Welcome back to Fertility Friendly Food podcast! In this episode, to wrap up our PCOS mini-series for PCOS Awareness Month, we delve into the connection between PCOS and mental health, including some jaw-dropping stats on eating disorders.

We explore statistics revealing higher rates of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders among those with PCOS and addressing these is crucial. Avoiding generic diet advice, prioritising comprehensive care, and open conversations about mental well-being are key.

As we wrap up our PCOS mini-series, we invite you to tune in and gain valuable insights. If you've enjoyed our content, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating and mention our PCOS mini-series in your Apple Podcasts review!
