This topic is meaningful to me because I was diagnosed with PCOS in my late 20’s.

PCOS is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. What you might not be aware of is that there is more than one form of PCOS. In this episode, I’ll describe the different forms. We’ll also discuss who is the most susceptible to PCOS and various health conditions that have a correlation with PCOS. Natural treatment for PCOS can make a huge difference. Listen in to find out the conditions that contribute to PCOS and what you can do about it.

Common deficiencies of a PCOS sufferer

Do you suffer from PCOS? There is a good chance, then, that you also have certain deficiencies. In this episode, I’ll list the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that are common to many people with PCOS, and how supplementation can make a difference. There are also hormonal issues that relate to PCOS. Listen in to find out what nutrients your body might need, how you can begin to get your hormones in balance, and how to get started with natural treatment for PCOS.

Foods to ditch and foods to fall in love with if you have PCOS

The foods you eat play a major role in your health, not just for nutrition, but also for digestion and hormonal balance. In this episode, I’ll let you know what foods to ditch and what foods to fall in love with when you are dealing with PCOS. Even small changes in your diet can make a difference. Listen in and be empowered to make the choices that will help your body fight PCOS.

A few key supplements that can help when you are suffering with PCOS

There are a number of vitamins and minerals that play a key role in hormone balance and PCOS. Stress, especially chronic stress, also affects your hormones. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, and hormone changes from stress, can also be contributing factors to issues like depression and anxiety. In this episode, I’ll explain which supplements can help you to get your body back in balance, relieve some of your stress, and provide a natural treatment for PCOS that can work in 3-6 months.
