In this episode of SheMD, hosts Mary Alice Haney and Dr. A sit down with Hannah Brown to unpack her long and complex health journey with PMOS, fertility challenges, and a recently discovered uterine septum. Hannah shares how years of irregular periods, cystic acne, weight fluctuations, and anxiety were repeatedly overlooked before she finally received a clear diagnosis. She opens up about navigating public life while silently struggling with her health, and how getting the right medical support completely changed her trajectory. Dr. A breaks down the science behind PMOS, insulin resistance, and hormone disruption, explaining how metabolic health impacts ovulation, fertility, and long-term well-being. The conversation also explores uterine anomalies, surgical treatment options, and why early diagnosis is critical for reproductive health. The episode also highlights Hannah’s mental health journey, including therapy and EMDR, and how addressing trauma and inflammation helped her rebuild both her physical and emotional health.
