🎙️ In this episode of The Arc Woman Podcast, we dive into the complex landscape of PCOS, a condition affecting 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. Join me as we unravel the misleading name of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, break down its key symptoms, and explore the underlying causes.

🔍 This episode provides a comprehensive look into the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosing PCOS, highlighting how insulin resistance, gut inflammation, & adrenal dysfunction are often at the root of this condition. We'll debunk common myths, including whether hormonal birth control can cause PCOS, and discuss the role of thyroid health in managing symptoms.

💬 From irregular cycles to weight gain, excessive hair growth, & anxiety, we explore how interconnected the body's systems are and why PCOS isn't just about fertility—it's about metabolic and hormonal balance.

🌿 I’ll also share practical solutions for managing PCOS, including strength training, lowering carb intake, & the importance of eating enough protein to support hormonal health. Plus, we'll dive into key supplements like magnesium glycinate & Omega-3s that can make a difference in how you feel.
