Why PCOS Is More Than a Reproductive Disorder

Join me in this episode, as I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh to unpack PCOS—the most common endocrine disorder affecting women. We explore why PCOS is far more than ovarian cysts, touching on hormone imbalances, circadian rhythm dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, and infertility. Dr. Gersh explains how precision testing, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and bioidentical hormones can help restore balance, fertility, and vitality.-----Felice Gersh, MD, is a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine.
