EF#37: The PCOS, Endometriosis and Fertility Link (PCOS Part 1)

Fertility, Insulin Resistance & Co-existing Conditions

PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal-metabolic condition in women of reproductive age that causes fertility issues. As September is PCOS Awareness Month and this condition affects 100 million women worldwide, I wanted to draw your attention to this condition as it can co-exist with Endometriosis.

In this episode I talk about:

• What PCOS is
• How PCOS affects fertility
• Why and how PCOS happens
• How insulin resistance occurs
• The role of insulin
• PCOS symptoms
• How to get a diagnosis
• The PCOS & Endometriosis Link
• Myths about PCOS
• How to reduce PCOS symptoms
