   PCOS / PMOS 101 | Ep 20

   🌿 Wellness Gupshup – Episode 20 | PCOS / PMOS 101 September is PCOS Awareness Month, so in this episode of Wellness Gupshup, we go back to the basics and unpack PCOS in a clear, practical and easy-to-understand way. PCOS is often discussed mainly in the context of periods, ovaries and fertility — but there is much more to the picture. It can involve hormonal balance, insulin resistance, blood-sugar regulation, inflammation, weight management, sleep, mood and long-term metabolic health. In this episode, we discuss: 🔹 What PCOS is and why it is considered more than a reproductive condition 🔹 PCOS vs. the newer terminology PMOS and the thinking behind a broader metabolic perspective 🔹 What the “cysts” seen on ultrasound actually may represent 🔹 Why an ultrasound alone does not diagnose PCOS 🔹 Common symptoms — from irregular periods and acne to hair changes, fatigue, brain fog and sleep issues 🔹 The connection between insulin, blood sugar and androgen hormones 🔹 Why insulin resistance can influence ovulation and other PCOS symptoms 🔹 Lifestyle foundations: nutrition, protein, healthy fats, strength training, sleep and stress management 🔹 Blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol and hormone tests that may be discussed with a healthcare professional 🔹 Supplements and teas commonly discussed in the PCOS space, including inositol, berberine, NAC, vitamin D, magnesium and spearmint tea 🔹 The importance of looking beyond fertility and considering long-term metabolic and cardiovascular health 🔹 Why consistency matters more than perfection Most importantly, a PCOS diagnosis does not automatically mean infertility or that pregnancy is impossible. PCOS can affect ovulation and fertility, but it is a manageable condition and experiences vary significantly from person to person. Our goal in this episode is not to create fear or promote a “magic pill.” It is to help you understand the bigger picture and have more informed conversations with your healthcare professional. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This episode is for general educational and informational purposes only.

   Glutathione: The “Master Antioxidant”? | Episode 19

   What is glutathione, and why does it play such an important role in the body's antioxidant defense system? In this episode of Wellness Gupshup, Sana explains glutathione and we explore how our everyday nutrition and exercise habits can support the body's ability to produce and use this important antioxidant. We discuss the nutritional building blocks behind glutathione, including: 🥦 Sulfur-rich vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, garlic and onions 🥚 Protein sources such as eggs, chicken and beef 🥛 Whey protein and its cysteine content 🥜 Selenium-rich foods such as Brazil nuts, sardines and beef liver 🍓 Vitamin C-rich foods such as bell peppers, citrus fruits and strawberries We then take glutathione into the gym. Intense exercise temporarily increases oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species. While some oxidative stress is part of the body's normal adaptation to exercise, we discuss why antioxidant defenses—including the glutathione system—matter for recovery and cellular protection. We also explore: • Glutathione and post-workout oxidative stress • The role of mitochondria in energy production • Why mitochondria need antioxidant protection • The connection between whey protein, cysteine and glutathione synthesis • Diet and the body's natural antioxidant defenses • Oxidative stress and environmental exposures • Why “detox” is more complicated than simply taking a supplement The big takeaway? Your body has sophisticated antioxidant systems of its own—and nutrition can provide many of the raw materials needed to support them. As always, we're keeping the conversation practical, evidence-based and free from miracle claims. 🎙️ Wellness Gupshup — health, nutrition, fitness and wellness, with a little desi gupshup along the way.
