Summary

#292: What if everything you've been told about weight loss with PCOS is wrong? Taylor believed harder workouts would finally help her lose weight after years of struggling with PCOS, irregular periods, and fibromyalgia. Instead, the high-intensity training was keeping her stuck. In this episode, she shares how discovering the cortisol-PCOS connection changed everything, and why switching to weighted, low-stress training helped her lose 50 pounds in under two years.
