About this episode

#228: Why is it so challenging for women with PCOS to get the healthcare they need? PCOS is just so complex for us to be pushed out of the doctor’s office after only being given a band-aid solution and having so many questions left unanswered.

For this episode, we will be talking about the current state of women’s health and what this means for us with PCOS. We will also give you our tips on how to find the right doctor for you and what you can ask them to get all the labs and resources you need!

This episode is for you if:

- You are still looking for the right doctor to help guide you through your PCOS

- You are frustrated with how short your doctor’s appointments are

- Your last doctor just gave you medication for PCOS but you’re looking for more support
