Episode 88: PCOS Explained: Restoring Hormone Health & Reproductive Function with Dr. Tracey Parnell

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common—and most misunderstood—reproductive diagnoses facing women today. In this informative and hope-filled episode, hosts Amy and Emily are joined by Dr. Tracey Parnell, a board-certified Canadian physician and researcher, to unpack what PCOS really is and what it isn’t. Together, they explore how PCOS develops, the underlying hormonal and metabolic disruptions at play, and why so many conventional approaches focus on symptom suppression rather than true healing. Dr. Parnell shares a cooperative, restorative approach to treatment—one that works with a woman’s body to restore ovulation, improve hormone health, and support long-term reproductive function. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, suspect you may have it, or simply want a clearer understanding of women’s reproductive health through the lens of Natural Family Planning and restorative medicine, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and real solutions rooted in respect for the female body. 🎧 Listen in for a conversation that replaces confusion with understanding—and diagnosis with hope.
