257: Understanding PCOS, Endometriosis, and Fertility with SHE MD’s Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney
In this episode, I sit down with SHE MD’s Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney to discuss all things fertility, PCOS, and endometriosis and why knowing your own body is essential, wherever you are on your fertility journey. We talk about how Mary Alice and Dr A first met and why starting the SHE MD podcast felt like kismet, and Dr. A explains what PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is and why it’s so prevalent right now. Dr. A discusses steps you can take to reverse PCOS, the emotional catharsis that comes with a diagnosis, and the non-negotiables for preparing your body for optimal fertility at any stage. We also talk about endometriosis, which symptoms to look for, and various methods for suppressing it. Finally, we discuss the option of VBACs (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) and why women’s symptoms so often get dismissed in medicine.
