The PCOS Podcast Solaine Douglas

Getting diagnosed with PCOS is confusing. It typically comes with very little information about what the condition actually is, or how to manage it long-term.
In this podcast, we will cover the keys to understanding WHAT PCOS is, the best approach to improving your PCOS and how to reduce your PCOS symptoms through non-medication based approaches.
If you have PCOS, then you can likely resonate with these incredibly frustrating realities:
* No matter what you do, you just cannot shift your weight and it feels like your friends can just eat WHATEVER they want!
* Despite taking all the supplements you are still not getting any improvements in your PCOS symptoms.
* Your hair is falling out at an alarming rate, meanwhile your facial hair-growth can’t be lasered off fast enough.
* Despite paying top dollar to see specialists you still feel no closer to an answer and you are fed up with the same ‘pat on the back and script for Metformin or the Oral Contraceptive Pill’.
If you’ve been recently diagnosed with PCOS or you’ve had PCOS for a long time and you are wondering what the heck do I do next and what do I need to do to reduce my symptoms this podcast exists to show you EXACTLY THAT!
