In this episode with Dr Herman Weiss, we discuss polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and steps you can take, before medication,to help manage symptoms. These steps can also help with other hormonal issues as well. This is an important conversation for all women to hear. 

Like me, Dr Weiss believes that although we may need medication at times, there are many things we need to do to improve our health before taking medication.  This isn't a quick fix, but it can make incredible changes in your health and well-being. 

Dr Weiss is the founder and CEO of Provation Life. After receiving his MD from Ohio State University, Dr. Herman Weiss earned his MBA from George Washington University, and was Speciality trained in Women’s Health at Einstein/Monterfiore Bronx, NY. He was a co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of FibroControl, a company involved in minimally invasive techniques to treat women with fibroids. Throughout his career he has always sought the holistic approach to curing and preventing disease. Dr. Weiss is an OBGYN expert in hormonal irregularities and reproductive health, and has been helping women with PCOS to regain control of their ovarian health for over 2 decades.

We may not be able to go back to the days when athletes played one different sport per season, but there may be a higher risk of injury when they start specializing early. In this episode I discuss my own thoughts on the risk vs reward in early specialization and I offer some tips to help reduce injuries for all athletes.

You know you need to warm up before you exercise but did you know that shorter stretches, and more active movement is better than longer stretching before an activity? Or that conditioning is better after an activity or even better on an off day? In this episode Laura discusses why we need to be better when planning our workouts for ourselves and our athletes.

This episode is dedicated to my high school classmate Doug Chambers who recently passed away. Life throws us curveballs sometimes and it can really hit us in the gut. Times like these remind us of what is truly important in life and it's not just about how we look

In these hot days of summer, remember to take it a bit slower, listen to your body, and remember to hydrate. Most importantly, give your loved ones a hug and tell them how you feel TODAY because tomorrow is not promised. 

Much love to all of my Bethlehem Central High School Class of 1985 classmates. Stay healthy. I am so grateful to have known all of you.

Hey guys!

Even when our food is spot on aond our activity level is on the rise, losing weight is not easy. In fact it's downright frustrating. 

In this episode I talk about my ferustration...AND giving myself some grace. My energy levels are up. I'm busier than I have been in a long time. And I'm eating better on a whole. 

Sometimes we have to acknowledge the good and give ourself some credit even when it doesn't seem like we are making progress.

Thanks for listening! It means the world to me.

Have a great week!

Life gets in the way of best intentions sometimes. It's how we handle them that keep us moving in the right direction.

Summer is coming and I'm working on getting back to feeling healthy. 

This was a good week. I started using a new step counter which is a huge help with encouraging me to move. 

Most importantly, I'm starting to listen to what my body needs while including more veges in my meals.

I recorded this episode as I was walking on this glorious day. As such, the sound is a little off and the traffic only adds to the entertainment. 

I've read a lot recently by parents who are frustrated because their kids have lost muscle tone. Not in the way of injury, but because they aren't in the gym as much anymore. When did being involved in a sport become about muscle tone? And how does this affect us long term?

So often we only think about the physical attributes to exercise and don't enjoy the journey. I hope this episode reminds you to enjoy the process more than the outcome.
