    Treating PCOS Symptoms, Including Weight and Infertility

    In this final episode of my PCOS series, I walk you through your treatment options for managing symptoms, weight gain, and fertility. PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormone and insulin‑resistance disorder that can cause irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, scalp hair thinning, weight gain, and difficulty getting pregnant. Treatment always starts with one key question: Are you trying to conceive right now? In this episode, I explain: Birth control options for symptom controlOvulation‑induction medications like clomiphene and letrozoleWhen fertility specialists may step inThe role of weight loss and insulin resistanceMetformin vs. GLP‑1 medications (like semaglutide)Why PCOS fertility is often very treatableIf you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS or suspect you may have it, this episode will help you understand your next steps.

    Diagnosis, Weight Gain & Insulin Resistance

    In this episode of Gyno Info, I continue our PCOS series and explain why weight gain — especially belly fat — is so common with PCOS. We review the key symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), how I confirm the diagnosis with hormone blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound, and most importantly, the role of insulin resistance in driving weight gain, hunger, and long-term health risks like diabetes and heart disease. If you’ve been struggling with irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, infertility, or weight that won’t budge despite your best efforts, this episode will help you understand what’s happening inside your body.

    Understanding PCOS: Causes & Common Symptoms

    PCOS can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when you’re first hearing the diagnosis. My goal in this episode is to break things down in a clear, straightforward way so you can better understand what’s happening in your body. I talk about common symptoms, how PCOS can affect menstrual cycles and ovulation, and why higher testosterone levels play such an important role. We also explore how PCOS is diagnosed, including what doctors look for on ultrasound, and why PCOS can impact fertility for some people. Throughout the episode, I focus on helping you feel informed—not alarmed—because understanding your health is the first step toward managing it. This episode is the beginning of a larger conversation. In upcoming episodes, I’ll dive deeper into topics like PCOS and weight changes, associated health risks, lab testing, and treatment options so you can feel empowered to make decisions that are right for you. If you or someone you love is navigating PCOS, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Be sure to follow the podcast for more honest, practical conversations about women’s health.

    Vaccinations, Vaginal Health, and Pap Smears for Trans Men

    Welcome to GynoInfo! On this week's episode I’m answering real questions sent in by listeners — the kind of questions people often have but aren’t always sure how to ask in a doctor’s office. We talk about vaccinations and why they matter for long‑term health, clear up common confusion around vaginal douching (spoiler: your vagina is very good at taking care of itself), and address an important and often overlooked topic: pap smear needs for trans men. My goal is simple — to give you practical, judgment‑free information you can actually use. Whether it’s understanding your options, knowing what questions to ask, or feeling more confident advocating for yourself, this episode is about putting knowledge back in your hands. Healthcare works best when you feel informed, respected, and heard — and that’s what we’re building here. You can write to us at Questions@GynoInfo.net And follow us on Instagram @gynoinfo

    Why Am I Iron Deficient? The Hidden Causes Explained

    Iron deficiency doesn’t just happen out of nowhere — and in this episode, I explain some of the most important reasons why it develops. One of the biggest clues can be blood loss, including blood you might notice in your stool or urine. We talk through common causes of iron deficiency, what ongoing or hidden blood loss can signal, and why it’s so important to take these signs seriously instead of just treating low iron with supplements alone. I also explain when blood loss may be coming from the gastrointestinal or urinary tract and why identifying the source matters for your long‑term health. This episode is about helping you understand what your lab results and symptoms may be pointing to — and when it’s time to dig deeper and seek medical evaluation rather than ignoring the root cause. If you’ve been told you’re iron deficient and don’t know why, this is an important conversation to hear. You can write to us at Questions@GynoInfo.net And follow us on Instagram @gynoinfo

    Periods, Pregnancy & Iron Deficiency: What Every Woman Needs to Know

    This week, I talk about something I see every single day in my practice: iron deficiency in women. Many of my patients come to me feeling exhausted, foggy, or just “not themselves,” and are surprised to learn that low iron is often at the root of it. I walk you through what iron deficiency is, how it develops, and why women are especially vulnerable — from heavy periods and pregnancy to dietary habits that don’t always support our iron needs. I also explain the difference between iron deficiency and iron‑deficiency anemia, and why both deserve attention. We spend time on proper diagnosis, including the blood tests I rely on most — like a CBC, ferritin, and CRP — and why simply being told your labs are “normal” isn’t always enough. I also break down the treatment options I discuss with my patients, from dietary changes and oral supplements to intravenous iron infusions when needed. Most importantly, I want this episode to empower you. Understanding your iron levels is a key part of protecting your overall health, energy, and quality of life. My goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to ask questions, advocate for yourself, and take an active role in your care. This is one conversation every woman deserves to have. Episode Timeline 00:00 Introduction to Gyno Info: Frank Talk  01:10 Why so many women feel exhausted  02:46 What iron deficiency really means  07:19 How I diagnose iron deficiency and anemia  10:34 Treatment options and what I recommend  18:24 Final thoughts and takeaways You can write to us at Questions@GynoInfo.net And follow us on Instagram @gynoinfo
