The Hormone Genius Podcast

In our last 2 episodes we discussed mental health awareness, and issues that women can suffer through, like trauma. One thing that unfortunately can occur is that birth doesn't always go the way we expect it too. If fact, for some women may be a traumatic experience and not a joyful one. We though it would be good for both of us to look back at our own birth experiences and share them with eachother. Jamie & Teresa have never shared this information with eachother before so it was all new, and fun to share and learn about how our birth stories went. We know how important it is for women to process these stories after birth and to realize we all have these individually unique experiences. Sharing allows for healing, and we hope you enjoy this podcast of just looking back and sharing our birth stories with eachother! We hope it inspires you to share your birth story whether it a friend, a family member, or even a professional, it is helpful, and birth is such a important and powerful experience in each woman's life.

Have you ever struggled with anxiety? Has anxiety caused your quality of life to suffer? Anxiety is real and affects so many people. Mental health is as important as physical health and so we want to dive deep into what causes anxiety, how it manifests physically and mentally in a person, and how it can be treated.

Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast, we're diving into a highly specific but deeply important topic: Luteinized Unruptured Follicle (LUF) Syndrome. While this condition may not apply to every listener, for those it does affect, understanding it is crucial. Every menstrual cycle, your body naturally forms a cyst on one ovary called a follicle, which grows to around 2.2 cm and then releases an egg during ovulation. This is a normal and essential part of the reproductive cycle. However, sometimes this process doesn’t go as planned. There are many types of ovarian cysts, and when they become abnormal, they can interfere with ovulation, cause pain, and even impact fertility. A LUF cyst occurs when the follicle matures and undergoes luteinization — but fails to release the egg. Instead, it fills with fluid or debris and continues to grow. While this condition is often overlooked, it can have real implications for women struggling with unexplained infertility or cycle irregularities. In this episode, Teresa and Jamie unpack what LUF is, how it differs from other ovarian cysts, how it can be identified, and what treatment options or considerations might be helpful. Our goal is to equip you with knowledge, because understanding your body is the first step toward advocating for the care you deserve. 🔔 A quick reminder: This episode is intended for informational purposes only.
