Lara Briden’s book, the Period Repair Manual, is a manifesto of natural treatment for better hormones and better periods. I recommend it all the time, so I am thrilled to have her on the podcast. Dr. Briden provides practical solutions using nutrition, supplements, and natural hormones. We both agree that ovulation matters for all women; it's not just about making babies. So, listen as we discuss:

Why a period on the birth control pill is not a true period

Diagnosis and misdiagnosis of PCOS

Why cutting carbs might not help

Why doctors in Australia may not (and should not) diagnose a teenager with PCOS

Pain is not a symptom of PCOS

Her protocol for each type of PCOS
