PCOS Explained

81: Can your PCOS root cause be different to other women in your family?


Listen Later

After getting diagnosed with PCOS, you don’t really get much help with what to do next. What dietary changes do I need to make? Can I continue to exercise the same way? What about supplements? What about pregnancy? How do I fix these symptoms?

It’s no wonder so many of us wind up down a rabbit warren of trying different diets, exercising like there’s no tomorrow, buying hundreds of dollars worth of supplements and just end up generally exhausted because it seems like we’re just going around in circles and not really getting anywhere with our PCOS.

I know how damn frustrating it can be because I’ve been in that very same spot. I found myself on PCOS forums, facebook groups and hunting through Dr. Google for something that actually worked. I don’t think you need me to tell you - that sh*t is exhausting beyond belief!

So in this episode, my lovely colleague Sophia and I are going to chat through more of your questions! In this episode we’re covering off:

  • General vitamins and minerals to take for PCOS
  • Is it normal for your PCOS to not come back after pregnancy?
  • Is it possible to have a different type of PCOS from my Mum and sister?
  • Is hiking a good form of exercise for PCOS?
  • Can you reverse hair loss?
  • How can you tell your hair is regrowing?

So if you’ve been dealing with hair loss, are unsure of your root cause, don’t know where to start with supplements for PCOS or just want to make sure you’re on the right track when it comes to improving your PCOS, tune in and listen! 

I hope these podcast episodes remind you that you aren’t alone in this journey and that you can get on top of these symptoms.

  • You don’t know which exercise is best for PCOS
