The Proof with Simon Hill

How to regain hormonal health with PCOS | Dr Nitu Bajekal


Listen Later

In Episode #196 I’m joined by Dr Nitu Bajekal to discuss PCOS and how to manage it. Hormonal health is an area that is often underdiagnosed, undertreated, and stigmatised. Dr Nitu Bajekal has dedicated her career to helping people manage their hormonal and reproductive health, and in this episode we deep dive into her wealth of knowledge on PCOS.


Specifically, we cover:

  • What PCOS is and its prevalence (7:15)
  • Diagnosis criteria and symptoms (24:45)
  • Defining and approaching insulin resistance (41:35)
  • Concerns about low carb, animal-based diets (1:01:20)
  • Lifestyle recommendations for symptom management and long term health (1:01:40)
  • Supplement and food recommendations (1:32:30)
  • And much more.

  • To learn more or connect with Dr Nitu Bajekal, you can access her website and Instagram. Her book, Living PCOS Free, is now available for pre-order Book Depository and Booktopia. You can listen to her previous episode here, and check out the Plant Proof website for the full show notes.


    Enjoy, friends.
