Reproductive Health, PCOS and Menopause with Dr. Anna Glezer
Manage episode 388817720 series 3451144
Women’s reproductive health is a multifaceted division of healthcare that actually affects more areas of the body and general health and wellness than you might think. Today I am welcoming onto the podcast Dr. Anna Glezer, a psychiatrist who practices reproductive and integrative psychiatry, and focusing heavily on perimenopause, menopause and PCOS. Dr. Glezer and I get into some important content right off the bat, covering everything from the specifics of treating patients who struggle with PCOS, to listing some practical goals that you might consider setting that can improve your overall wellness and your reproductive health.
I am honored to have had Dr. Glezer on today, and I know you’re going to enjoy and appreciate this content as much as I enjoyed this interview myself. Thanks for listening!

Quotes
I really focus on the theme of acceptance of whatever decisions we make. Acceptance kind of goes along with forgiveness because oftentimes what we end up doing with past decisions is we judge them based on current information which we did not have when we made the decision. So you're like ‘Monday morning quarterbacking’ your entire life, which isn't fair to past you. - Anna Glezer MD
The size and shape of our bodies has so much to do with things that are completely outside of our control, having to do with genetics and trauma and epigenetics. - Anna Glezer MD
There are so many things that we can do for our bodies, regardless of their size, that can keep us healthy. - Anna Glezer MD
Society tells us that our size is something we should have control over, and that kind of pressure is what leads to a lot of negative self-talk, negative self esteem and challenges with body image. - Anna Glezer MD
I think that setting goals that are not based on numbers on a scale can be really healthy because they're much more achievable. - Anna Glezer MD
The data just does not support that losing weight for the purpose of losing weight has any long term success. - Anna Glezer MD
We have this really complex endocrine system and everything is interrelated. So if you make a tweak in one part of the system, it's absolutely going to have downstream effects in other parts of the system. - Anna Glezer MD
