<p>In this episode, we are revisiting a conversation with <strong>Katherine</strong>, who bravely shares her story of <strong>navigating PCOS from her teenage years into her forties</strong>. She opens up about the struggles she faced—<strong>late diagnosis, dealing with weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue,</strong> and the emotional toll of trying to figure out what worked for her body.</p><br><p>We talk about the frustration of being told to <strong>“just lose weight”</strong> as a solution, the <strong>confusion around conflicting PCOS advice</strong>, and the moment she realized that <strong>insulin resistance</strong> was at the root of her symptoms.</p><br><p>Katherine shares how <strong>small but powerful changes</strong>—starting with something as simple as <strong>breakfast</strong>—transformed her <strong>energy levels, reduced cravings,</strong> and gave her a whole new perspective on managing PCOS.</p><br><p>We also dive into some common <strong>PCOS myths</strong>, like the idea that <strong>menopause will magically “fix” PCOS</strong> or that <strong>getting a hysterectomy is the answer</strong>. <strong>Spoiler: It’s not.</strong> Instead, we discuss why <strong>focusing on the root cause</strong> is the real game-changer and how taking control now can make a huge difference in <strong>long-term health</strong>.</p><br><p><strong>Katherine’s journey</strong> is one that so many of us can relate to—the <strong>frustration, the trial and error,</strong> but ultimately, the <strong>hope</strong> that comes with understanding what’s really going on in your body. If you’ve ever felt <strong>stuck, confused, or like you’re just meant to struggle with PCOS forever,</strong> this episode is for you.</p><br><p>Take the<u> </u><a href="https://ovie.io/questionnaire/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;utm_campaign=Katherinesstory" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Ovie questionnaire </u></a>and figure out the best PCOS management plan for you.</p><br><p>Have you already completed the questionnaire?
