Back to Episodes93. Hope for POI and Early Menopause: What Restorative Medicine Can Do
Episode 93
Published 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Welcome back to Cycle Wisdom with Dr. Monica Minjeur. In this episode, we’re diving deep into a diagnosis that can feel like a door slamming shut—Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), sometimes called early menopause. If you’ve ever been told your AMH is undetectable or your only option is donor eggs, this episode is for you.
We begin with Olivia’s powerful story—misdiagnosed, dismissed, and then restored through the compassionate care of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM). Her journey from hopelessness to holding her healthy baby girl is a testament to what’s possible.
Dr. Minjeur explains:
- What POI really means (and what it doesn’t)
- Why AMH is not the final word
- How cycle tracking and bioidentical hormone support can uncover hidden potential
- The role of low-dose naltrexone and how RRM digs deeper when conventional care stops short
- And yes—pregnancy is still possible, even with POI
If you've been told there's nothing more to do, this episode offers a different story—one grounded in evidence, compassion, and hope.
