The Truth about PCOS

Shocking new research

In this week’s episode, we discuss Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome also known as “PCOS”. PCOS is among the leading causes of infertility among women of childbearing age and having this condition increases your risk of developing a myriad of other diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease and depression.

PCOS is largely a disease of poor lifestyle choices with some rare genetic exceptions.

There are many women who believe they are making correct dietary choices. However, this is often not the case as they are being misled and given incorrect information by untrustworthy media pundits and outdated guidelines that preach high carbohydrate diets with scarce amounts of protein and fat. In this episode, we discuss the pathophysiology of PCOS, what actually causes it, and how to reverse it. We delve into new nutritional research as well as supplementation that is critical to treating this condition. Lastly, we talk about the role physical therapy has in managing the symptoms of PCOS.

We all have a sister, a daughter, a granddaughter or a friend who may be affected by PCOS. Please share this with them so that they can start implementing the necessary changes to order to prevent and treat this devastating disease.
