Many people are told to lose weight to alleviate their PCOS symptoms. But what if you don't have any extra weight to lose? About 20–30% of people with PCOS are living with Lean PCOS, meaning their BMI does not qualify them as overweight or obese. They don't gain extra weight because of PCOS, so they have to address their issues and symptoms differently than the general PCOS population. Often following recommendations that are meant for the more common form of PCOS worsen symptoms for those with lean PCOS. Meet Martha McKittrick. Martha is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator with over 25 years of experience. She has been specializing in PCOS for over 15 years. She has been published in peer-reviewed journals and was the nutrition editor for the book A Patient's Guide to PCOS - Understanding and Reversing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. In this episode, I sit down with Martha to discuss Lean PCOS, how it's different from typical PCOS, and how people with Lean PCOS can find treatment for their symptoms. This Week We Talk About: How PCOS symptoms affect people with Lean PCOS differently than people in larger bodies What does the current lack of research mean for people with Lean PCOS? Other conditions that may be misdiagnosed as PCOS in lean people What do you do when you have no extra weight to lose? What are the most common root causes of Lean PCOS? What PCOS dietitians do when recent scientific studies change what we think about PCOS Mentioned in this episode The PCOS Root Cause Roadmap - For the first time EVER I am hosting The PCOS Root Cause Roadmap LIVE! Usually, this program is a solo mission, but starting February 1st I'll be there to guide you through this journey.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of female infertility. I'm joined by Dr. Felice Gersh, a leading OB-GYN treating patients with PCOS, to talk about the signs, symptoms, and long-term effects of the syndrome. Felice also shares some of the benefits of PCOS when you have it under control. You Need to Have Two of These Three Symptoms for a PCOS Diagnosis: Irregular menstrual cycle High levels of Androgens in a blood test An ultrasound showing tiny cysts in the ovaries About Dr. Felice Gersh Felice Gersh, M.D. is a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, a practice that provides comprehensive health care for women by combining the best evidence-based therapies from conventional, naturopathic, and holistic medicine. She taught obstetrics and gynecology at Keck USC School of Medicine for 12 years as an Assistant Clinical Professor, where she received the highly coveted Outstanding Volunteer Clinical Faculty Award. She now serves as an Affiliate Faculty Member at the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine, through the University of Arizona School of Medicine, where she lectures and regularly grades the case presentations written by the Fellowship students for their final exams. Felice Gersh, M.D. is the bestselling author of PCOS SOS and the PCOS SOS Fertility Fast Track, and she has published articles in peer-reviewed medical journals. She is a prolific lecturer and features in several films and documentary series, including The Real Skinny on Fat with Montel Williams and Fasting with Valter Longo, Ph.D. What Exactly is PCOS? Dr. Felice Gersh is a leading expert on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). She explains what PCOS is and how common it is among women, affecting between 6% - 12% of Americans. A woman must have two of three specific symptoms of PCOS in order to have a diagnosis. However, there are so many other symptoms related to the syndrome, including excess facial hair, weight gain, and acne outside of puberty. Felice says that one of the leading causes of the rise in PCOS is our reliance on plastics. Plastic, even BPA-free plastic, is toxic. It's an endocrine disrupter that impacts women of all ages. There is no safe amount of plastic at any point and the risks are higher during pregnancy. Society, Women, and PCOS Felice explains that PCOS existed in women throughout history. The excess testosterone had biological benefits, allowing for extra strength and stamina when needed. As society and culture changed, however, and the introduction of chemicals, this excess testosterone leads to health complications. Society's reliance on pollutants and toxins, from plastic bottles to chemical cleaning products, has a negative effect on women with PCOS. Felice shares why this is and how you can start reducing your exposure to these pollutants. PCOS increases your risk of a number of long-term health issues, such as diabetes, and Felice recommends seeking out treatment. She does not recommend the birth control pill for women with PCOS as it disrupts hormones more than they already are, simply masking a bigger problem. Do you have irregular periods? While it might feel nice not having to deal with a regular menstrual cycle, it is damaging for your health. Call the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic today and schedule your first appointment at 319-363-0033. Quotes “There's no safe plastic. That's important to know. If it's made out of plastic, it's got something in it that is an endocrine disrupter and is toxic to you. There's nothing out of plastic that you can put any label on that is going to make it safe.” [11:55] “We now know, unfortunately, that BPA in pregnancy concentrates in the fetus. The amount that's circulating in the maternal blood is significantly less than what's actually in the fetus. It gave people the wrong idea. There's really no safe level of poison. It's just safer. Less is better than more. Not to mention the interactions with all the other endocrine disrupters in the body.” [12:17] “Estrogen is the glue that glues metabolic functions of the body to reproductive functions so it all works together to create one whole, healthy female. So she can safely reproduce and stay healthy.” [16:46] “Women with PCOS, unlike women with menopause, do have estrogen, they just don't have enough. Whereas with menopause, ultimately their ovaries make no estrogen, women with PCOS just don't make enough. But we have poor women with PCOS because they're now producing all this testosterone. Now, why would they make all this testosterone? It's because it's part of the assembly line to make estradiol, the estrogen from the ovaries. If the brain is saying, ‘I don't have enough estrogen,' it puts out the signal, called luteinizing hormone, via the pituitary gland, which triggers the ovary to make the precursor to estradiol: testosterone. Now, you're making all this luteinizing hormone, it goes high, and now you're making all this testosterone, but you have this block so you can't go down the assembly line smoothly to turn it into estradiol. So the brain keeps saying ‘more estrogen' which makes more LH, which makes more testosterone. It's a comedy but without the fun part. You have this assembly line and you can't get from this step to this step properly.” [19:08] “There are innate benefits of being PCOS. If we can take our bodies back to their origins, back to their original healthy state, without all these chemicals or toxic food, we can recreate the health and vibrant life of a woman with PCOS without all the negative stuff.” [25:03] “It doesn't make sense to give birth control pills to women with PCOS. We have to have better ways to deal with both contraception and all the manifestations of PCOS.” [38:46] In This Episode What PCOS is and what the symptoms are [5:15] How common PCOS is among women [9:15] How much plastic to use [11:00] The connection between pregnancy and BPA plastic [13:00] What the problem with excess testosterone is [20:15] How our modern society, pollutants, and toxins negatively affect women with PCOS [24:00] What PCOS increases your risk of [27:00] The problem with birth control pills [35:00] Links & Resources Use Code BERBERINE for 10% Off Berberine Support Get Your Free Gift: Menopause SOS by Dr. Felice Gersh Buy PCOS SOS Fertility Fast Track: The 12-week plan to optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby by Dr. Felice Gersh Buy PCOS SOS: A Gynecologist's Lifeline To Naturally Restore Your Rhythms, Hormones, and Happiness by Dr. Felice Gersh Find Dr. Felice Gersh Online Follow Dr. Felice Gersh on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | LinkedIn Find Your Longevity Blueprint Online Follow Your Longevity Blueprint on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast Production by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes Episode 52: Functional Gynecology With Dr. Tabatha Barber Episode 51: Brilliant Menopause Secrets With Dr. Kyrin Dunston Episode 50: Pelvic Floor Health With Dr. Betsy Greenleaf

