Even this doctor struggled to get her PCOS under control, and what did help

In this gritty conversation, Clare interviews Dr Stephanie, a physician who shares her personal and professional journey dealing with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Stephanie shares incredible advice around how we should view our doctors or primary care providers' advice on our own health journey, and how it ultimately is our own decision about the steps we move forward with. Stephanie also shares with us great tips for how to advocate for ourselves with a diagnosis, or how to feel confident seeking multiple perspectives from different physicians.  Stephanie shares her journey of as she puts it - sciencing the sh*t out of her PCOS - to help her make informed decisions when it came to her health.Regular bleeds but irregular cycles are discussed (yes, there is a difference!), as well as dealing with unexplained weight gain and difficulties losing weight and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) are just some of the juicy topics covered in this podcast.
