Irregular periods: Is it PCOS, hypothalamic suppression, or something else?

Saison 4 · Épisode 18

jeudi 18 décembre 2025 • Durée 15:22

If you’ve struggled with irregular periods, you might have noticed it can be a little tricky to figure out exactly what’s going on—and, therefore, exactly what you need to do to get your period back.

In this episode, Lara discusses:

the two most common explanations for irregular periods,
how to tell them apart, and
how hypothalamic amenorrhea is frequently misdiagnosed as PCOS.

The hidden story of endometriosis: Pain, lesions, and the microbiome

Saison 4 · Épisode 17

mardi 27 mai 2025 • Durée 15:37

If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, the big question is: What type of lesions?

In this episode, Lara challenges long-held assumptions to explore:

the three types of endometriosis lesions,
emerging evidence that superficial lesions may not explain pain or other symptoms,
alternative explanations for pelvic pain and infertility, including pelvic congestion, immune dysfunction, and gut microbiome imbalance, and
an update on the bacterial contamination hypothesis.

Help for post-pill acne, hair loss, and weight gain

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

lundi 11 juillet 2022 • Durée 11:57

What do post-pill acne, hair loss, and weight gain all have in common? They can all be the result of a temporary surge in androgens when trying to come off certain types of hormonal birth control.

In this episode, Lara discusses post-pill androgen symptoms including:

why pills like Yasmin are the hardest to come off
how androgens can cause weight gain, and
natural treatments such as zinc, berberine, and cyclic progesterone therapy.

Top 6 natural treatments for premenstrual mood symptoms

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mercredi 1 juin 2022 • Durée 13:14

Are premenstrual mood symptoms caused by progesterone or helped by progesterone? And why do antihistamines give such relief?

In this episode, Lara discusses premenstrual mood symptoms including:

the role of histamine and mast cell activation
progesterone sensitivity, and
effective natural treatments such as magnesium, iodine, and body-identical progesterone.

The most common cause of weight gain

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 10 mai 2022 • Durée 14:26

There can be a strong hormonal component to abdominal weight gain. And in most people, that hormone is insulin.

In this episode, Lara discusses insulin resistance including:

why you could have insulin resistance even if your blood sugar is normal
the role of mitochondria, and
all the ways to lower insulin and improve metabolism.

A safer type of hormone therapy

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 5 avril 2022 • Durée 12:39

If you're going to take hormone therapy, it's safer to take hormones that are identical to human hormones. In other words, hormones that are body-identical or bioidentical. The concept of bioidentical used to be controversial but is now conventional and mainstream.

In this episode, Lara discusses hormone therapy including:

why the concept of bioidentical was controversial when it didn't need to be
oral micronized progesterone for heavy periods, mood, sleep, and perimenopausal migraines, and
some facts about body-identical estrogen (four uncontroversial things and one controversial).

Endometriosis is a disease of immune dysfunction

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

dimanche 20 mars 2022 • Durée 12:03

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that’s affected by hormones but is not caused by hormones. Instead, endometriosis is, at least in part, a disease of immune dysfunction.

In this episode, Lara discusses some of the new endometriosis research including:

the link with genes that increase the risk of autoimmune disease
the role of a bacterial toxin called lipopolysaccharide or LPS, and
new targets for natural immune-modulating treatment.

Why PCOS cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 8 mars 2022 • Durée 12:09

Were you told you have polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS based on a pelvic ultrasound? That may or may not be an accurate diagnosis because PCOS cannot actually be diagnosed or ruled out with ultrasound.

In this episode, Lara discusses PCOS including:

why PCOS is an umbrella term
the difference between polycystic ovaries and ovarian cysts, and
why some women with undereating and endometriosis are being mistakenly told they have PCOS.

Natural treatment of heavy periods

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

vendredi 18 février 2022 • Durée 10:48

In a normal period, you should not lose more than about 80 mL of menstrual fluid over all the days of the bleed. That’s equivalent to about five tablespoons spread over all the days of the bleed. In this episode, Lara discusses heavy periods including:

the role of hormone imbalance, mast cell activation, and insulin resistance,
simple period-lightening strategies such as iron, zinc, and a dairy-free diet, and
using body-identical progesterone to lighten periods.

Pill bleeds are not periods

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 3 février 2022 • Durée 12:09

The pill is commonly prescribed to "regulate periods," but it can't actually do that because withdrawal bleeds from contraceptive drugs are not real menstrual cycles.

In episode one of The Lara Briden Podcast, Dr Lara covers:

what is a real menstrual cycle
why there's no medical reason to bleed monthly on the pill, and
the difference between contraceptive drugs and real hormones.
