While it’s not always the easiest or most comfortable subject to discuss,  it's essential to separate facts from myths for better understanding.


 
Let's talk about PCOS!
 
 
FACTS: 
 
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects many aspects of health, from fertility to metabolism. It's real, and many women fact its many challenges.
Insulin resistance is a common feature of PCOS. Proper diet and exercise can help manage this aspect, promoting overall well-being.
PCOS symptoms can vary greatly depending on the individual. It's not a one-size-fits-all condition; which makes diagnosis and treatment unique to each person.
 
MYTHS: 
 
You can't have PCOS if you're thin. 
PCOS only affects fertility. The truth is that it can also lead to other health issues; like irregular periods, acne, and an increased risk of diabetes. 
 
 
FACT: A tailored approach is crucial for success living with PCOS, and for taking strides toward healing.
