This week we’re diving into something that affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age — Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In this episode, I’m breaking down what PCOS actually is, who it impacts, and why awareness around it matters. I’ll also share a glimpse into my own ongoing journey with PCOS, the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens that so many of us face.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, are supporting a loved one, or are simply curious, this episode is full of resources and encouragement for my fellow cysters. You are not alone.
