You’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, handed a prescription, and sent on your way—but no one explained what’s actually happening in your body. Why does PCOS make it harder to manage weight? Why are cravings and fatigue so relentless? And what does insulin resistance have to do with it?
The truth is, insulin resistance plays a major role in PCOS—yet it’s often misunderstood or overlooked. When your body struggles to use insulin effectively, it can lead to inflammation, weight gain, and an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. But here’s the good news: small, strategic changes can make a big difference.
In this episode, Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia, a Triple Board-Certified Endocrinologist and Women’s Metabolic Health Expert, joins us to break down what really works. From movement and nutrition to key supplements, we’ll explore how to manage insulin resistance and take back control of your health. Plus, Dr. Patil-Sisodia shares insights from her new Eastside Menopause & Metabolism Clinic—a practice dedicated to helping women feel their best during perimenopause and menopause.
