Inositol vs Metformin vs Birth Control: What Actually Works for PCOS & Insulin Resistance?


Listen Later

#288: Most women with PCOS are given the same 3 options: birth control, metformin, or nothing. But when 80% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance, only one of those actually helps address the root cause.

In this episode, we break down the difference between inositol, metformin, and birth control for PCOS and discuss what actually works for insulin resistance and symptoms like cravings, fatigue, irregular periods, and stubborn belly weight.

You’ll learn:

- What insulin resistance really is and why it drives PCOS symptoms

- Inositol vs Metformin vs Birth Control, and how each one works

- How to pair inositol with diet, movement, sleep, and stress tools for better results

- What to look for when choosing the right inositol supplement for your journey

This episode is for you if:

- You’ve tried birth control or metformin but still feel stuck

- You want a safer, research-backed approach to insulin resistance with PCOS

- You’re curious if inositol could be the missing piece in your routine
