  • Summary

  • Hormonally Yours with The Hormone Dietitian Hi, I’m Melissa Groves Azzaro, an award-winning integrative women’s health dietitian. I’ve helped thousands of women struggling with hormone-related issues and helped them identify and address the root causes of THEIR hormone imbalances, so they can have regular, symptom-free periods and optimize their fertility naturally. My mission is to be the no-BS hormone nutrition education resource for smart, busy women struggling with hormone imbalances. Most of the women I work with are bosses in every area of their life except their own hormones. And they appreciate learning the science and wanting to understand they WHY behind their symptoms… but what they don’t have is TIME to do their own research. And there’s so much misinformation out there around what actually works. As a licensed healthcare practitioner, my hope with this podcast is to dispel some of those myths and give you the information you actually need to feel better and thrive by living a more balanced life. A little disclosure – the information I share on this podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended to be taken as medical advice. Yes, I’m A dietitian, but I am not YOUR dietitian. Always consult with YOUR healthcare provider before implementing diet, exercise, or supplement changes. Join me each week as I share science-based information about PCOS, fertility, and other hormone imbalances, interview guest experts who specialize in this field and talk with women just like you.

    Breast Cancer Nutrition
    Oct 25 2022

    Does nutrition make a difference in breast cancer prevention, treatment, and recurrence? If so, what specific changes make the most difference? There are so many myths about breast cancer nutrition that I wanted to find out what's really true by talking with an oncology dietitian who specializes in breast cancer.

    I wanted to know... is it true that sugar feeds cancer? Do you have to go vegan after a breast cancer diagnosis? What about soy? And more...

    In this episode, I'm talking to Tamar Rothenberg, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian who specializes in recovery after breast cancer in her private practice in Los Angeles. She co-led the clinical study, Coping with Cancer in the Kitchen, published in the journal Nutrients. She is also the author of a new book, Cancer Diet for the Newly Diagnosed, which focuses not only on breast cancer but all cancers. And she is a breast cancer thriver herself.

    This Week We Talk About: 
    • Myths around nutrition following a breast cancer diagnosis and why some recommendations do more harm than good
    • The most important goals of nutrition through breast cancer diagnosis and treatment
    • What may shift in your nutrition plan after completion of treatment
    • Why "breast cancer prevention" is itself a myth... and research-based tips to reduce risk of recurrence
    • Why you don't have to go vegan to benefit from adding plants to your diet
    • The real truth about soy and breast cancer
    • Lifestyle and supplement recommendations for breast cancer thrivers
    • Resources for people thriving after breast cancer

  • Why Work With a Dietitian Doula?

    Why Work With a Dietitian Doula?
    Oct 18 2022

    If you're thinking about trying to conceive... why might you want to consider working with a doula? What's the difference between a doula and a midwife? Can you work with a doula if you're having a hospital birth? When should you reach out to a doula during pregnancy? I had these questions about working with a doula and more, and I suspect you do too!

    In this episode, I'm talking to Erika Watson-Lawson, who is not only a doula but a dietitian as well. In fact, she refers to herself as a Doula-Dietitian Diva and a Dietitian by Day, Doula by Night, and she is able to help her clients in a unique way, supporting them not only through preparing for birth physically but also nutritionally!

    Erika, founder of Purely Nourishing Doula, has been a registered dietitian for over 15 years, and added virtual and in-person (Jacksonville, FL area) doula services which include nutrition coaching, pregnancy and labor services, and postpartum care. She strives to educate and empower pregnant people and their partners through the whole process. Having PCOS herself, and the mother of 4 (including a set of twins!), she not only knows what she's talking about, but she's been there herself!

    In this episode, I'm talking with Erika about all the reasons why you might want to consider having a doula on your team for your next birth!

    This Week We Talk About: 
    • What doulas do, the difference between doulas and midwives, and who might benefit from doula support
    • The different times and places where doulas can offer support to birthing parents
    • How being a doula dietitian allows her support her clients with 360º care
    • What working with a virtual doula actually looks like
    • How doulas work with birth partners to keep them involved in the process
    • The importance of doulas in the Black community
    • Why postpartum support is essential and what to focus on
    • Erika's personal journey with PCOS and becoming a mother
