We absolutely must advocate for women getting access to data about their bodies proactively. Suffering should not be required to receive care.
You cannot make decisions on data you don't know.
This includes:
Reproductive health.
Fertility.
Pregnancy.
Postpartum.
Sexual health.
Perimenopause.
Menopause.
ALL OF IT.

I'm happy for the name change as it is a better reflection of what is really happening with PMOS (formerly PCOS), but explain to me how a metabolic disease has no metabolic criteria on the diagnosis?
Even though we still diagnose based by the Rotterdam criteria (need 2 out of 3)
1. Irregular cycles
2. Androgen signs/symptoms
3. High AFC or ovarian volume
^but the screening and testing needed is much more vast to properly diagnose, manage and take care of women with PMOS. I review all of this in this weeks substack.

Women’s health is too niche.
Hormones are too difficult to understand.
Nobody wants to learn about ovaries.
Women don't need to understand why.
Checking hormones doesn't help.
It's normal to be in pain.
That's just a part of aging.
It's all in her head.
She's crazy or dramatic or demanding.
Everything is normal.

I've heard these phrases over and over in the past decade where I'm been educating about women's health online. There were years I tried to get on stages to talk about ovaries and hormones and periods and I was told, over and over, no. This is not what women want. It's too hard to understand.

But this weekend I was honored to talk on many big stages and with impactful women about the state of women's health and doing something about it this past weekend at Livelong Media™️

I believe women are brilliant and can understand that lack of evidence is not proof of no impact. I believe women deserve nuanced discussions and personalized care. And I believe women should not be forced to fail or suffer before they get the opportunity to understand their health. You can't make decisions on data you don't know, and it's time you understand the data your own body is giving you.

Breaking news from the UK where individuals and couples can now get 2 wks of bereavement leave which includes pregnancy loss and failed embryo transfers.

I always tell my patients that a negative result after an embryo transfer is a loss emotionally and physically, and I'm happy to see that the time required to grieve from pregnancy loss is taken seriously.

I had 4 pregnancy losses, I know how much of a toll there is with each loss, and I would have been a different human if I had been given the opportunity to grieve. I know this isn't the US, but seeing progress made fighting the stigma of loss and supporting those grieving, in any country, is the first step.

I talk about hormones and fertility every day. I'm so honored that you choose to spend your time reading, listening, and asking me questions. Women deserve to be trusted and believed. You must know the basics about your body in order to advocate for your health. You deserve to know how to control what you can and optimize your own hormone health and fertility. Every day, you humble me with thoughtful questions, incredible praise and brilliant ideas of what to do next. You all inspire me with your stories and vulnerability and strength. Thank you for being my why. 🩷

It was such an incredible day to be on the women's health panel at The Wellness Oasis ® and I'm such a fan of everything Jared Schoenfeld is creating. Huge thanks to Bukhman Philanthropies and Daria Bukhman for making today possible for us all. 💛

It is not normal to go through menopause early, even if it is becoming more common.
