If you've ever been told to "just take birth control and come back when you want to get pregnant," this episode is for you. This week, we're joined by Ellie Osorio—a registered dietitian, medical doctor (MD in Mexico), and leading Latina PCOS expert—who is changing the conversation around hormonal health for women of color.

After being diagnosed with PCOS herself, Ellie realized how little support was available—especially for Latinas navigating nutrition, wellness, and their cultural identity. Now, she’s on a mission to help women manage PCOS naturally—without restrictive diets or giving up cultural staples like tortillas, rice, and plátanos.

We talk about:

Why so many women receive generic PCOS advice

What high-fiber, plant-based eating really means (no, you don’t have to go vegan!)

Busting myths around weight loss, periods, and hormone balance

The emotional toll of PCOS in Latinx communities

How to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office

🎙️ Grab your wine, pull up a seat, and get ready to be empowered with real, culturally inclusive health info.
