Suits & Scrubs: Not Your Mother's Doctor

Have you ever felt gaslighted by your doctor?
Are you struggling with infertility, irregular periods, or excessive hair growth? You might have PCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. This video dives deep into the pathophysiology of PCOS, including the hormonal imbalances and potential triggers.
We'll explore common symptoms like insulin resistance, weight gain, and abnormal circadian rhythm. You'll also learn how PCOS is diagnosed through the Rotterdam criteria, lab tests, and ultrasound.
But PCOS isn't a one-size-fits-all condition. We'll discuss the different treatment approaches from both conventional and functional medicine. We'll cover the debate around medications like birth control pills and metformin, and emphasize the importance of lifestyle changes.
This video will empower you with knowledge on:
The root causes of PCOS
How to manage symptoms through diet and exercise
Potential benefits of supplements
Conventional and functional treatment options
Doctor-patient communication for better healthcare outcomes
By the end of this video, you'll be equipped to take an active role in managing your PCOS.
