#802. REPEAT OUR GREATEST HIT EPISODES: Ladies, this is an important conversation! Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, board-certified OB/GYN, joins Kaitlyn to educate and empower women to advocate for their health. For far too long, women have been dismissed in the doctor’s office with significant health concerns going undiagnosed. And, you know what? Enough is enough! Are you experiencing irregular periods? Do you have acne? Do you have male pattern hair loss? Well, you could have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Dr. Aliabadi explains what PCOS is, how to self-diagnose, and shares steps to manage symptoms. She also sheds light on another commonly undiagnosed disease affecting fertility—endometriosis. Knowledge is power; remember, painful periods are NOT normal, and you’re not alone! If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!