What’s a 4-letter word that you never want to hear your doctor say to you? Ok it’s actually not a word, but an acronym, and I’m referring to PCOS. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects millions of women. In fact, chances are good that you know someone affected by it, which probably explains why I’m often asked about it via email, Twitter, and Instagram. PCOS has various effects in the body, especially in regards to fertility, but one of the biggest concerns in the fitness space is how it affects weight loss. Specifically, many people believe PCOS is caused by being overweight, and that once you have PCOS, losing weight is nigh impossible. How true is this though? Are you really doomed if you get PCOS and can it truly prevent weight loss? Perhaps more importantly, how can you avoid getting it in the first place? To help shed some light on the truth, I invited Dr. Spencer Nadolsky back on the podcast. In case you’re not familiar with Dr. Nadolsky, he’s a Board Certified Family Medicine Physician, author of “The Fat Loss Prescription,” and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. He’s also part of Legion Athletics’ Scientific Advisory Board and truly knows his stuff when it comes to hormones, fat loss, and yes, memes (which you can find all over his instagram). In this interview, Dr. Nadolsky discusses … What PCOS is and its symptoms The causes of PCOS and how it might cause or be associated with differences in metabolism, appetite, and mental health The effects of PCOS on hormones and how that relates to fat gain and loss The “secret” to weight loss with PCOS and his dietary tips And more … So, if you want to learn about dealing with and overcoming PCOS, listen to this episode! 10:02 - What is PCOS? 16:56 - What is PCOS’s relation to weight loss? 37:18 - Would you recommend trying natural remedies before going to medicine? 39:11 - What are some dietary advice that you would give to people with PCOS? 42:15 - Any supplements you would recommend?

Part of my mission with the courageously.u podcast is to help you break free from beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck. For the longest time, I believed periods were supposed to be painful, and the only way to function through the pain was to take medications. I've recently learned that my belief couldn't be any farther from the truth. To help further educate not only you but myself on hormonal health, I invited Dr. Neal Barnard onto the show. Dr. Neal Barnard is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Barnard received his M.D. degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 90 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students. As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. His research contributed to the acceptance of plant-based diets in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2016, he founded the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, as a model for making nutrition a routine part of all medical care. Working with the Medical Society of the District of Columbia and the American Medical Association, Dr. Barnard has authored key resolutions, now part of AMA policy, calling for a new focus on prevention and nutrition in federal policies and in medical practice.

