Did you know our metabolic and hormonal systems are deeply connected?  So many women who experience hormone imbalances, mood swings, or fertility struggles  think it's just something they have to deal with as "part of being a woman". In this groundbreaking conversation, I sit down with Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, PhD scientist and women’s health innovator, to unpack the science behind ovarian health, menopause myths, and the things we can do to take control over our bodies. We dive into the shocking truth about how ovaries are not just about fertility—but act as a command center for nearly every system in the body. Dr. Piraye explains why modern women are outliving their ovaries and what that means for our health, energy, and aging. From sleep to stress to blood sugar, she shares how to understand your body’s hormone signals and take back control.
She also breaks down how PCOS and perimenopause share metabolic roots, why glucose management is a hormone health superpower, and how hot flashes might be your brain’s way of signaling distress. You’ll hear how she personally used a continuous glucose monitor to stop her hot flashes—and the surprising ways GLP-1s (like Ozempic) are restoring ovulation in women who were told they’d never conceive naturally.
If you’ve been told “this is just what happens as you age,” or have ever felt dismissed by doctors while navigating period pain, fertility challenges, or menopause symptoms, this episode will empower you with science, tools, and hope.
You’ll also hear:
<ul>
 <li>Why your ovaries affect your brain, bones, metabolism, and immune system</li>
 <li>How GLP-1s are shifting the fertility and PCOS landscape</li>
 <li>What environmental toxins are doing to your hormones</li>
 <li>How sleep and melatonin directly impact ovarian function</li>
 <li>Why temperature tracking is the most underrated health tool for women</li>
</ul>
Whether you’re navigating PCOS, planning to freeze your eggs, or just want to feel better in your 30s and 40s, this episode is a must-listen. It’s time we stop normalizing hormone suffering—and start listening to the signals our bodies are sending.
