Hormonally Yours with The Hormone Dietitian

Hormonally Yours with The Hormone DietitianHi, I’m Melissa Groves Azzaro, an award-winning integrative women’s health dietitian. I’ve helped thousands of women struggling with hormone-related issues and helped them identify and address the root causes of THEIR hormone imbalances, so they can have regular, symptom-free periods and optimize their fertility naturally.My mission is to be the no-BS hormone nutrition education resource for smart, busy women struggling with hormone imbalances. Most of the women I work with are bosses in every area of their life except their own hormones. And they appreciate learning the science and wanting to understand they WHY behind their symptoms… but what they don’t have is TIME to do their own research. And there’s so much misinformation out there around what actually works. As a licensed healthcare practitioner, my hope with this podcast is to dispel some of those myths and give you the information you actually need to feel better and thrive by living a more balanced life. A little disclosure – the information I share on this podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended to be taken as medical advice. Yes, I’m A dietitian, but I am not YOUR dietitian. Always consult with YOUR healthcare provider before implementing diet, exercise, or supplement changes. Join me each week as I share science-based information about PCOS, fertility, and other hormone imbalances, interview guest experts who specialize in this field and talk with women just like you.

This is the most informative education I’ve EVER received on PCOS and that’s saying a lot, because I was diagnosed in 2008 and it’s now 2022. No one ever took the time to explain the A to Z of PCOS to me. I’m so grateful I found Melissa through my own research and, fate-ishly enough, my SIBO dietician recommended her shortly after I found Melissa. I’m looking forward to working with her. It’s been tough, to say the very least, “living” with all my symptoms. Again, I’ve learned so much just by listening to only the first few episodes (so far) of this podcast. What a total shame conventional doctors don’t have this knowledge. They don’t even care to have this knowledge.

Love the content but the audio needs improvement

Still rating a 5 star review because I love Melissa’s content! But sometimes it’s difficult to listen to with headphones because the audio is so poor. Hopefully that can improve as the podcast expands :)

Wow

Just so much information that anyone looking to improve their hormones with some basic take home messages can follow! Really well done highlight the latest research updates !
ElizibethBram

Really helpful, practical help

I’ve always enjoyed the hormone dietician and her practical approach to PCOS management. Before I found her on Instagram, all I could find was advice to cut out all carbs, dairy, etc. This advice keeps a regular person in mind and amplifies the voices of other trusted practitioners. The weekly cadence also helps me stay on track with my goals as listening to the podcast can help me re-center what I’m doing that week. Favorite episodes so far were about stress with Kendra Tobert, Keeping cultural foods with Amber Charles, and New Years Resolutions. Keep up the good work!

So helpful

All of the information is great, I love how straightforward the information is!
Ms. Jenn Maine

An easy listen with helpful information

This podcast has given me the information that I hoped to receive from the MANY doctors I’ve visited. I feel that I can trust the information because of the credentials that Melissa and her guests have, but I don’t feel that the information is too stuffy to be relatable. I feel the exact opposite - it’s easily digestible and encouraging. I look forward to more episodes!

Great show

I especially enjoyed the episodes with Dr. Janelle Howell and Sam Abbott. As a HCW and PCOS patient it helped validate the care I advocate for myself and and patients.

A must listen!

Informative in a way that’s easy to understand and entertaining. Look forward to listening to future episodes!
mdhuffy

So Helpful!

Melissa is an amazing resource for PCOS information. Her social media has helped me to feel like there is hope in working with my PCOS. Now her podcast is just as informative, if not more so and an easily accessable way to gain even more information and confidence! I have already learned so much and look forward to all that is to come!
jacyt3

Just the guidance I need!

I’m so glad I found Melissa! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and this podcast is such a wonderful source of information, and Melissa also makes all these challenges feel so manageable- makes me very confident that I can improve my symptoms over time. I appreciate her citations throughout each episode to scientific literature.

Thank You!

Very informative podcast for those looking to gain more control of their hormones. Melissa is knowledgeable and passionate about helping others.

