What Your Doctor May Be Missing: The Real Reason for Moodiness, Acne, Weight Gain, and Anxiety
This is the health advice every woman, particularly those in their teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s, needs to hear.Today, world-renowned OB-GYN and women’s health advocate Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, MD, known as Dr. A, is here for a private appointment with you.
She has shared before on this podcast about breast cancer. This episode covers entirely different topics: essential, life-changing information on fertility, PMS, PMDD, PMOS, and endometriosis.

This conversation was so eye-opening for Mel that right after taping it, she flew herself and her two daughters, both in their 20s, across the country to see Dr. A to get answers about health concerns they had been struggling with.
And now, Mel’s daughter has been diagnosed with PMOS and is following Dr. A’s exact advice.
As a mother, Mel is grateful to Dr. A for coming to Boston and not only being a fierce advocate but also taking the time to give us a detailed checklist of exactly what we need to know and exactly what to ask for so that we can take better care of ourselves and the women we love.
Dr. A has spent decades caring for women, performing advanced gynecological surgeries, and teaching medical students and residents at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
She calls her medical practice “the Office of Dismissed Women.”
In fact, Dr. A shares today that 75% of women with PMOS are walking or go through life without ever knowing it—and that PMOS is the leading cause of infertility together with endometriosis. It takes on average 11 years for someone to be diagnosed, but as Dr. A says, it doesn't have to be this way.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How to properly diagnose PMOS
- Why unexplained weight gain, acne, hair loss, and anxiety may be connected to an underlying hormonal condition
- The warning signs of endometriosis
- Why endometriosis can go undiagnosed for years
- What PMDD is and why your mood can change dramatically before your period
- The truth about birth control and infertility
- What you need to know about your egg count and fertility before you're ready to have children
- How to advocate for yourself when your doctor tells you everything is normal
We ask you to not only listen to this but also to share this with your daughters, your sisters, your mother, and your girlfriends, because we all need to have each other's back.
And today, Dr. A has ours.
