Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi: The #1 Hormone Problem Affecting Millions of Women (And The 4 Changes That Can Reverse It)

Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi on the silent crisis of undiagnosed PCOS and endometriosis. Not just fertility — a masterclass on hormones, insulin resistance, inflammation, mental health, and medical gaslighting. PCOS affects millions but is routinely missed. The four pillars of healing: insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, and neurological disruption.

Highlights

PCOS is a silent crisis — millions undiagnosed
PCOS shaped by insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and neurological disruption. Often dismissed as 'just irregular periods.'
Insulin resistance is the first domino
Insulin resistance triggers a cascade that impacts ovulation, mood, weight, and fertility. Fix insulin first.
Balancing hormones beyond birth control
Birth control masks symptoms. Dr. A advocates for lifestyle-based hormone management: diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep.
Medical gaslighting in women's health
Women are routinely told their pain is 'normal' or 'in their head.' Endometriosis takes an average of 7-10 years to diagnose.
