GLP-1s & PCOS: What The Research Actually Shows

from The Arc Woman Podcast · host Arc Woman

🧬 In this solo episode I unpack the growing hype around GLP-1 medications and PCOS, and why research headlines don’t always translate to real women’s bodies.📊 I explain what the evidence actually shows, including reliable improvements in insulin sensitivity and androgen markers, alongside mixed and inconsistent findings for cycle regularity, ovulation, fertility outcomes, and ovarian structure.⚖️ We look at the limitations of current research, most studies are short term and conducted in women who are overweight or obese, and why weight loss and metabolic improvements appear to drive many reproductive benefits.📚 For deeper support, explore my PCOS resources: Heal PCOS The Infradian Way, The PCOS Masterclass & PCOS Symptom Solution Chartarcwoman.com.auAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
