OB-GYN Thaïs Aliabadi on the full spectrum of female hormone health — from PCOS and endometriosis to perimenopause and breast cancer risk. Practical protocols for hormone optimization across the lifespan.

This summary was generated from show notes and public descriptions, not from a full transcript review. Details may contain inaccuracies.

Canon

Aliabadi confirms Swan's research: endocrine-disrupting chemicals in personal care products, food packaging, and household items cause measurable hormonal disruption in women — driving PCOS, endometriosis, and early menopause.

Highlights

Perimenopause begins years before menopause — and most women don't know it
Aliabadi: hormonal shifts begin 8-10 years before actual menopause. Symptoms like brain fog, mood changes, weight gain, and sleep disruption often start in the late 30s but are rarely attributed to hormones.

Misc

Aliabadi has delivered over 5,000 babies — her clinical experience is vast
