Subscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsWhat Is PCOS in Women, How It's Diagnosed? PCOS is not just a gynecology label, it is a whole-body syndrome that is widely missed in the exam room. In this episode, Dr. Taz explains why nearly seventy percent of women go undiagnosed, how PCOS often begins in the prenatal environment, and why it behaves like a metabolic and autoimmune condition. You will learn the signs most people overlook, the labs that actually matter, and a step-by-step plan that starts with the gut, supports the liver, balances blood sugar, and calms cortisol so real healing can begin.Dr. Taz shares: • Why the old Rotterdam criteria miss metabolic, inflammatory, and immune drivers • How prenatal hormones, medications, and toxins can program PCOS risk • The role of hyperandrogenism in insulin resistance, inflammation, acne, and hair loss • Why PCOS looks different by life stage and race, and what that means for care • The exact labs to request: DHT, AMH, free and total testosterone, DHEAS, 17-OHP, fasting insulin, lipids, CRP and more • A holistic protocol that begins with gut repair and liver support, then adds androgen and metabolic tools • How daily stress and the cortisol hum keep PCOS active, and practical ways to turn it downWhether you feel off but cannot explain why, are chasing a diagnosis, or want a long term plan for energy, fertility, and hormone balance, this episode gives you a clear roadmap to understand PCOS and take action.Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Get your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseStay ConnectedSubscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsFollow Dr. Taz on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Join the conversation on X: https://x.com/@drtazmdTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drtazmdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtazmd/Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+Chapters 00:00 The PCOS epidemic and misdiagnosis 00:27 Dr. Taz's PCOS story 03:06 Why old criteria fall short 05:09 PCOS as metabolic and autoimmune 08:20 Why PCOS rates are rising 09:14 Prenatal and medication influences 11:05 Childhood and teen clues 15:44 Symptom checklist you can spot 18:42 Eastern medicine patterns to notice 20:32 What to test for PCOS 23:56 How presentation varies by race 30:03 Building a holistic plan 33:37 Gut and liver first 35:16 Androgen, metabolic, and inflammation tools 37:30 Managing cortisol and stress 39:13 Long term roadmap and next steps
Learn how to restore your adrenal function and reclaim your energy with this comprehensive 90-day reset plan. Nurse Doza maps out a practical approach to reversing adrenal fatigue through measurable testing (DHEAS and HRV), lifestyle modifications including belly breathing and sunlight exposure, and targeted supplementation to support your body's stress response and energy production. Character count: 394 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Measure Your Adrenal Function: DHEAS blood testing (optimal range: 200-250) provides a stable measurement of adrenal function over time without daily variation, while Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracks your recent stress response and nervous system health in real-time. Activate Rest and Digest Mode: Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) actively shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode by increasing parasympathetic activity, lowering cortisol levels, and improving HRV with just 4-7 minutes daily. Morning Sunlight Resets Your System: Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking naturally boosts cortisol production, increases serotonin synthesis, provides vitamin D, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep—aim for 30-45 minutes of direct sunlight without sunglasses. Support with Targeted Nutrition: Bovine adrenal gland extracts provide building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, a practice used successfully since the early 1900s, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) help regulate cortisol production and support energy metabolism. Address Underlying Trauma: Unresolved trauma from childhood or adulthood chronically activates your stress response and suppresses adrenal function—addressing it through therapies like CBT, EMDR, or somatic experiencing is essential for long-term adrenal recovery and nervous system regulation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen – featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol production—key factors in restoring energy and recovering from burnout as discussed in this episode. The bovine adrenal gland provides the building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) support healthy stress response. Zen is the gentle, targeted support your adrenals need during this 90-day reset.
