PCOS Isn't Just Cysts, Babe

🎙 Episode 17 – PCOS Isn’t Just Cysts, Babe 💁‍♀️

PCOS is way more than just cysts on your ovaries - and in this episode, we’re breaking down all the myths, facts, and real-life experiences that come with it.

We’re talking:
✨ What PCOS actually is (spoiler: you can have it without cysts!)
🌀 Why your menstrual cycle matters & what “normal” really means
🥗 The role of insulin resistance and why diet + movement are huge
💊 Treatments that actually help - from metformin to myo-inositol to birth control
🧬 How PCOS affects fertility (and why it’s still possible to conceive!)
💡 Practical tips whether you’re TTC or just want your body in balance

Plus, Brandis gets personal about her own PCOS journey - the symptoms that get ignored, the advice we wish we’d gotten sooner, and the tools that make life so much easier now.

If you’ve ever been told “just lose weight” or “it’s just a cyst,” this one’s for you, babe. 💖
