A candid Q&A about PCOS, GLP-1s, and breast cancer with the SHEMD team

In this episode, Jess and Wendy sit down with Dr. Thais Aliabadi (Dr. A) and Mary Alice Haney, co-hosts of the SHE MD podcast, for an in-depth conversation about PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). They explore why more women are being diagnosed with PCOS, debunk common misconceptions about the condition, and discuss the diagnostic criteria that many doctors miss. Dr. A shares insights on treating PCOS beyond birth control pills, the role of insulin resistance, and her experience using GLP-1 medications for patients. The conversation also tackles body image considerations, the importance of proper nutrition support, and why every woman should know their lifetime breast cancer risk. Whether you have PCOS or want to better understand this common but often misdiagnosed condition, this episode offers valuable, empowering information to help you become your own health advocate.
