She is the co-author of Blossom Living With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency / Early Menopause Journal and is the co-founder of the charity Innocence Lost Foundation.

In this episode, Ava discusses her experiences of her POI diagnosis when she was 17 and how confused and isolated she felt at the time.

Ava’s 3 tips:
- Advocate for yourself, even though its frustrating and exhausting

- Don’t underestimate the impact of hormones on your physical and mental health
