My guest is Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, MD, board-certified OB/GYN, surgeon and leading expert in women's health. We discuss polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, two very common yet frequently undiagnosed causes of female infertility. Dr. Aliabadi explains the symptoms, underlying causes and evidence-based treatments for both conditions, including supplement and lifestyle interventions. We also discuss breast cancer risk and screening, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause, and the hormone tests that women should request. This conversation offers empowering, potentially life-changing information for women of all ages to take control of their hormone, reproductive and overall health.Episode show notes: https://go.hubermanlab.com/mDpyoTsThank you to our sponsorsAGZ by AG1: https://drinkagz.com/hubermanLingo: https://hellolingo.com/hubermanOur Place: https://fromourplace.com/hubermanJoovv: https://joovv.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanFunction: https://functionhealth.com/hubermanFollow Huberman LabInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: https://www.threads.net/@hubermanlabX: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-hubermanWebsite: https://www.hubermanlab.com Newsletter: https://www.hubermanlab.com/newsletterDr. Thaïs AliabadiMedical website: https://www.draliabadi.com SheMD podcast: https://www.shemdpodcast.com/episodes SheMD website & resources: https://www.shemdpodcast.com The Women’s Health Blog: https://www.draliabadi.com/womens-health-blogOvii Health: https://ovii.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drthaisaliabadi/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrThaisAliabadi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThaisAliabadiMd LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-thais-aliabadi-1232a392 Timestamps00:00:00 Thaïs Aliabadi00:02:56 Why Endometriosis & Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Go Undiagnosed00:08:16 Infertility, Tool: Early Screening00:10:54 Sponsors: Lingo & Our Place00:14:07 Women’s Health Education Gap00:15:24 PCOS Overview: Symptoms, Diagnosis, AMH, Disordered Eating00:21:28 Irregular Periods, Teenage PCOS Diagnosis00:24:36 Diagnosis, Pelvic Ultrasound; PCOS Naming00:27:49 Thinning Hair & Acne; 4 PCOS Phenotypes; Mood & Treatment00:35:54 Underlying Pillars of PCOS; HPA Axis, Androgens, Menstruation & Ovulation00:40:30 Insulin Resistance & PCOS, Visceral Fat & Inflammation00:46:30 Sponsors: AGZ by AG1 & Joovv00:49:10 PCOS, Chronic Inflammation, Genetics & Lifestyle; Mood00:52:31 PCOS, Fertility, Freezing Eggs, Tool: Egg Count & AMH Range By Age00:58:34 Women’s Health Education, AI, Clinicians; Cataracts Analogy01:01:20 Stress; PCOS Treatment, Birth Control, Insulin Resistance & Metformin01:06:44 PCOS Risk Calculator, Supplements, Lifestyle Factors; GLP-1s01:12:32 Berberine, Metformin; GLP-1s, Food Anxiety & Alcohol01:19:13 PCOS Prescriptions & Fertility; PCOS Co-Occurrence with Endometriosis01:21:56 Sponsor: LMNT01:23:16 PCOS Treatment, Freezing Eggs, Egg Quality; Advocate For Your Health01:32:02 PCOS Key Takeaways: Symptoms, Tests, Supplements & Lifestyle01:36:03 Undiagnosed Endometriosis, Fertility01:39:26 Endometriosis: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Painful Periods, Infertility01:42:30 Male vs Female Health Issues, Undiagnosed Endometriosis01:47:01 Inflammation, Ectopic Implants, Chronic Pelvic Pain; Adenomyosis01:50:36 Egg Quality, Endometriosis, Tools: Egg Counts; Pelvic Ultrasound01:54:29 Sponsor: Function01:56:13 Pain & Health Testing, Tool: Endometriosis Symptoms, Screening & Tests02:01:32 Treatment, Surgery, Different Types of Endometriosis02:05:22 Endometriosis Causes, Inflammation; Incidence, PCOS02:11:58 Obstetrics & Gynecology Separation, Surgery 02:16:00 Endometriosis Key Takeaways: Symptoms, Treatment & Diagnosis02:17:04 Treatment, Estrogen & Progesterone, Birth Control, GnRH Antagonists02:22:39 Endometriosis Stage & Pain, Endometriosis Types02:23:49 Pregnancy; Postpartum Depression, Menopause; Frustration for Patients02:29:55 Fibroids, Surgery, Uterine Septum, Tool: Pelvic Ultrasound02:34:05 Tool: Assessing Your & Partner’s Fertility; Autoimmune Conditions02:37:51 Breast Cancer, Tool: Lifetime Risk Calculator & Breast Imaging; Mastectomy02:49:47 Endometriosis Tests, Autoimmune Disease; Brain Fog & Menopause; Inositol02:53:06 Undiagnosed Infertility; PMDD Treatment; Fasting & Low-Carbohydrate Diets02:57:21 Hair Loss & Perimenopause; Egg Quality; Endometriosis & Menopause03:00:40 Increase Progesterone; Diet, Hormone & Menopause; Prolong Fertility03:04:54 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow, Reviews & Feedback, Sponsors, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter#HubermanLab #Health #HormoneHealthDisclaimer & Disclosures: https://www.hubermanlab.com/disclaimer
