"Just Lose Weight and You'll Get Pregnant" Was Never True
About this episode
Gina Livy discusses fertility and weight loss with Dr. Sony Sierra, debunking myths and exploring hormonal impacts on health.
From your first period to well past menopause, it's the same set of ovaries calling the shots, and almost no one ever explained what they're actually doing. Gina sits down with Dr. Sony Sierra, one of Canada's leading fertility specialists, for the conversation you can't get in a ten-minute appointment. Why "just lose weight" was never the real answer. What twenty years of losing and regaining does to your hormones. Why the way you lose weight matters more than the number. And why the hardest part of menopause is that nobody warned you. They also talk the PCOS name change, GLP-1s and fertility, and what the research says about plastics.
