18 | Belly Fat, Insulin Resistance, and Hormonal Weight Gain: Do You Have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

Are You There, Midlife? It’s Me, Monica. | Balance Hormones Naturally in Perimenopause, Menopause for Women Over 40

Hey friend,

Today, I’m continuing my “6 Weeks To Summer” podcast series where I unpack the 7 most common hormonal imbalances in perimenopause and menopause and how they contribute to weight loss resistance.

If you’ve never heard of PCOS or thought it was only something that affects women in their 20s or 30s, think again! It is this and other myths about PCOS that have earned it the nickname, “the silent disorder.”

PCOS affects an estimated 1 in 10 of every woman of reproductive age in the U.S., but the numbers are, in actuality, much, much higher, as 70% of all cases go undiagnosed! (More about that on today’s podcast.:)

In today’s episode, you will learn:

• What exactly is polycystic ovary syndrome?

• What causes polycystic ovary syndrome?

• What are PCOS symptoms?

• What causes polycystic weight gain?

• What is the connection between PCOS and insulin resistance?

• Why are so many women not getting a proper PCOS diagnosis?

• What is traditional medicine's PCOS treatment vs holistic treatment?

• Can polycystic ovary syndrome be cured?

Plus, I share 3 of my favorite tips to balance your hormones just in time for summer!

If you’re experiencing symptoms like abnormally heavy, short, or long periods without birth control along with oily skin or acne, hair loss, and unexplained weight gain–especially in your stomach (hello, PCOS belly), then this episode is for you!
