We all go through seasons of growth and realignment, trying to stay grounded, build discipline, and stay true to ourselves. Every week, I’ll share honest conversations and reflections around faith, identity, discipline, purpose, health and everything in between. Sometimes it’s just me talking about what I’m learning, and other times I’ll sit down with people who inspire me to think deeper and live better. Some episodes will challenge you. Others will bring peace. But every one of them is here to remind you that you’re not alone, and that growth is never perfect, it’s personal. Welcome to Being Human with Leana Deeb.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T16:20:01.174911+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511"},"episode":{"title":"The Truth About PCOS, Periods & Women’s Hormones with Dr. Hazel Wallace","slug":"the-truth-about-pcos-periods-women-s-hormones-with-dr-hazel-wallace","published_at":"2026-07-23T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511/the-truth-about-pcos-periods-women-s-hormones-with-dr-hazel-wallace","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/p969720/traffic.megaphone.fm/PNO6635940198.mp3","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/p969720/traffic.megaphone.fm/PNO6635940198.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Leana sits down with Dr. Hazel Wallace — medical doctor, registered nutritionist, personal trainer, and founder of The Food Medic — for an honest, no-fluff conversation about the parts of women's health that rarely get explained properly. They get into what's actually happening in your body throughout your cycle, when period pain stops being \"normal\" and starts being a red flag, and why the supplement industry preys on exactly the confusion that leaves so many women without real answers. This one is for anyone who has ever been told their pain, their fatigue, or their irregular cycle was \"just stress,\" who has quietly wondered if what they're feeling is normal, or who wants to understand their body well enough to actually advocate for themselves in a doctor's office. Note: this episode was recorded before the announcement of PCOS's new name. Throughout the conversation, the condition is referred to as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) rather than its updated name, PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). Leana and Dr. Hazel get into: What's actually happening hormonally in each phase of your menstrual cycle, and why most women were never taught this How to tell the difference between normal period pain and a sign that something needs medical attention Whether you should train through your period, and how to actually listen to your body instead of forcing a routine Iron deficiency and anemia — who's at risk, the symptoms that get missed, and how to actually get tested The wild-west world of women's health supplements, and how to tell if one is actually worth taking Inositol for PCOS — what it is, how it works, and why it's becoming a first-line option before medication The real difference between PCOS and endometriosis, and why both get so often…","meta_description":"In this episode, Leana sits down with Dr. Hazel Wallace — medical doctor, registered nutritionist, personal trainer, and founder of The Food Medic — for a…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3099,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511/episodes/the-truth-about-pcos-periods-women-s-hormones-with-dr-hazel-wallace/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511/the-truth-about-pcos-periods-women-s-hormones-with-dr-hazel-wallace.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
