Welcome back to everybody happy joints. My name is Shannon. Today we've got

Payton on the podcast and we are going to talk about PCOS and exercise. And if you

listen to episode number 151 with Payton,

towards the end of that episode,

she kind of shared her story.

And we didn't complete the story.

She has personal experience with this that I'm going to let her talk about in just a moment.

And then she also really dug into the research behind PCOS and exercise because it just feels

like this big black box and hopefully this

episode will help people number one not not diagnose someone of course ever

that's beyond our scope.

But maybe get some awareness around this

and then help people who do have PCOS,

give them recommendations for exercising

to help manage their symptoms.

So, Payton, do you want to start by telling us kind of your journey behind this? What brought you here?

Yes, so after the, where we left off in 151, I reached out to a fertility specialist that I had reached out to

previously or gotten connected with previously and got set up because it just

felt like it was time to get a little bit more insight into what might be going on.

I honestly probably should have done it sooner, but so often the recommendation is for a quote-quote healthy normal young person

to wait a year before a year of trying

before reaching out to a fertility specialist.
