What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About PCOS

What if your doctor isn’t giving you the full picture on PCOS? In this episode, we dive deep into the often-missed signs, symptoms, and nutrition strategies that can completely shift your experience with PCOS, especially if you're postpartum or breastfeeding. You’ll hear from a fellow dietitian who’s walked this path herself and now helps women heal their hormones from the inside out.

What to Listen For:
The three criteria for diagnosing PCOS and why most women only get partial testing
What androgen dominance actually looks like (hint: it’s more than acne and chin hair)
Why your irregular or heavy periods might not be “just normal”
The surprising role your adrenal glands play in PCOS
Four types of PCOS and how to know which one you have
Why so many women only get diagnosed after trying to conceive
PCOS and breastfeeding: Can it impact your milk supply? (The real answer might surprise you!)
Simple food swaps and additions to support hormone balance (including garlic and cranberry juice!)
The biggest lab your doctor probably isn’t running: fasting insulin
Why you can manage PCOS without restrictive diets and what to do instead

You don’t have to stay stuck in the symptoms of PCOS. With the right support, labs, and nutrition strategy, healing is absolutely possible, even while breastfeeding. Whether you were recently diagnosed or have been navigating PCOS for years, this episode gives you the tools and confidence to advocate for yourself.
