In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we uncover the powerful connection between insulin resistance and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)—a link that affects up to 80% of women with the condition, even those who appear healthy on the outside.

We explain how elevated insulin levels fuel androgen production, disrupt hormones, and contribute to common PCOS symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, cravings, and irregular cycles. You'll also learn how PCOS is diagnosed, what tests are involved, and the most effective approaches to managing both insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance—from low-glycemic nutrition and exercise, to metformin, inositol, and holistic strategies like stress reduction and gut health support.

🎧 Tune in to learn how understanding and addressing insulin resistance can transform the way we manage PCOS and improve long-term health outcomes.
