Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was first described in 1935 by Irving Freiler Stein and Michael Leo Leventhal at the Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Since that time, it has gone through several name changes: Stein-Leventhal syndrome, PCOD, and currently PCOS. Nonetheless, proponents and scientists are still recommending yet another name change for this syndrome, one that better incorporates the multi-metabolic dysregulation that it incorporates. PCOS is not simply a gynecological issue. It is a metabolic issue with implications for adverse obstetrical outcomes. In this episode we will review 2 recent publications, one from July 2024 and the other from August 27th, 2024. These two studies, in two separate journals, each a month apart, validate what others have previously reported: PCOS doesn't just affect gynecological health but it also impacts obstetrical health. Listen in for details.

She's also the director of the HEAL Lab, which is the health experience and longevity lab.Reference:Health Experiences and Longevity Lab The Health Experiences and Longevity (HEAL) Lab is directed by Dr. Kendall Soucie in the Department of Psychology at the University of Windsor.Her research interests lie at the intersection of Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology. She is interested in understanding the psychosocial and institutional determinants of chronic health conditions (e.g., diagnosis experiences, misdiagnoses/errors, illness disclosures, social support, and illness stigma) within women's health. Her focus is on PCOS, the most common, yet misdiagnosed endocrine syndrome in individuals assigned female at birth, but she is also interested in IBD, HS, POTS, and endometriosis, and their impact on quality of life. Dr. Soucie also explores how chronic health conditions impact a person's identity/life story, body image, and relationships with others, across the lifespan. She focuses on aspects of strength, resilience, and healing, and building community in her work, with her most recent set of studies exploring "thriving with PCOS across the lifespan". Her second area of interest lies in understanding how youth contribute to their communities during the transition to adulthood--with foci on youth generativity, prosocial engagement, and environmental justice. Dr. Soucie integrates quantitative (SEM, HLM) and qualitative (life narrative/autobiography, interviews, arts-based methods) approaches to better understand these domains of study.Monash University PCOS Guideline - This International evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is designed to provide clear information to assist shared decision-making and support optimal patient care and better health outcomes for the one in eight women affected by this condition.It is the culmination of the engagement of over 3,000 health professionals and the work of 100+ multidisciplinary clinical and lived experience experts from six continents and 71 countries internationally.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, also called PCOS, is related to hormonal imbalances in women's bodies. It's the leading cause of fertility problems in women and affects one in ten women of childbearing age in the UK, according to the NHS. Despite that, there is very little awareness about the condition. The most important thing there is to know about PCOS is that it leads to excessive production of androgen hormones, especially testosterone. High testosterone levels in women disrupt the ovarian cycle and, in particular, the development of fluid-filled sacs called follicles in the ovaries. How does it affect the body, apart from causing cysts? Is the disease still understudied? Do we know why some women produce too many androgens? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, affects an estimated 8-13% of reproductive-aged women, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, excess androgen levels, and cysts in the ovaries. It's also one of the leading causes of female infertility. Still, up to 70% of affected women remain undiagnosed worldwide. This needs to change. In this episode of From First Period To Last Period, Rescripted Co-Founder Kristyn Hodgdon sits down with Dr. Shannon Alexa of Main Line Fertility in Pennsylvania to discuss the signs & symptoms of PCOS and how to advocate for yourself with the condition — because 96-day menstrual cycles are not normal. Brought to you by Rescripted and Inception Fertility.
Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is a is a hormonal disorder that can lead to numerous symptoms including irregular periods, weight gain, and excess body hair. PCOS, is one of the main causes of infertility affecting as many as 5 million people in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Learn about this condition and how it's managed from Enloe Health's OBGYN, Celeste Bailey Pace, MD, on this episode of Health Matters.
Today, I'm going to share 22 signs of a magnesium deficiency. Sixty percent of magnesium is in the bone, 20% is in the muscle, 19% is in the soft tissue, and 1% is in the blood. Magnesium deficiency is the most overlooked deficiency because it cannot be detected by a blood test. The top causes of magnesium deficiency include: • Consumption of sugar and refined carbs • Alcohol consumption • Cirrhosis of the liver • NPK fertilizer leads to crops that are low in magnesium • Malabsorption from gut inflammation • Diuretics • PPIs • Gastric bypass surgery • Low vitamin D • Inflammation Diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease are all associated with low magnesium. The best sources of magnesium are leafy greens, almonds, and dark chocolate, but some of these foods contain oxalates. Oxalates block the absorption of magnesium. Meat, cheese, and shellfish contain magnesium and do not contain oxalates. Here are 22 surprising signs of magnesium deficiency: • Anxiety • Insomnia • Depression • Migraines • Restless leg syndrome • Muscle cramps • Fatigue • Tourette's syndrome • Oxidative cholesterol • High homocysteine levels • High blood pressure • Calcification of the arteries • Arrhythmias • Stroke • Metabolic syndrome • Polycystic ovarian syndrome • Kidney stones • Higher levels of calcium in the blood • Inflammation • Nystagmus • Asthma Neuromuscular excitability, or tetany, is the number 1 earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency. Tetany is a twitching of the muscles, often affecting the left eye. Magnesium is required for proper nerve function. When you're deficient, the nerves become more excited, leading to faster nerve impulses.
Historically PCOS symptoms like infertility, facial hair, and weight issues were intertwined with small cystic structures on the ovaries. In this episode, you will understand the origin of the term "polycystic ovaries" and what impact they have on fertility and symptoms. Let's explore how hormonal imbalances shape the narrative, leading to the association between these cystic structures and PCOS symptoms.Cysts and PCOSContrary to common belief, the cystic-like lesions of PCOS are not true cysts but rather clusters of follicles that fail to fully mature. We explore the delicate hormonal dance of FSH (follicular stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) ratios, shedding light on the science behind the polycystic ovarian appearance. Learn to distinguish between polycystic ovaries and isolated single cysts that might cause discomfort, understanding that the latter is unrelated to PCOS.Diagnosing PCOS: A Deeper Look:The diagnostic criteria for PCOS require two out of three factors: elevated androgens, polycystic ovaries, and irregular periods. Let's talk about the significance of symptoms, and what if lab values fall within the normal range. The presence of root cause symptoms is a pivotal step for understanding your path to PCOS health. Gain insights into how doctors can assist you during the diagnostic process while realizing the limitations of conventional medical approaches in addressing the broader lifestyle and root causes of PCOS.By taking a proactive stance in your PCOS journey and embracing lifestyle adjustments, nutritional choices, and mindset habits that extend beyond conventional medical practices you can finally feel your body working with you instead of against you. By hitting play and tuning into this episode you will gain a better understanding of a holistic approach, the significance of ultrasound examinations, and so much more.

