Summary
Are You Menstrual?
Today we’re covering a women’s health topic that is near and dear to my heart...and that is PCOS (or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). PCOS is the leading cause of infertility in the U.S., and it’s a problem that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. That’s A LOT of us. But the worst part is that there is still so much confusion surrounding this modern syndrome and what causes it—even down to its name, which IMO is a complete misnomer (but we’ll get into that later).
Amanda and I have both dealt with the symptoms of PCOS at different points in our lives, and we both know many women who currently struggle with it—which is why we wanted to devote a whole two episodes to this particular hormonal health challenge. The truth is, there’s a ton to unpack when it comes to this common condition, but we’re going to do our best to clear the fog surrounding PCOS.

| 0:06.3 | And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones |
| 0:11.2 | and teach you how to have healthy periods. Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's |
| 0:16.6 | health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health. |
| 0:21.6 | Our goal is to help you wade through conflicting health information and empower you on your |
| 0:25.5 | healing journey. We hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:42.9 | Today we are going to be covering a women's health topic that is actually very near and dear to my heart, |
| 0:49.5 | and it's what got me involved in the wellness space to begin with, and that's PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome. So you might or may not know that PCOS is actually the leading cause of infertility |
| 0:56.5 | in the United States, and it's a problem that affects one in 10 women of childbearing age. |
| 1:02.0 | So that's a lot of women. And the worst thing about this is that there's still so much |
| 1:07.8 | confusion surrounding this modern syndrome and what actually causes it. Even down to |
| 1:13.0 | its name, which we'll talk about it, is a complete misnomer, making it even more confusing. |
| 1:19.1 | But we'll get into that in the episode. Amanda and I have both dealt with the symptoms of PCOS at |
| 1:24.8 | different points in our lives. Again, something we're going to talk about. |

| 1:38.4 | There is a ton to unpack here. There's so much that goes into PCOS, like what drives it, the symptoms of it, |
| 1:45.4 | what can be done about it. And we're going to try to do our best to clear the fog surrounding |
| 1:50.0 | this condition and just make it a lot less confusing than maybe it is to you. So we hope this |
| 1:56.1 | episode is helpful for any of you who may have the symptoms of PCOS or may have been diagnosed recently |
| 2:02.2 | or think you should be diagnosed, whatever it is that you're going through related to this |
