HHP Expert - Amy Medling, Healing PCOS

Humarian Health

On this week’s show, Amy and Dr. B. are joined by Amy Medling to talk about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and her book, Healing PCOS: A 21-Day Plan for Reclaiming Your Health and Life with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Amy talks about her personal struggles as a woman growing up with undiagnosed PCOS and why 50-70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed. She talks about how her PCOS symptoms led to gaslighting from doctors. There is no magic pill to cure PCOS, so Amy explains why changing your mindset about your body is the first and most important step in fighting back. The gang then discusses the importance of diet and exercise in relation to mood, self-confidence, and PCOS symptoms. Amy also explains why intensity is not necessarily the most important consideration in exercise for helping with weight loss and other PCOS issues and why it’s important to heal in ways that make you feel good along the way.
