Hormones & PCOS: Connecting, Learning & Finding Balance
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women, yet nearly 70% don’t even know they have it. This event is about shedding light on this often-misunderstood condition and creating space for shared learning. Whether you’re managing PCOS, curious about your own health, or supporting someone else, this space is for you — all are welcome.
We’ll first hear from a panel of medical, nutrition, and fitness experts who will break down the science of PCOS and shed light on factors like insulin sensitivity that can often be overlooked. Equally important, they’ll share practical strategies for managing symptoms and living well. The panelists will feature:
Dr. Amy Day, ND - Founder & Clinic Director, Women's Vitality Center
Kriszta Tiwari - Holistic Nutritionist, Mothermelon
Payal Patel - Fitness Coach, Train with Payal
We’re also excited to feature a demo from Nikita Bansal, Founder & CEO of Auvra by Hormone Insight, an AI-powered women’s health company designed to provide real-time, deeply personalized hormonal support for women with conditions like PCOS.
After the panel and demo, we’ll gather in smaller circles with the speakers to ask questions, swap resources, and celebrate the wins (big or small) along our health journeys.
Light refreshments and hormone-nourishing snacks will be provided. This event is open to all genders, ages, and backgrounds (and no prior knowledge needed).
