  • Summary

  • We're diving deep into PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), which has become a big topic lately. A lot of women are struggling with it and feel hopeless after getting diagnosed, like there’s nothing that can be done. I’m here to tell you that’s not true, you can absolutely help yourself, and I'm going to break down a game plan that you can start implementing today. PCOS comes with a variety of symptoms like difficulty losing weight, insulin sensitivity issues, and even infertility struggles. But it’s not a dead end. I see women with PCOS all the time, and while everyone’s case is a little different, I co-manage these cases with functional medicine and create personalized game plans. Today, I’m sharing three steps you can start with to manage PCOS. First up, we need to address inflammation at the cellular level, which starts with your diet. I often recommend a keto or carnivore approach to help the body switch from burning carbs to burning fat, which can help regulate insulin and reduce inflammation. Next, we need to talk about exercise. If you’re doing intense HIIT workouts, it might be making your inflammation worse. Instead, I suggest lifting weights two to three times a week and incorporating more walking. Movement heals, but we need to do it in a way that helps the body, not stresses it out more. Finally, there’s the pelvic floor to think about. Pelvic floor rehab is crucial because PCOS can often involve scar tissue and other issues in that area. We’ll focus on breathing techniques, lymph drainage, and even simple exercises like putting your legs up against the wall to get things moving. This is just the start of the game plan. In part two, I’ll dive into more steps to help you take control of PCOS. Don’t forget to tag me if you share this episode and let me know how it’s helping you. You’re not alone in this journey, and you CAN heal. ================================ Grab my free Breathe out of Tension Game Plan HERE: https://www.mytrainingroom.co/breathe... ================================ Connect with Dr. Audra on Instagram HERE: / draudralance Connect with Dr. Audra on TikTok: / doctoraudra ================================ Get your FREE WEEKLY PEP TALK: Get the inside scoop on celebrity's and athletes' health secrets and tips for living your best life: https://www.mytrainingroom.co/app-landing-page ================================ Grab your GAME PLAN and start living your best life HERE: https://www.mytrainingroom.co/services-1
