Knowledge Is Power: Rethinking PCOS and Women's Health
Everything you thought you knew about PCOS may be wrong. In the debut episode of the Body Clock Podcast, veteran OB-GYN Dr. Herman Weiss joins Circady Health founder Daniel Kaufman to dismantle the biggest myths around polycystic ovarian syndrome — the number one endocrine disorder in women, affecting roughly 1 in 8. Starting from the claim that it has "nothing to do with cysts, and it has nothing really to do with ovaries," Dr. Weiss reframes PCOS as a whole-body hormonal and metabolic syndrome (now being renamed PMOS), explains how a normal cycle really works, and breaks down its three main drivers: insulin resistance, stress, and inflammation. Along the way he shares why doctors' words carry so much weight and tells the story of the patient whose life changed with one small habit. General information, not medical advice.
A conversation about what happens to your internal clock when you cross time zones, and evidence-based approaches some people use to ease the adjustment.
A conversation with a sleep researcher about how irregular schedules interact with our internal clock, and coping strategies discussed in the literature.
