Welcome to the Wellness All Seasons with Mina podcast! I am your host, Mina Qandar. In this episode, we will discuss the often-underdiagnosed conditions of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with my guest Kerry Jenkins, a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. Together, we delve into the complexities of PCOS, its symptoms, and why it is the leading cause of infertility in women.

Importantly, we discuss how PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women, underscoring the necessity for early diagnosis and effective treatment. Kerry provides insights into the underlying metabolic and hormonal imbalances that characterize PCOS, noting the role of diet, lifestyle choices, and stress management in its development and exacerbation. She critiques the conventional approach of using oral contraceptives as a temporary fix, advocating instead for holistic treatments that address root causes and promote long-term health. The episode also addresses the issue of healthcare provider dismissiveness towards PCOS symptoms and the importance of patient advocacy in seeking comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and personalized treatment plans. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of PCOS and its management and to learn how to advocate for better healthcare.
