From Dismissed to Optimized
Rewriting the Women’s Hormone Story
Summary
From dismissed symptoms to empowered solutions, this conversation is a must-watch for any woman navigating PCOS, hormone imbalances, or feeling unheard in the healthcare system.
In this powerful webinar, Katy Whalen (Co-Founder of Joi Women’s Wellness), Mila Magnani (Founder of Milamend), and Tessa Harkey (Nurse + Partnerships Director at Joi) dive deep into the realities of living with PCOS, the gaps in traditional care, and what it truly takes to optimize women’s hormones.
Mila shares her deeply personal journey, from struggling with cystic acne, irregular cycles, fatigue, misdiagnoses, and medical dismissal — to finally uncovering the root causes behind her symptoms and creating a science-backed supplement designed specifically for women with PCOS
Together, they unpack:
✨ What PCOS actually looks like (and why up to 70% of women may go undiagnosed)
✨ The metabolic and insulin resistance connection, and why PCOS is more nuanced than weight alone
✨ How birth control can mask hormone issues and impact lab testing
✨ The importance of comprehensive lab testing, and why interpretation matters more than “normal ranges”
✨ Thyroid, immune health, Epstein-Barr, inflammation, and histamine connections
✨ Foundational lifestyle shifts: sleep, blood sugar balance, strength training, and sustainable movement
✨ Magnesium, Vitamin D, and nutrient deficiencies commonly overlooked in women with hormone imbalance
✨ GLP-1s, microdosing, peptides, and metabolic support
✨ Why women deserve clinicians who actually listen
Mila also breaks down what’s inside Milamend, including:
• 40:1 Inositol blend (the gold standard for PCOS)
• Chromium for blood sugar balance
• CoQ10 + Alpha Lipoic Acid for energy + egg health
• Selenium for thyroid support
• Methylated folate
• Zinc for acne + immune health
• Targeted amino acids for gut and immune function
This is a conversation about hope, resilience, and taking your health back into your own hands.
