How old were you when you were diagnosed with PCOS

How old were you when you were diagnosed with PCOS? 👇🏼 Share below!

I have been getting a lot of DMs lately from people asking for clarification about whether they have PCOS, so I thought this would be a good refresher.

The Rotterdam criteria is used to diagnose PCOS. You must meet at least 2 of the 3:

1️⃣ Irregular or missing cycles
2️⃣ Elevated androgens
3️⃣ Polycystic ovaries on an ultrasound

A few important things about this:

➡️ Testing androgens can be difficult sometimes, which is why symptoms alone (primarily hirsutism and hair loss) can be used to diagnosed PCOS.

➡️ The types of cysts that burst are not part of the diagnostic criteria (or part of PCOS).

➡️ If there are NO indications of elevated androgens from signs or symptoms or labs, then it's recommended to fully rule out other conditions that can cause missing cycles, especially hypothalamic amenorrhea.

I hope that helps. 🥰

Have you ever been told this by your doctor👩🏻‍⚕️? Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

You have literally done every single diet under the sun ☀️.

You’ve been micromanaging every thing that goes into your mouth 👄, counting points and keeping track…

But no matter what you do it just doesn’t seem to help with your PCOS symptoms. 😞

Then when you hear a statement like this from your doctor it can be invalidating 😔 to say the least.

It can make you feel as if there is something wrong with you and your willpower. 👉🏼That YOU are the problem.👈🏼

But you are NOT the problem. ❤️

✅ You haven’t been shown what your unique body needs in order to feel it’s best. You haven’t been taught strategies that WILL make you feel better.

‼️ Enrollment is now open for course, Improve Insulin Resistance.This course is your complete guide to managing insulin resistance, and improving your health and hormones with PCOS.

➡️ Improve Insulin Resistance is perfect for you if you feel confused about carbs and sugar, and you're ready to ENJOY food while still honoring your hormones and health.

Doors close on Thursday at 5pm EST. Enroll using the link in bio. 🎉

Have you ever been told that you can't improve insulin resistance unless you're cutting out carbs? 🧁 This post is for you!

A previous course member shared that her biggest win over the first 7 weeks of being in the course was seeing her blood sugar lower than it had been in years. 🎉

I wanted to share this win specifically because I know it can feel scary to include your favorite foods (and carbs) when you've just been repeatedly told that you need to cut them out. Especially if you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

➡️ My whole course is designed to teach you how foods affect insulin levels and hormones. You ✨can✨ feel less stressed and more confident in choosing foods that you like without feeling like you've sabotaged your PCOS in the process.

Whether you have underlying insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes, you deserve to be able to enjoy food without stress and anxiety.

✨There are only 2️⃣ days left to enroll in Improve Insulin Resistance. Doors will close at 5pm EST on Thursday, 6/23.

Improve Insulin Resistance is perfect for you if you feel confused about carbs and sugar, and you're ready to ENJOY food while still honoring your hormones and health.

What do you wish you had been told about insulin resistance? 👇🏼 Share below!

High insulin levels cause the body to produce extra androgens, which can lead to a lot of the pesky PCOS symptoms:

➡️ low energy
➡️ irregular periods
➡️ acne, hirsutism, and hair loss
➡️ carb cravings

Insulin resistance is also inflammatory. Over time, insulin resistance can progress into elevated blood sugar. This is why PCOS increases the risk of developing diabetes.

You deserve more than "Just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant". This is why I created an entire course about how to improve insulin resistance.

Enrollment is now 🧁 for the Improve Insulin Resistance course.

This course is your complete guide to managing insulin resistance, having better energy, and improving your health and hormones with PCOS.

➡️ Improve Insulin Resistance is perfect for you if you feel confused about carbs and sugar, and you're ready to ENJOY food while still honoring your hormones and health.
