This week, Kara and Kylie welcome a former guest, Letisha Bates, back to the podcast! Letisha is an acclaimed PCOS coach, licensed nurse, and future dietitian.

Letisha joins your hosts to share her recent Endocrine Collective rebrand, and dive further into common misconceptions and frequently asked questions surrounding PCOS. They give advice on how to approach doctor's appointments and how to be prepared if you suspect you have PCOS, including specific labs to request, and the nuances around the use of medication for PCOS versus natural approaches (and how to combine these items). Additionally, they weigh in on how soon before trying to get pregnant someone should come off of hormonal birth control, and why you may need to work a little harder through a post-birth control transition to regulate your cycle and fertility. Lastly, they discuss nutrition strategies that are beneficial for PCOS, and whether or not you HAVE to go gluten/dairy free.

Letisha is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to PCOS, and this episode is packed with value!
