Hope After Miscarriage: Melissa’s Story

Welcome to Episode 4 of Season 7 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast:
Hope After Miscarriage: Melissa’s Story
Did you know miscarriage is almost twice as likely in women with PCOS? During this episode a special guest shares her experience with PCOS, an unfortunate miscarriage and how she developed a passion for helping others with PCOS.
This week on The PCOS Revolution Podcast, I am having a conversation with Melissa Christie. She is an Australian mom and singing teacher and the founder of PCOS Pathways. She also wrote the book the PCOS Journal. She has dedicated her time to understanding the condition and her experience of it. Despite the healing journey Melissa has on, Melissa miscarried her first child.
With the rates of miscarriage almost double in women with PCOS, Melissa set about healing her PCOS once and for all. What she found was a lack of resources and support. She decided she wanted to contribute to changing that. Melissa then began creating the PCOS Journal. Melissa found herself taking so many supplements, focusing on diet and moving her body. She didn’t know what was working and what wasn’t. She didn’t know what was impacting which symptoms. She craved clarity and she didn’t feel on top of everything. This motivated her to provide a resource that helped with that. Learn more about Melissa, her journey, her insight and knowledge during this episode of the PCOS Revolution podcast.