Today Dr. Minni Malhotra answers a question from Sue about why she is breaking out, starting with an explanation of the root cause of the problem. Due to the complications of elevated hormone levels, the sweat glands of women with PCOS can more easily become blocked, which causes acne and breakouts. That is why dermatological issues such as acne, in addition to hair loss and unwanted hair growth, are some of the most common side-effects of PCOS. But once insulin, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels are adequately regulated, these symptoms should begin to improve, and the most holistic way of achieving this is by a healthy lifestyle and following an insulin-lowering meal plan. If you want to learn more about PCOS and breakouts, be sure to tune in! Key Points From This Episode:PCOS is typically characterized by elevated levels of androgen and insulin. What PCOS patients can expect in terms of the side-effects of elevated hormone levels. How the clinical definition of PCOS has changed over the years.Dermatological features such as hair loss and acne can be early indicators of PCOS.Learn how sweat glands can have a different impact on different parts of the body. Keeping in mind that PCOS-related acne is different from acne vulgaris associated with adolescence. Why blockage often occurs in the sweat glands of women with PCOS. The hormones that need to be correctly balanced to adequately address the problem of endocrine imbalance. The role of a healthy lifestyle and insulin-lowering food plan in managing the symptoms of PCOS. Breakouts and acne can also be caused by food sensitivities and other problems in your gut. Tweetables:“These dermatological features provide early clinical clues. So, when you are younger, these are the clues that can provide recognition to PCOS and treatment of this cutaneous condition and may improve your quality of life.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:02:32]“Acne is one of the cutaneous or the skin conditions of PCOS but it is important to differentiate from acne vulgaris, which affects almost 80% of adolescents.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:03:27]“Another key to this is gut health. Gut health is really important, so when you are breaking out, it could also be due to certain food sensitivities.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:09:02]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Anchor Wellness CenterDr. Minni Malhotra Email

Lara Briden is here to share some of her wisdom and experience with helping her patients progress from accepting period discomfort as a normal life experience to helping them mostly—if not completely—eradicate all PMS symptoms.Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor with over 20 years of experience.

Clean Eating for Women with Carrie Forrest, MPH in Nutrition
Carol Lourie is a Naturopath, Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Medicine expert and Homeopath, with over 30 years of experience in providing integrative health care. Carol joins me today to talk about women’s health and polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS.In this episode of the Clean Eating for Women podcast, we talk about: What PCOS is and Carol’s full spectrum approach to treatment. How PCOS symptoms are different for everyone and it is difficult to get a diagnosis. Increased environmental toxins can increase PCOS symptoms. Some highlights of this episode on how to make veggies taste delicious: I am a survivor of PCOS. This is not a condition that is easily resolved or easily tolerated. It impacted my life for two decades, and I've only had it under control for three years. [01:11] Carol always wanted to be a medical doctor. In the 70s, She lived in New York in a spiritual community. She knew a chiropractor who did detox diets. Carol ended up working in his office and saw all the people that he has helped. Carol ran across a flyer for a College of Naturopathic Medicine, and she decided to go, and she graduated in the 80s. [01:48] The more Carol has practiced, the more she has noticed the connection between the mind and the body. She has also noticed that all chronic disease has a foundation of a history of trauma. There are multiple factors and multiple symptoms in PCOS. Everyone's symptoms are a little different. This can be confusing for medical doctors, and it makes getting a diagnosis difficult. [03:38] Carol has been treating PCOS for the last 25 years. She has seen symptoms become more severe and more hormonal disruption as toxins in our environment increase. [07:36] People with PCOS have elevated sugar levels and increased cholesterol and cysts on their ovaries. Carol includes an underlying inflammatory process and the emotional component that she feels is very important too. As well as a hormonal imbalance. [08:24] Metabolic syndrome or blood sugar disproportion is one of the spokes. Having extra sugar swimming around in your bloodstream has a direct impact on the formation of cysts in your ovaries. Targeted nutritional changes and supplements can make a big difference in blood sugar. Carol begins by getting a proper breakfast in place like a healing protein smoothie with milk thistle, probiotics, and vitamin C. [11:47] The basics of Carol's approach is to work nutritionally to lay the foundation for cells and decrease inflammation. Stabilize your blood sugar and support your liver and your triglycerides will go down. Your body likes to be healthy and will respond in a positive way if you give it what it needs. [17:23] The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis. The hypothalamus and pituitary are connected. There is a clear system of hormonal feedback loops. When one hormone is released it goes to the thyroid gland and then the thyroid gland releases thyroid hormone. When we are stressed, the body releases cortisol and this clogs up the messaging system. Everything we do relates to our health. [23:30] Environmental chemicals that get in our body can be estrogen disruptors. This can also lead to excessive estrogen and other hormonal imbalances. Start with the toxin free home. Laundry detergent has estrogen disruptors. The sheets you sleep on and the towel you dry your body with are coated with estrogen disruptors.
