Ever wonder if your doctors are missing something crucial about your health? After four years of dead ends, confusion, and feeling dismissed, I finally discovered the truth behind my persistent symptoms—a PCOS diagnosis that changed everything. In this episode, I share the raw details of my hormone journey, including the missed red flags, overlooked symptoms, and the exact questions and testing that finally led me to answers.
You’ll get the inside scoop on why PCOS so often goes undiagnosed, the common (and surprising) symptoms to watch for, and practical, science-backed steps to advocate for your own wellbeing, even if doctors brush you off.
You’ll walk away from this episode armed with science-backed strategies, smarter questions, and a new sense of agency over your health. Don’t wait years for someone else to connect the dots—find out what I wish every woman knew before their first doctor’s visit. Hit play and let’s dive in.
If you have a question on your mind or a trend you want me to break down for you, I'd love for you to send it my way! I might feature it on the podcast and share my personal advice just for you. Ask me here.
