Untangling PCOS: My Story and the 4 Root Types Explained

Season 2, Ep 3

Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

In this solo episode of The Chronic Chronicles, I’m diving deep into something that impacts millions but is still so misunderstood: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

From getting brushed off by doctors to navigating overlapping symptoms with endometriosis, I’m sharing my personal journey with PCOS plus a breakdown of the 4 root types:
Insulin-Resistant PCOS, Inflammatory PCOS, Post-Pill PCOS, Androgen-Dominant (Adrenal-Based) PCOS.

We’ll talk symptoms, lab markers, root causes, and how I manage my PCOS today with a focus on blood sugar balance, inflammation, stress, and nervous system support.

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, just a human with lived experience, a science background, and a whole lot of research. Always speak with your provider before making any changes to your care plan.
