Episode Summary:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a common hormonal problem and one of the leading causes of fertility issues among women. It’s such a common problem that I’ve received 50+ emails from all of you begging me to touch on this incredibly important topic, so get ready ladies, because today is the day.

Over 5 million American women are affected by PCOS, including today’s guest and my best friend, Amy Medling. Shockingly, 50%-75% of women who have PCOS are undiagnosed, and those who receive diagnoses often are not able to explore all of their natural health options because they just don’t know where to start. In this episode, Amy shares with us exactly how to thrive while living with PCOS!

After being diagnosed with PCOS, Amy felt that she was not given proper information or access to decisions about how to pilot her own health. Since then, she has focused on spreading the word on how to naturally heal your body and get it back on track when living with PCOS. Amy helps thousands of women take control of their lives and learn how to thrive again with her PCOS Diva Protocol website and Healing PCOS book.

Amy shares all the ways you can take back control of your body by switching to an abundance mindset and making sure you fill your own cup first. Moving your body, shifting your habits and most importantly, having an open mind can change the game when it comes to how you relate to your own body. By practicing in self-care rituals that Amy outlines in her ‘Diva Protocol’ we explore all the ways in which you can thrive while living with PCOS.

You don’t have to live with your symptoms, and you can and should be living your best life! Stop putting yourself last and shift your negative mindset into one that embraces, all while using the power of natural healing remedies to tackle your PCOS. Take back ownership of your body and learn how to live your life without PCOS holding you back. Because caring for yourself is not selfish, and it really can change your life.
