Welcome back to The Weight Loss Collab! In this special episode, co-hosts Dr. Dovec and Hannah Schuyler are joined by Dr. Diana Lane, who returns to the podcast after nearly two years—and a lot has changed! Now 23 weeks pregnant, Dr. Lane openly shares her personal journey with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the challenges she faced with weight loss, and how PCOS impacted both her physical health and emotional wellbeing. The conversation gets real and honest as she dives into her struggles with misdiagnoses, weight management, and fertility, plus the emotional rollercoaster of navigating pregnancy after years of medical mystery. Expect authentic stories, practical insights for women facing similar challenges, and a candid discussion about how metabolic health, hormones, and chronic conditions intersect with weight loss and motherhood. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS yourself, supporting a loved one, or just curious to learn more, this episode brings knowledge, validation, and plenty of heart.
