If you've been inundated with people talking about hormone health online, you're not alone… it's definitely a big trend. And in some ways, I am happy it is. As a dietitian, I know how common reproductive issues like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are and I also know how little we talk about them. But there is another side to this hormone health trend, one that is a little less helpful. Like the misinformation about how soy affects your hormones. Or, telling us we have to seed cycle in order to get our menstrual cycles on track. The internet is bombarding us with information - some valuable, others downright harmful - and we need a little help setting it straight.  So this week, as the final episode in our miniseries on hormone health, we're speaking with Rohini Bajekal, a evidence-informed nutritionist and co-author of Living PCOS Free, which she wrote with her mother, an Allsorts Podcast fave, Dr Nitu Bajekal MD. Rohini generously shares her own experiences with PCOS, her frustrating efforts in trying out online advice, and how she developed a solid, evidence-based lifestyle approach for caring for hormone health. This episode shines a light on all too common reproductive conditions that often go undiagnosed. We talk about whether or not you can actually “balance” your hormones and what the research says about nutrients and dietary patterns that do - and do not - help you heal. About Rohini Bajekal MSc: Rohini Bajekal is a nutritionist with a first class Master's degree in Nutrition and Food Sciences and a board-certified Lifestyle Medicine professional. She is the co-author of Living PCOS Free: How to Regain Your Hormonal Health with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which she wrote with her mother, ObGyn Dr Nitu Bajekal. On this episode we chat about: What do we mean by “hormone health”? Why you need to be incredibly cautious with hormone health info online How leaving her plant-based home revealed a huge change in Rohini's health Mental health and mood in gynecological conditions like PCOS Keto vs plant-based for hormone health Maintaining balanced blood sugars with plant foods The nutrients that matter for hormone health The link between endometriosis and IBS The risks of underfueling and malnutrition Some real talk on supplements Support the Pod! We couldn't make this podcast happen without the support of our amazing listeners… I love hearing your feedback on these episodes to be sure to join the conversation on our instagram @theallsortspod @desireenielsenrd @rohinibajekal as well as in our Nutrition with Desiree community.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the most misunderstood - and overlooked - endocrine disorders affecting women and those assigned female at birth. For example, did you know that as high as 3 out of 4 women with PCOS will NEVER be diagnosed? Or, that PCOS is a close cousin of type two diabetes? 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.

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.
