About this episode
If you have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, you can probably relate to your symptoms taking a dive for the worse and no matter what you do nothing seems to help. This episode will discuss what is going on and how to break that downward spiral when chaos hits your hormones. PCOS is a complex syndrome with many contributing hormone systems at play. These include your reproductive hormones, stress hormones, nutrition hormones, thyroid hormones as well as others. All of these are affected by your lifestyle but they also impact your lifestyle. For example, what you eat affects your insulin system which in turn might be turning on the overproduction of certain androgens. But in reverse, these disturbances can lead to energy slumps, poor sleep, anxiety, and increased stress which will make it even more difficult to manage your PCOS. This is what I call a hormone storm and it can literally feel like your hormones are in tornado mode. The good news is that this is not as hard to calm down as you might think and that is what this episode is all about! So if you are ready to calm your hormone storm go ahead and listen now.