Alright, so what actually is PCOS? Let's break it down in today's episode. Polycystic ovary syndrome often results in anovulatory cycles which can mean long/irregular cycles and heavy menstrual bleeding. It's also often associated with hyperandrogenism. Sounds scary (and it could be) but that's the seven-syllable way to say that you may have acne, excess body hair where you don't want it (hi, chin), and a tough time losing weight. Last but not least--you guessed it--your ovaries may have multiple (poly) cysts on them.Do you have irregular/long cycles or missing periods?

Infertility is defined as 12 months of trying regularly without conception occurring. Although it's not common, it happens to many couples, and it can be completely devastating when it does.

Over my career, I've sat with hundreds of women and couples who have experienced this. In today's episode, I'm talking about what you can do to optimize your fertility and support your reproductive health. We're talking about the various causes of infertility, the importance of considering both male and female factors, common fertility myths, the role of endocrine disorders, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, products, and supplements for fertility support, and more.

Today I'm going to share some important information related to chronic kidney disease. 10% of cases of end-stage renal disease are related to polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease has mainly been thought of as a genetic problem, and until fairly recently, many people thought you couldn't do much about genetic diseases. But it turns out that you can. Some of the top warning signs of polycystic kidney disease are increased risk of infection, urinary bleeding, reduced function of the kidneys, and high blood pressure. A recent study done on mice found that the ketogenic diet halted and reversed polycystic kidney disease in the mice. They also found that time-restricted eating created a similar effect. Another study found that the keto diet may reduce the risk of kidney stones as long as the person is also on a low-oxalate diet. Along with keto and consuming low-oxalate foods, consuming enough water may help reduce the risk of kidney stones. In the study on polycystic kidney disease, they found that the cysts absorb glucose and are dependent on glucose. Glucose can contribute to other kidney issues as well. A low-carb diet and fasting are both great ways to get your body to start making ketones. You can also take ketones. The best natural remedies for kidney problems: • Curcumin • Resveratrol • EGCG (in green tea) • Quercetin • Berberine What I would do for chronic kidney disease: 1. Take the above natural remedies 2. Go on a low-oxalate keto diet 3. Do intermittent fasting

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that can make it difficult for women to get pregnant. Contrary to its name, having PCOS doesn't mean your ovaries have cysts, but rather that your ovaries have a high number of follicles containing eggs that are often unable to mature. Symptoms of the condition include irregular or absent periods, high testosterone, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and acne. PCOS definitely has it's challenges, but, having it does not mean you'll never have children or that your eggs cannot produce a healthy, beautiful baby. Plus, if you have it, you're totally not alone. About 7% of women have PCOS.

Today I'm going to share some important information related to chronic kidney disease. 10% of cases of end-stage renal disease are related to polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease has mainly been thought of as a genetic problem, and until fairly recently, many people thought you couldn't do much about genetic diseases. But it turns out that you can. Some of the top warning signs of polycystic kidney disease are increased risk of infection, urinary bleeding, reduced function of the kidneys, and high blood pressure. A recent study done on mice found that the ketogenic diet halted and reversed polycystic kidney disease in the mice. They also found that time-restricted eating created a similar effect. Another study found that the keto diet may reduce the risk of kidney stones as long as the person is also on a low-oxalate diet. Along with keto and consuming low-oxalate foods, consuming enough water may help reduce the risk of kidney stones. In the study on polycystic kidney disease, they found that the cysts absorb glucose and are dependent on glucose. Glucose can contribute to other kidney issues as well. A low-carb diet and fasting are both great ways to get your body to start making ketones. You can also take ketones.

Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle discuss some common abnormalities that you can observe in the most populare cat breeds. From polycystic kidne disease to ear and tail abnormalities. The main disadvantage of inbreeding is that these diseases tend to pop up.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting reproductive-aged women, with a prevalence between 10 to 13%. PCOS has a large component of Insulin Resistance at its core. This is not only a metabolic complication in gynecology, but also has adverse implications for pregnancy. Since metformin is a staple of PCOS care, not only for infertility but also for the metabolic syndrome in adults, a common question is what to do with that medication once conception occurs. Should metformin continue past conception, and if so...should it be stopped at a certain gestational age or continued until delivery. There is data to help with this clinical conundrum. In this episode we will review the data from 2001 up to the most recent ASRM PCOS management guideline for PCOS, which just came out-ahead of print- last month August 2023.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that can benefit greatly from diet and lifestyle therapies. In this episode Cody leads us in a discussion about the best diet for PCOS, which should be part of a your treatment approach to this complex condition.Often, once diagnosed with PCOS the initial treatment options include hormonal birth control, Metformin, and perhaps Spironolactone. While all of these can be beneficial for some women, they aren't often enough in the management of PCOS symptoms. Tune into today's episode to learn how powerful nutrition and lifestyle strategies can be some of the most effective "medicine" for you.Did you learn something new today?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder and one of the most frequent causes of infertility in women. It affects 5–20% of women of childbearing age. The pathogenesis of PCOS is still not fully understood; however, insulin resistance (IR) is known to have a central role in its pathogenesis. According to a cross-sectional study, IR is present in 75% of lean and 95% of overweight women with PCOS. This IR seems to have something else behind it: an imbalance in the ratio of 2 vital inositols! In the treatment of PCOS, metformin is the gold standard metabolic treatment. However, metformin may induce mild to severe gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. So, an evidence-based and data driven alternative is highly welcome…especially one that could be seen as “natural”. Can inositol, specifically myo—inositol, “reverse” some PCOS metabolic derangements? Can it help normalize cycles? The data may surprise you.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects an estimated 8–13% of reproductive-aged women and up to 70% of affected women remain undiagnosed worldwide. In this episode, Dr. Gouri Pimputkar, a board-certified OB-GYN and lifestyle medicine physician, shares her personal experience with PCOS and explains how she incorporates lifestyle changes into treating hormonal conditions like PCOS. She discusses the symptoms of PCOS, including irregular periods, increased androgen symptoms (acne, hair growth/loss), and struggles with weight. Dr. Pimputkar highlights the role of chronic inflammation in PCOS development and suggests anti-inflammatory nutrition as a key strategy for managing PCOS symptoms. She emphasizes individualized approaches to nutrition that focus on whole foods and increasing fiber intake while reducing processed sugar, flour, and fast food consumption. Join us and discover the symptoms, the impact of inflammation, and anti-inflammatory nutrition for effective PCOS management.

