In this eye-opening episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with Allison Cale, founder of The Confidence Clinic, to explore a side of PCOS that’s often overlooked—thin women struggling with the same hormonal and metabolic imbalances as those with higher BMIs. Together, they unpack how insulin resistance can quietly affect women who appear “healthy” on the outside and why new research is redefining PCOS beyond weight alone. Allison breaks down the evolving diagnostic criteria for PCOS, the myths surrounding insulin resistance, and the hidden signs many women miss—like fatigue, brain fog, and disrupted sleep. She also shares what functional labs can reveal long before symptoms escalate, and how lifestyle, stress, and nutrition play pivotal roles in restoring hormone balance. If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” or felt dismissed because you don’t fit the typical PCOS mold, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to start advocating for your own healing journey.
