PCOS, Insulin Resistance & Weight Loss: What Women Need to Know

PCOS, Insulin Resistance & Weight Loss: What Women Need to Know

PCOS is often reduced to one piece of advice: “just lose weight.” But the reality is far more complex. In this episode of It's Pretty Simple, I speak with PCOS dietitian Sana about what’s really happening in the body with PCOS — from insulin resistance and hormones to nutrition and lifestyle. We break down common myths around carbs, gluten, dairy, HIIT training, and GLP-1 medications, and discuss what actually helps women manage symptoms and improve their health. If you have PCOS or work with women who do, this conversation will help you understand the bigger picture behind weight loss, metabolism, and long-term health.