Wanted and Needed

I have loved following The Hormone Dietitian account and am so excited she is providing another form of content. The conversations that are had between The Hormone Dietitian and her guests are beyond wanted, they are needed by the PCOS community!

Informative PCOS podcast!

There is so much misinformation about PCOS circulating on the internet and this podcast does a great job at providing evidence-based information (with research updates!) and having conversations with professionals in PCOS

Beneficial Information

These podcasts give women who are overcoming their PCOS great knowledge and understanding of what’s happening in their body. I have benefited so much from this information and being able to spread the word to others who share the same story is a big win as well! Thanks Hormone Dietitian for the work that you do! 🔆

Amazing podcast for people with PCOS

I am so happy that I was referred to Melissa as a dietitian specializing in PCOS some time ago. Her work has been invaluable to me as I heal from this common endocrine condition, and when I saw she would have a podcast, I was thrilled. Already the first few months of episodes have been life changing. Thank you Melissa!

What A Relief

Navigating my potential diagnosis with PCOS is hard enough. It’s easy to feel frustrated, alone and left with no answers. Hormonally yours is such a gift to get real answers for real problem, not just “have you considered losing weight??” Thanks for all you do!!
Klei9

Informative & Fun

This is handsdown best podcast on PCOS. Melissa is a great host and her interviews are really interesting and informative. Like many, I wasn't diagnosed with PCOS until I tried to have a child. And even then, the doctor tried to put my on oral contraception to "fix" the issue. Through Melissa's podcast and Instagram, I have learned so much more about managing my condition.
Swingle33

Love this podcast!

PCOS is such a difficult condition to navigate! Finding people to talk about it in the same stage of life as you is even harder. This podcast helps me so much to not feel so alone in the day to day with my own personal PCOS journey as well as giving me some great tips along the way!
NMT1982

The struggle is real

This is my new favorite pod cast! As a PCOS sufferer for years. To hear Melissa & guests validate everything I have gone through & am going through with this syndrome puts everything into perspective. As a 40 year old woman now looking back on my young life, trying to figure out why I didn’t have normal periods & had a hard time conceiving babies & much more, this pod cast, following Melissa on social media & my own research on PCOS is a huge eye opener for me! I only wish I had this knowledge years ago!
iamLalaLalaLala

Hope after all!

PCOS and wacked out hormones have affected me from my hair to my fertility. So often doctors, friends, and strangers on the internet say “just lose some weight” but that feels almost impossible sometimes (most of the time). I’m so thankful for this collection of work and for the insights these amazing women provide to give actionable and attainable goals to get myself to a healthier place both physically and mentality. Thank you!
bndodson

Finally!

I’m so grateful to have stumbled upon this podcast as well as Melissa’s Instagram account. I’ve been so discouraged with the “advice” from medical doctors when it comes to PCOS. We’ve all heard it...just lose weight, you need birth control, you need metformin, you’ll need IVF to get pregnant. Meanwhile, I’m pumping my body full of synthetic hormones and who knows what else thinking it’s the right thing to do. I’m so glad there are resources becoming more and more available that give real, helpful, and natural solutions!
Kryysss

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing PCOS info in layman’s terms. PCOS being something that we will have for the rest of our life, it is so refreshing to have updated and trustworthy information out there in a light hearted and segmented way to digest. Will continue to listen!

Restoring Hope

Finding this podcast and Melissa’s IG page has been the restoration of hope that I needed. I am a glass half full, let’s get it done type of woman but over the past year I began to lose hope of ever balancing my PCOS. With that came drastic changes suggested by others that have worked for them that left me feeling defeated, hungry (oh so hungry lol) and feeling like my body would never budge. I had a hope leak that made me resent my body. When I discovered Melissa’s page it was like looking at the world with new eyes. Hearing from an actual dietician that I didn’t have to beat my body into submission everyday with food and calorie restrictions or become dependent on metformin and birth control for the rest of my days honestly almost made me cry because finally it felt like someone understood. Then this podcast came along and it is a weekly dose of hope that gives me the tools that I need to slowly but surely balance my PCOS. I keep a journal dedicated to all of the great tips, information and motivation that Melissa and her guest provide. I anticipate every episode and when I’m having a tough day I go back and listen to previous episodes. I am not there yet but I’m confident that change is coming!

