Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that causes a range of symptoms like irregular periods, acne, hair loss, weight gain, and fertility problems. It affects one in seven women and in this episode, we will explore the signs and symptoms of PCOS and the various ways it can be diagnosed.

I discuss the mainstream treatment options for PCOS, including lifestyle changes and common medications. I dive into functional labs and how they can give us more insight into managing PCOS symptoms effectively. You’ll learn about strategies to start healing your PCOS, the importance of balancing your blood sugar, how to choose the right carbs, my thoughts on caffeine, repleting your minerals, supplements to consider, strength training, sleep hygiene, and so much more.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be armed with a wealth of knowledge that will empower you to take charge of your PCOS diagnosis instead of letting it take charge of you.

If you’re ready to ditch the mainstream treatment options and want to take a more holistic approach, consider enrolling in my functional lab program, The Collective. This six-month program includes a hair and stool test and provides personalized one-on-one support to help you identify the underlying issues that are impacting your PCOS healing journey.
