Ep 74: HA or PCOS? You may not know, and it may not matter


Listen Later

While the etiology of HA and PCOS are very different, the two conditions can present very similarly in the clinical setting. In this episode, Sam and I unpack the similarities and differences between HA and PCOS and share some foundational nutrition and lifestyle habits that are beneficial for healthy hormones and fertility if you’re unsure which condition you have.

 

Sam Abbott, MSEd, RD, LDN, is a registered dietitian nutritionist who helps those with PCOS ditch diets and balance hormones without feeling guilty or stressed about food. She is the owner of PCOS Nutrition Company, where she helps clients  improve hormone regulation without a side of diet culture or weight stigma. In her Nourished with PCOS Program Collective, her non-diet nutrition membership, she empowers people with PCOS to find peace and balance with nutrition, hormones, body and life. You can find Sam on Instagram at @‌pcos.nutritionist or on her podcast, the Nourished with PCOS Podcast, where she gives free tips and support around managing PCOS without dieting.

 

In this Episode

  • Why weight shouldn’t be the focus when it comes to balancing your hormones

  • Looking holistically at each individual to accurately diagnose PCOS

  • Why nutrition recommendations for PCOS and HA don’t have to conflict

  • Understanding the different “types” of PCOS
