Episode Synopsis

Hello, gorgeous humans! In this episode, we’re diving into polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)—a common yet often undiagnosed hormonal and metabolic condition affecting women in their reproductive years. Despite its prevalence, over 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed, leading to years of untreated symptoms such as irregular periods, insulin resistance, unwanted weight gain, and even infertility.
I share a client’s frustrating experience of being dismissed by her doctor and discuss the importance of advocating for your health. We’ll explore the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosis, common PCOS symptoms, and the underlying factors like insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut health.
This episode is packed with actionable insights to help you feel informed, empowered, and ready to have meaningful conversations with your healthcare team. You are your greatest healer, and I’m here to support you in reclaiming your health.
Highlights:

The widespread underdiagnosis of PCOS
Symptoms to look out for, including irregular periods, hair loss, and acne
The mental health impact of PCOS: from anxiety to body image issues
