    You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing WORLD’S TOP OBGYN Dr. Aliabadi: The #1 Hormone Problem Affecting Millions of Women (And The 4 Changes That Can Reverse It) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty For many women, the real challenge isn’t just unexplained health problems, it’s being heard when they seek help. Jay sits down with Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, or "Dr. A", to unpack a silent crisis affecting millions of women around the world: undiagnosed PCOS and endometriosis. This isn’t just a discussion about fertility, but a masterclass on hormones, inflammation, mental health, and the painful reality of medical gaslighting. PCOS, a condition shaped by insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, and neurological disruption, is often overlooked, leaving women struggling with anxiety, depression, weight gain, irregular periods, and infertility without answers. Dr. A shares how insulin resistance acts as the “first domino,” triggering a domino effect that impacts everything from ovulation to mood, and emphasizes that true healing requires addressing all four pillars, not just masking symptoms with birth control. Dr. A challenges the outdated belief that painful periods are “normal,” explaining that severe pain, painful sex, chronic bloating, bladder symptoms, and bowel discomfort are signs something deeper may be wrong. She reveals that diagnosis takes an average of 9–11 years, and that many women are told their pain is psychological before they’re ever taken seriously. Through both science and lived clinical experience, she makes it clear: when inflammation and hormones are out of balance, mental health suffers too. Anxiety, depression, brain fog, and eating disorders are not personal failings, they are often physiological signals that something deeper is happening in the body. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Recognize the Signs of PCOS Early How to Reduce Insulin Resistance Naturally How to Tell if Your Period Pain Is “Normal” How to Protect Your Fertility in Your 20s and 30s How to Balance Hormones Beyond Birth Control How to Spot Hidden Symptoms of Endometriosis How to Lower Inflammation Through Lifestyle Changes If there’s one thing to take away from this conversation, it’s this: your body is not working against you, it’s communicating with you. Pain is not weakness. It is a signal and you deserve to have those signals taken seriously.

    Dorit & Sutton's Last Season(?), RHONJ's Return & The Truth Behind "Housewives Fatigue"

    As this season of RHOBH chugs along, fans continue to cry “boring”, Amanda proves she is not afraid of any of them and we start to wonder, just how will this cast be switched up after this less than stellar year. Dorit is carrying the season but, as history has taught any good Bravo fan, time and time again, that does not guarantee another season nor is it necessarily a good thing. One thing is for certain, cast changes are certain in a mere few weeks once this season comes to an end. On the other hand, RHONJ is set to return with test filming set to begin later this month. Or is it? Last, but not least, we deep dive the future of Real Housewives, analyze whether Housewives fatigue is a real thing and discuss how much the ratings even matter any more these days. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NOOM - noom.com (The Noom GLP-1 Microdose Program Starts At $99 and Is Delivered To Your Door In Seven Days) GROW THERAPY - GrowTherapy.com/VELVET (Whatever Challenges You’re Facing, Grow Therapy Is Here To Help) THE GOOD EDIT PODCAST - https://bit.ly/4kXktDH (The Newest Bravo Podcast - Deep Dives & Recaps Unlike Any Other!)
