In this episode of Gyno Info, I continue our PCOS series and explain why weight gain — especially belly fat — is so common with PCOS.

We review the key symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), how I confirm the diagnosis with hormone blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound, and most importantly, the role of insulin resistance in driving weight gain, hunger, and long-term health risks like diabetes and heart disease.

If you’ve been struggling with irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, infertility, or weight that won’t budge despite your best efforts, this episode will help you understand what’s happening inside your body.

Next episode: PCOS treatment options and fertility.
