Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner.

And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones

and teach you how to have healthy periods. Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's

health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health.

Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your

healing journey.

We hope you enjoy it.

Okay, we are back with part two of our PCOS series, and we're going to get into a lot of things this episode, so get ready.

But if you haven't listened to our previous episode, that's episode 11, make sure that you do, because in that one, we break down exactly what PCOS is and how it's

diagnosed as well as the different root causes. So that's a very important precursor to this

episode. And in this episode, we're going to be talking about a lot of the different mistakes

that we see women make with PCOS that is not really their fault.

It's more so the general, modern, Western medicine advice that is kind of given to them about

what they should do when they have PCOS, that we're going to kind of go through and break down

the issues with this.

And we're also going to give you our recommendations

for how to heal yourself and what to do instead. So we really hope you enjoy this episode.

It's going to be packed with good information. Yeah, we're basically just taking all the

terrible advice that you get from your doctor or that most of us have gotten from our doctors when given that

PCOS diagnosis and breaking down why maybe that's not the best option.

And I think we're going to start with what I think is probably one of the most important ones

and the ones that you typically hear first.
