PCOS Explained: Understanding What’s Really Driving Your Symptoms

If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, told to “just manage it,” or feel like you’ve been handed a label without a real explanation, this episode is for you.PCOS is not just an ovarian condition and it’s definitely not something that looks the same for every woman.In this episode, I break down what Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome actually is, why the name itself is misleading, and how the Rotterdam diagnostic criteria only tell part of the story. We talk about the real drivers behind PCOS symptoms including insulin resistance, inflammation, stress, and post-pill changes. I also walk through the blood tests I would be pushing for as a naturopath, and where supplements like inositol, berberine, zinc and vitamin D fit in but only when they’re targeted properly.If you’re ready to investigate properly and get personalised support, I offer 15-minute discovery calls to see if working together is the right fit.⁠You can book a discovery call here⁠Or if you’re ready to go straight into a full consultation and comprehensive testing,⁠ you can book here⁠Love Mia x
