Welcome to Episode 9 of Season 8 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast: Grounding Yourself During Times of Struggle With Ash Johns  Today I have the honor of speaking with Ash Johns, a Conscious Business Strategist, Certified PsychoSpiritual Life Coach, and skilled Ancestral Healer living at the intersection of creativity, spirituality and business. After walking away from 10+ years in advertising and branding to run a eight-figure women’s retreat in Southeast Asia, Ash believes our greatest recurring trauma—both personally and collectively—is in how we’ve been taught to survive in this world, and that the key to thriving lies in returning to our roots. We're going deep today to give you the tools to ignite the healer within, and to reconnect with your purpose on this planet. Never has this message been needed to be heard more than now, and I encourage you to listen to this episode more than once to gain a bigger perspective on how to ground yourself when times get rough.  As an added bonus and to make this easier, Ash has recorded a special guided meditation for our listeners here: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/pcos-revolution-podcast-free-meditation You can learn more about Ash at ashleyjohns.com, @ashinspires on Instagram and Facebook I hope you enjoy listening and sharing this very special episode and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on our weekly Instagram Live's each Wednesday at https://www.instagram.com/flcompletewellness/ Help Us Spread The Word!

She subsequently served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, as well as the Research Rotational Director for the REI fellowship, and Medical Director of the Brooklyn office of the Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York. Dr. Kudesia has held many national leadership roles in organized medicine, including her current roles as Chair-Elect of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine’s (ASRM) Women’s Council, and the ASRM Young Physician Delegate to the American Medical Association.

Navigating the Changing Stages of PCOS With Dr. Rashmi Kudesia 

Anna Cabeca

Welcome to Episode 6 of Season 8 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast: Going Keto-Green To Flip the PCOS Perimenopausal Switch With Dr. Anna CabecaToday I have with me Dr. Anna Cabeca, who's an expert in women's health and functional medicine. She's an Emory University trained and board-certified gynecologist and obstetrician and she's also certified in integrative medicine and anti-aging/regenerative medicine.  She specializes in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and their natural alternatives, and she also focuses on successful menopause and age management medicine. Dr. Cabeca's years of experience in her private practice, along with her own journey of transformation, has placed her as one of the most in-demand speakers regarding restorative health and women's health issues.In this episode, we discuss how hormone production dips as a woman ages, leading to increased visceral fat which is especially difficult for women with PCOS. By pairing keto-diet staples with foods that bring the body’s pH to a more alkaline level, you can shed belly fat more easily while balancing the hormones responsible for that bulkier midsection in the first place. And by fueling your brain with ketones—like rocket fuel instead of gasoline—you’ll make better decisions, including healthier choices for what to eat. See our episode page to grab her free ebooks at https://www.floridacompletewellness.com/podcasts and start implementing these strategies right away!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/farrar-duro/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/farrar-duro/support

Evidence-Based Nutrition Strategies For PCOS With Hillary Wright

Ellen Wood

The emotional response to hearing, "There is no apparent reason for the repeated pregnancy losses or infertility" can be difficult, maddening and frustrating.  Approximately 1 in 5 couples will experience unexplained infertility, and another 2% will experience recurrent pregnancy loss - or implantation failures despite completing a full infertility work-up.  In this three-part series with Dr. Ellen Wood,  you'll learn how to put together the missing pieces of unexplained infertility and repeated pregnancy loss, to uncover the vital answers on the path leading to parenthood.  With over four decades of combined reproductive medicine experience, Dr. Ellen Wood, reproductive endocrinologist of #IVFMD and Dr. Farrar Celada Duro, reproductive acupuncturist, will share:  • The key questions to ask a R.E. and/or reproductive acupuncturist BEFORE starting a medicated cycle  • The 3 myths surrounding recurrent pregnancy loss and how to address them  • The reasons why the current fertility plan might not be the most effective, and the warning signs to look for that could indicate more problems down the road  • The four-step strategy to start implementing now to get on the road to starting or growing a family  About Our Guest:   Dr. Ellen Wood is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in the subspecialty of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Dr. Wood is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and a distinguished fellow in the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists.  She is a Voluntary Assistant Professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine and Florida International University School of Medicine. She has served as a Clinical Board Examiner for the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists since 2011. She also holds a Preceptor role at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, in addition to being the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Site Director for the OBGYN Residency Program at Community Health of South Florida.  Before joining IVFMD, Dr. Wood served as an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and as the director of Academic Services at MCP Hahnemann University in Philadelphia, PA. Her major research interests include in vitro fertilization, congenital uterine anomalies, and advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgical techniques. She has published numerous articles, co-authored multiple book chapters, and has presented her research at both national and international meetings.  About the Host:  Farrar Duro, Doctor Oriental Medicine practices reproductive acupuncture at Florida Complete Wellness in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and became a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine in 2008. After overcoming her own struggles with PCOS and endometriosis using a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other natural methods, she has felt tremendous joy in sharing her methods with other women .  Farrar has since specialized in the treatment of PCOS, infertility and hormonal imbalances with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for over 15 years and has a passion for women’s health and wellness. This path led her to pursue advanced pregnancy training in the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ and publication of her first book, The Smart Couple’s Guide to Getting Pregnant, An Integrated Approach in 2015.  A board-certified acupuncture physician, Farrar graduated from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine and performed her post-graduate training at Shandong University of TCM in Shandong, China.
