PCOS Explained

Navigating PCOS: Katherine’s Story


Listen Later

In this episode, we are revisiting a conversation with Katherine, who bravely shares her story of navigating PCOS from her teenage years into her forties. She opens up about the struggles she faced—late diagnosis, dealing with weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue, and the emotional toll of trying to figure out what worked for her body.


We talk about the frustration of being told to “just lose weight” as a solution, the confusion around conflicting PCOS advice, and the moment she realized that insulin resistance was at the root of her symptoms.


Katherine shares how small but powerful changes—starting with something as simple as breakfast—transformed her energy levels, reduced cravings, and gave her a whole new perspective on managing PCOS.


We also dive into some common PCOS myths, like the idea that menopause will magically “fix” PCOS or that getting a hysterectomy is the answer. Spoiler: It’s not. Instead, we discuss why focusing on the root cause is the real game-changer and how taking control now can make a huge difference in long-term health.


Katherine’s journey is one that so many of us can relate to—the frustration, the trial and error, but ultimately, the hope that comes with understanding what’s really going on in your body. If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or like you’re just meant to struggle with PCOS forever, this episode is for you.
