We age in a variety of ways, but as a society, we tend to focus mostly on how we age on the outside, rather than on the inside. For instance, we might use an array of skin products to treat our aging skin, but give little thought to the impact prescription medications have on how rapidly our organs age. Today on the Crushing PCOS podcast we dig into PCOS and aging. Tuning in you’ll learn the role that menopause and aging play in PCOS, and why consistent lifestyle changes should be the first method you use to treat PCOS.
