Understanding PCOS: Hormones, Health & Hope with The Hormone Dietitian

What is PCOS really—and why aren’t we talking about it more?
In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Grove Azzaro, RDN, LD — also known as The Hormone Dietitian — for a deep dive into PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), one of the most common yet misunderstood conditions affecting vulva owners. We unpack what PCOS actually is, how it impacts fertility, hormones, and overall well-being, and why many people are still struggling to get proper diagnosis and care.
Melissa shares insights into the different types of estrogen, how metabolic and hormonal imbalances play a role, and why so many health studies still overlook women and AFAB bodies entirely. Plus, we talk polyps, fibroids, treatment options, and her holistic approach to helping people navigate this complex condition.
Whether you have PCOS, suspect you might, or just want to better understand hormones and sexual health, this is a must-listen.
