Geek Discussion: Our PCOS Stories, or How Medicine Says FU to People With Uteruses

PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a metabolic condition that so, so many women have, including hosts Amanda and Moni. In this episode, we talk about our own experiences with it, how we have coped over the years, and the long, frustrating journey with medical doctors.

Let's get into what PCOS is, how it impacts the lives of the folks who have it, why the medical system consistently fails us, and then some shaving tips!

We also talk about Dr. Felish Gersh, Amanda's PCOS doctor crush, and recommend checking her out, especially her book!
