Most PCOS Treatments Don’t Fix High Testosterone


Listen Later

High testosterone in PCOS is often treated like a hormone problem by itself, but that can miss what is actually driving it. In this video, I break down why elevated androgens in PCOS are so often connected to insulin resistance, how that affects SHBG and free testosterone, and why symptoms like acne, hair loss, excess facial hair, and irregular cycles can all trace back to the same root issue.

You’ll learn:

  • why insulin resistance is one of the biggest drivers of high testosterone in PCOS
  • which labs to ask for, including free and total testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, fasting insulin, and fasting glucose
  • the lifestyle changes that may have the biggest impact on lowering androgens
  • which supplements may support insulin sensitivity and hormone balance
  • where medications like metformin, GLP-1s, birth control, and spironolactone fit in
  • This is a practical breakdown of what may actually help, what mainly manages symptoms, and how to think more clearly about your options if you have PCOS and elevated testosterone.
