PCOS can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when you’re first hearing the diagnosis. My goal in this episode is to break things down in a clear, straightforward way so you can better understand what’s happening in your body. I talk about common symptoms, how PCOS can affect menstrual cycles and ovulation, and why higher testosterone levels play such an important role.

We also explore how PCOS is diagnosed, including what doctors look for on ultrasound, and why PCOS can impact fertility for some people. Throughout the episode, I focus on helping you feel informed—not alarmed—because understanding your health is the first step toward managing it.

This episode is the beginning of a larger conversation. In upcoming episodes, I’ll dive deeper into topics like PCOS and weight changes, associated health risks, lab testing, and treatment options so you can feel empowered to make decisions that are right for you.

If you or someone you love is navigating PCOS, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Be sure to follow the podcast for more honest, practical conversations about women’s health.
