On this episode of Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor and Mark Wright explore the intricate metabolic ties to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Dr. Cooper provides expert insight into how understanding these links can transform what seems like a permanent condition into a reversible one. “ I feel like there's so much despair around PCOS when it actually doesn't have to be a long-term condition,” says Dr. Cooper. “I know some of that desperation comes from the infertility piece of it… so it's really important to calm down the (metabolic) dysfunction to be successful in fertility.”Key Takeaways: PCOS is often misunderstood as solely an ovarian issue, but it is deeply rooted in neuroendocrine and metabolic imbalances. Diagnosing PCOS involves analyzing menstrual irregularities, androgen levels, and related physical symptoms like hirsutism and acne. Traditional treatments include metformin and spironolactone, but focusing on overall metabolic health can lead to reversal of PCOS symptoms. The importance of comprehensive metabolic health, including regular fueling, sleep quality, and potentially targeting specific metabolic pathways, is emphasized. Misguided advice to lose weight often exacerbates PCOS; instead, enhancing metabolic signals offers a sustainable solution.Resources: Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.

My journey with PCOS started when I was 17 years old. I was told by doctors I had cysts on my ovaries. They didn't think I had polycystic ovarian syndrome because I was not overweight and did not have excessive facial hair at the time. But I was on birth control at the time. (This suppresses PCOS) What helped me most was working with a naturopath, using holistic remedies to balance my hormones and help regulate my periods. Since I was 13, my cycles have been irregular. I have been with my husband for 6 years & haven't fallen pregnant. Every women's journey with PCOS is different; but there is a protocol we can follow to address & eliminate symptoms to find the root cause. Some women have been healed from PCOS & were able to successfully conceive, lose weight, regulate their cycles, put a stop to cravings, & restore energy levels. Putting PCOS symptoms into remission is possible. It just takes being BOLD to get started.   Connect with Ashley: IG: https://www.instagram.com/coachashleyroseklein Website: https://mailchi.mp/5262c4ff7845/be-bold-fitness-co Free Monthly Event for PCOS support, opportunity to connect with community of BOLD women.

Dr. Jen Gunter, called "the world's most famous and outspoken gynecologist” by The Guardian, returns to The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco to apply her myth-busting, no-nonsense approach to discussing menstruation. Why do people menstruate? The endometrium's (the uterine lining's) fascinating connection to the immune system. The impact of stress, vaccines, and health on the menstrual cycle. Menstrual migraines, PMS, and period diarrhea. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Fibroids and other causes of heavy bleeding. Endometriosis and the latest treatments. Legitimate menstrual products, and the facts behind toxic shock syndrome.  Despite its significance, most education about menstruation focuses either on increasing the chances of pregnancy or preventing it. And while both are important for many people, Gunter believes that people deserve to know more about their bodies than just what happens regarding reproduction. At a time when charlatans, politicians and social media are succeeding in propagating damaging misinformation with real and devastating consequences, Gunter presents a practical, empowering guide to what's typical, what's concerning and when to seek care—shared with her trademark expertise and frank, fearless wit.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal disorder that causes a range of symptoms like irregular periods, acne, hair loss, weight gain, and fertility problems. It affects one in seven women and in this episode, we will explore the signs and symptoms of PCOS and the various ways it can be diagnosed. I discuss the mainstream treatment options for PCOS, including lifestyle changes and common medications. I dive into functional labs and how they can give us more insight into managing PCOS symptoms effectively. You'll learn about strategies to start healing your PCOS, the importance of balancing your blood sugar, how to choose the right carbs, my thoughts on caffeine, repleting your minerals, supplements to consider, strength training, sleep hygiene, and so much more. By the end of this episode, you'll be armed with a wealth of knowledge that will empower you to take charge of your PCOS diagnosis instead of letting it take charge of you.
