Painful cysts, oily skin and acne are just some of the symptoms people with PCOS face everyday. The constant fatigue, irregular periods and excessive hair growth impacts the daily life of many people, and the variety of symptoms makes PCOS one of the most difficult conditions to diagnose. The vastness of this condition means that there is no shortage of diet and lifestyle myths and misinformation to follow it! In this episode, Mim and Sara sit down with Tasnima Zaman and Alex Williams ANutr. We talk to Tasnima about her experience with PCOS, how it affects her everyday life and what she does not to manage it. Alex weighs in to debunk some of the myths around PCOS symptom management - and trust me, she brings the receipts!