Women's health struggles are consistently dismissed. And while we dedicate all of our energy to every role we play and to those outside of ourselves, or in service of our big, audacious goals - our health is often moved to the bottom of the list.

Today's episode with Megan Kroeker is from our 2023 summit. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis are two of many hormone related conditions that women often experience. Though these two conditions are very different, they are both often misdiagnosed, or achieving diagnosis may take many years. During this episode with Megan, you will learn the basics of PCOS and endometriosis, including signs/symptoms, and underlying reasons or causes for these conditions. General strategies for management will also be discussed – including diet, lifestyle and supplements.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Erin Michos is an internationally-known leader in preventive cardiology and women's cardiovascular health. In this episode, Erin discusses current trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD) through the lens of female biology and the observation that major adverse cardiac events in both sexes are on the rise. She walks through risk factors including LDL-cholesterol, apoB, and Lp(a) and makes the case for the importance of early preventative measures. She explains various interventions for reducing risk including a discussion of statins, GLP-1 agonists, PCSK9-inhibitors, and drugs that lower Lp(a). She goes in-depth on female-specific factors that contribute to CVD risk such as pregnancy, grand multiparity (having five or more children), oral contraceptives, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, she explains her approach with patients as it relates to the use of hormone replacement therapy and provides advice for people wanting to lower risk both through lifestyle changes and medications. We discuss: Erin's background in preventive cardiology and women's health [2:30]; Recent trends in cardiovascular disease in women, mortality data, and how it compares to cancer [5:15]; Why early preventative measures are critical for cardiovascular disease risk [13:15]; ApoB as a causal agent of CVD, and why high apoB levels are not being aggressively treated in most cases [19:45]; The rising trend of metabolic syndrome and other factors contributing to the regression in progress of reducing cardiac events [27:00]; GLP-1 agonists—Promising drugs for treating diabetes and obesity [33:30]; Female-specific risk factors for ASCVD (pre- and post-menopause) [37:15]; Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): prevalence, etiology, and impact on metabolic health, lipids and fertility [47:00]; The effect of grand multiparity (having 5+ children) on cardiovascular disease risk for women [52:30]; The impact of oral contraceptives on cardiovascular disease risk [55:00]; The effect of pregnancy on lipids and other metabolic parameters [58:45]; The undertreatment of women with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and how it increases lifetime risk of ASCVD [1:02:00]; How concerns around statins have contributed to undertreatment, and whether women should stop statins during pregnancy [1:09:45]; How Erin approaches the prescription of statins to patients [1:16:00]; PCSK9 inhibitors and other non-statin drugs [1:21:15]; Advice for the low- and high-risk individual [1:28:30]; The impact of nutrition, stress, and lifestyle on lipids and CVD risk [1:31:00]; Lp(a) as a risk enhancer for cardiovascular disease [1:41:15]; The effect of menopause on cardiovascular disease risk [1:50:30]; How Erin approaches decisions regarding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for her patients [1:55:30]; The urgent need for more data on women's health [2:03:30]; Erin's goal of running a marathon in every state [2:09:45]; and More.
