On a mission to empower women with the right tests, knowledge and tools to proactively improve their health problems.

[Mohana @hellomohana]

From this thread I think it's safe to conclude that there is indeed a huge problem with how little support women get in their questions around hormonal health...

I am hosting an OB/GYN (MD) who is both a fertility and general female hormone health expert, on the Huberman Lab podcast today. What would you like me to ask her?

[Mohana @hellomohana]

@robertlufkinmd This is not a fully accurate claim. Many studies are now showing that IF is much more effective when people skip dinner.

@hubermanlab @fallinlovia Would love more episodes on women's health. Much appreciated!

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

Is your afternoon dip in energy (however mild or severe) occurring at 2:30pm, 3pm? Xpm? Note that for a few days. Assuming no major changes in night time sleep or eating an especially large lunch etc, chances are good your ideal bedtime is 6-7 hours after that dip. #circadian

[Mohana @hellomohana]

@robertlufkinmd A major cause behind these symptoms can be the quality of the foods we consume - a much less talked about topic (perhaps because it's harder to measure)

[Mohana @hellomohana]

@foundmyfitness Shouldn't the first line of intervention focus on reflecting on what one eats that may contribute to high blood pressure? Seems like sauna is a luxury that most people won't find accessible unfortunately.

[David Sinclair @davidasinclair]

You can't optimize if you don't measure

[Mohana @hellomohana]

@Join_ZOE Very cool! Would love to hear more on the role of the gut on female reproductive hormones!

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

Even if the morning sky looks like this, or has dense cloud cover, you can bet you’ll get more photons and set your wake-sleep cycles more effectively with 20min outside ASAP after waking (once it’s light out) than with hours of indoor lights. So many positive health benefits…

[Mohana @hellomohana]

@hubermanlab @GillettHealth touched on PCOS a bit in his interiew with @richroll. Would love to hear more on this topic from this upcoming interview!

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

All aspects of human health are eroded by deviating from healthy circadian behaviors. Conversely, early day sunlight, movement, bright light all day, and minimal light at night and sleep improve all disease outcomes and health metrics in the healthy. It’s non-negotiable.

[Mohana @hellomohana]

Would be great to hear more studies on this topic in regards to the female population. Especially those who have conditions like #PCOS.

[Mohana @hellomohana]

Sleep plays a vital role in insulin regulation, and thus in hormonal conditions like #PCOS, where insulin signaling problems are so common.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Even a single night of restricting sleep to 4 hrs can cause acute insulin resistance in healthy people.

But high-intensity interval training ameliorates some of the acute insulin resistance caused by poor sleep.

[Mohana @hellomohana]

While this study was only done on men, they found that the impact of sleep on #insulin regulation is less pronounced if people do high-intensity interval training: https://t.co/vrzyqA3Yxp

[Mohana @hellomohana]

@foundmyfitness Shall we point out that this study was done only on men? I wonder how well this result generalizes to women, especially women who may have a condition like PCOS.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Exercise may mitigate some of the mortality risks linked to poor sleep.

People who slept less than 6 hours a night had a decreased life expectancy compared to those that slept between 6-8 hours a night - but only in people that were NOT physically active.

[Mohana @hellomohana]

Stay informed, and take the lead on your #hormonalhealth. Not every doctor will request these tests, but PCOS is complex, and it is key to understand your potential root cause.
Thanks for reading this far 🙏 #womenshealth #hormones #insulin

[Mohana @hellomohana]

What's next after a #pcos diagnosis?

[Mohana @hellomohana]

(more on #3): if possible, request an OGTT looking at your glucose at every 30-min interval. This will give you a better idea, if your insulin resistance isn't advanced yet.
