[The LOdown] Minerals for PCOS

PCOS is often talked about in terms of hormones, blood sugar, and fertility—but minerals are one of the most overlooked tools for managing symptoms and restoring balance. In this episode of the Strength in Hormones podcast, we explore how specific minerals like magnesium, chromium, zinc, selenium, and electrolytes can directly impact insulin resistance, thyroid health, adrenal function, and hormone balance.

You’ll also learn about the double-edged role of iron in PCOS, why testing matters, and how to individualize your mineral needs for better energy, cycles, and metabolism.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been navigating PCOS for years, this conversation will give you practical, science-backed insight into how minerals can be the missing link in your hormone health journey.
