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.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is responsible for 9–30% of pregnancy-related mortality in high resource countries and remains a significant, increasing cause of severe maternal morbidity. Peripartum, 50% of VTE events occur in the postpartum interval, which has a 6-fold higher risk compared to antepartum. There is wide variation in LMWH pharmacological postpartum prophylaxis guidance. The RCOG, for example, recommends 10 days of LMWH for all postop CS patients unless it was elective, and additional risk factors exist. The ACOG uses a more selective approach. However, on Jan 16, 2025, a new multicenter retrospective study from the US is raising questions about the efficacy of postpartum VTE pharmacologic therapy. Is there really no need for pp VTE pharmacologic therapy? Or does the answer lie in the reality of VTE as a “low frequency, high acuity” event? Listen in for details!

The SMFM, ACOG and RCOG all recommend screening for Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS) in women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL). However, once identified, there has been controversy historically regarding the best TIME to initiate low dose aspirin and prophylactic LMWH. The main controversy regarding this is whether to begin treatment before a confirmed pregnancy, right after a positive pregnancy test, or only after an ultrasound confirms a viable fetus; with some studies suggesting potential benefits from starting earlier, while others debate the optimal timing due to lack of conclusive evidence and potential risks associated with early anticoagulation. Nonetheless, we DO HAVE current guidance here to make an evidence-based plan of care for these patients. In this episode, we will summarize a recent Clinical Expert Series from the ACOG (May 2024) and the RCOG (June 2023). PLUS, we will highlight some persistent controversies surrounding APS and RPL.