Excellent Evidence-based PCOS Nutrition Advice

I am a Registered Dietitian myself and I turn to Melissa’s podcast, website, and Instagram often since I was diagnosed with PCOS last year. She is a wealth of knowledge and is so generous to share it so openly with her audience. I look forward to each and every episode and highly recommend this podcast as a reliable source of information on how to manage PCOS and balance hormones in a healthy and sustainable way.
MariaM510

Love love love this podcast!

I have learned so much and I’m still learning! PCOS is something that has definitely bothered me for what it feels like but with this podcast makes me feel like there’s hope for me to manage my symptoms!

PCOS GURU

The Hormone Dietician helped me start my PCOS journey and now she has a podcast too! She provides such excellent information for those living with PCOS. You can’t go wrong by getting involved with any of the content she puts out. Her philosophy and guidance around life with PCOS is refreshing after all the damaging rhetoric around losing weight being the end all be all. Thank you for all that you do Melissa!
EG21218

Highly recommend!

This podcast and Melissa’s content she puts out are incredibly helpful! I stumbled upon her podcast and social media after being diagnosed with pcos and have learned a TON! I love how clear and simple she presents info. I so appreciate someone providing research backed info and NOT pushing overly restrictive diets or one size fits all. If you’re wondering how to eat for happy hormones and need a place to start I cannot recommend this podcast enough!

Freeing Information

I love the anti-diet body positive culture. It has helped me make peace with my body and stopped me from trying some potentially dangerous diets when I was feeling at my desperate. And although it has helped me love my body at every size. I’ve still wanted it to be just a tad bit smaller. Hearing that it is OKAY to want to lose weight and getting great tips on how to do it really helps. The information on PCOS can be way too confusing at times. I loved that the information given was clear and came from a fellow Cyster!
Stefonovich

PCOS eats!

This last podcast was very eye opening and helpful as far as what’s foods to eat and are okay. Being recently diagnosed and yes going online and reading all these foods to cut out and not to eat this or that made me feel sad and lost. Happy to have found Melissa and her page and book and podcast. I’m still in the learning process of trying to find out what best works for me but knowing that I can still eat majority of the foods I enjoy gave me joy. Thank you!
rolson234

Such a confidence booster

It is such a breath of fresh air to be hopeful about my PCOS. Melissa is amazing and her podcast does not disappoint. I love all the different areas of a whole person that she is covering here - the experience, the testing, the rest, the nutrition. I look forward to each new episode!!
Marig42

Such a wonderful support for PCOS!

This podcast has been so helpful for my PCOS journey! I was recently diagnosed and didn’t really know where to begin. Melissa has taught me a lot of wonderful information and I greatly enjoy her empathetic approach to treatment.
Eventhedogsareboys

Love it!

There is so much information out there about PCOS. I love that she shares evidence based information. A wealth of knowledge.
cgcann711

Wonderful info!

I have been following Melissa on social media for awhile now and she has given me wonderful, easy to follow tips for managing my PCOS. This podcast has been a great addition to her resources and I feel like I learn so much!
Woodruff_S

Excited about this podcast!

Just listened to Episode one. I have lived with PCOS for a little over a decade and there is so much information to sort through. Looking forward to this being a great resource!
Savey00032

What a relief!

When you receive a diagnosis that doctors know next to nothing about (such as PCOS), it’s so infuriating, disappointing, confusing, and maddening. In addition, you have people who prey on this community with inaccurate information that harms the body even more. To have a podcast that discusses helpful information on a topic that desperately needs more attention is a relief. Keep it up!
KC0812

Thank You

It has taken me years to finally get a diagnosis of PCOS. Now I feel lost in a sea of information trying to learn not only what it is but how to manage it. I am truly grateful to have found this podcast! The content is fantastic, relatable, and easy to understand. It gives me hope that healing can happen from a more natural approach! Can’t wait for more episodes!
Nidhi V Vaidya

Amazing resource

Melissa is a wealth of information and gives out her information in a generous, gentle way. This podcast is already one of my favorites.
Skunk214

For the Husband too!

