PCOS: Lifestyle Changes for Infertility, Inflammation, Hormone Balance and more

This podcast episode focuses on PCOS and the lifestyle changes that can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals with this condition. PCOS is a common endocrine issue in reproductive women, characterized by hormone imbalances and inflammation. Nurse Doza emphasizes the importance of tracking monthly cycles in-depth, including duration, pain, discomfort, clotting, and other factors. They highlight the significance of considering the monthly cycle as a "report card" that reflects a woman's lifestyle and body's response to it. Additionally, the host suggests tracking hormone levels through lab work to identify specific hormone imbalances and address them effectively. By actively tracking cycles and hormones, individuals with PCOS can gain a better understanding of their condition and make targeted lifestyle changes to improve their quality of life.
