to be, I have something for a few of you at the end of this episode.

New research suggests that low-dose peptide therapy may help calm histamine-driven inflammation and mast cell activation in people with stubborn symptoms like food reactions, brain fog, fatigue, flushing, itching, hives, bloating, and digestive distress. In this episode, Dr. Ruscio explains how the gut, histamine, and mast cells are connected, what the latest human research shows, and why this approach may help some patients who haven't fully responded to diets, supplements, or other natural therapies.  

In this episode, Lisa  continues her PCOS series by reviewing a newly published research letter titled "Ovarian Cysts in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome", a cross-sectional analysis of nearly 2,000 women asking one key question: do women with PCOS actually have more pathological ovarian cysts than women without PCOS? Contrary to what the name implies, the study found no statistically significant difference in pathological ovarian cysts between the two groups. Lisa contextualizes these findings within a foundational understanding of the menstrual cycle, explaining how insulin resistance may interfere with the normal progression toward ovulation, resulting in arrested follicular development rather than the presence of abnormal cysts.

You probably know someone who has a condition that, until last week, was known as PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome. It affects one in eight reproductive-aged women. But despite it being such a common disorder, patients are often misdiagnosed and have delayed treatment. Now, medical professionals are trying to change that. After 15 years of work, the condition has been renamed to PMOS, or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. The new name reflects the real driver of the condition: disruptions in hormones. But how much can changing a name really do? Click here to access resources about PMOS in multiple languages. Interested in more science?