My wife has PCOS, and when I heard her listening to this the other day I started listening to it as a way to hopefully better understand some of the things she goes through, but also educate myself on something that is such a big part of my wife’s life. This podcast isn’t just for the women out there who have PCOS, but as a husband I have found this information very helpful as well. Melissa also has a great soothing podcast voice, easy to listen to!
CoriCNH

Best PCOS advice out there

Been following Melissa for awhile and she has really given the most helpful advice in terms of managing my PCOS. This podcast is a great addition to her posts and courses that help people struggling to get their symptoms under control.

A Breath of Fresh Air to Finally Feel Being a Woman is a Superpower!

I’ve been waiting for this lady to start a podcast so I could learn even more from her and hear her voice and I’m so glad she did! Not only is this podcast evidence based, but she presents the information in such a manner that makes you feel empowered and eager to navigate your own health journey. I love that she has experts in the field on to discuss other aspects of hormone health too! A must add to your Spotify library ASAP!

Excited!!

I really love her Instagram posts, but I hate Instagram-lol I was stoked to hear she was breaking out into podcast. It doesn’t disappoint 💜💜
sargemu

Super informative!

I’ve been following Melissa on Instagram for a while and have loved the very informative, research-backed approach she has and the content she posts. When I saw that she released a podcast I was so excited and can say it did not disappoint, so excited for what’s to come!
Doula Dietitian

Loving It!

I’m loving the podcast so far! I’m on the second one already and I love how organically it flows. Even though I’m a RDN, I don’t professionally work on hormone balance with clients. As a person with PCOS this makes me feel validated and understood. I used to have dissatisfaction with my body and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one to ever feel betrayed by my own self. The PCOS Roadmap course she offers is getting me to understand what I need to do for my body. This Podcast will serve as reminders of what I’m learning, what to do and why it’s important even though I’m not trying to conceive. Melissa thanks for the reminder that our hormones are our “superpower “!
OldLadyGomez

The only reason I started listening to podcasts

PCOS is hard to navigate but a needed process. It’s been slow going but I feel better with the adjustments to my life and how I eat. Some things I was doing were actually working against me and i realize it now. Looking forward to continuing educating myself on how to pick the right foods for my body 😊
Christina1007R

So thankful for this podcast!

Melissa is a boat of knowledge and I am so thankful I found her on Instagram. I just purchased her book and then her podcast came out. Sharing her resources means the world to me and I’m sure so many others that struggle with PCOS. Such a great listen!! The first episode is so informative!! Can’t wait to listen to more.
pnwsweater

So excited for this podcast!

Everyone with PCOS or really anyone with ovaries should listen to this podcast! It’s filled with useful info. I’m so excited to learn from the Hormone Dietician!
Sparkles1090

Best PCOS Podcast

Melissa is a wealth of knowledge! All of the information she puts out is backed by science and it never feels overwhelming or unattainable. She is my go-to for understanding all things PCOS related and her expertise in the field has been a guiding light in my own journey. There is so much confusing and restricting PCOS information on the internet, but Melissa makes it very simple. If you have PCOS, or if you simply want to learn about it, do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast!
S65324

Full of Great Info!

I skipped ahead to episode two of the show and I couldn’t be more excited about the launch of this podcast. When I first started researching PCOS it felt like there was not much information out there and I’m so grateful to be able to have a new resource to learn more science based tips and lifestyle shifts that can help achieve optimal hormone balance! Thanks Melissa!
Celise12

Refreshing

This podcast is honestly just so refreshing. PCOS needs to be talked about way more frequently than what it is, and this podcast really helps bring awareness to something that affects so many but way too many people know nothing about. I’ve loved what I’ve listened to so far and can’t wait to continue on this journey learning more about myself, my PCOS and how I can live my best healthy life. Thank you for creating this podcast and for helping to bring awareness for so many of us! Knowledge is power!
