Clinical Manifestations of PCOS and Hormonal Imbalance With Dr. Felice Gersh

I had the pleasure of welcoming back Dr. Felice Gersh, a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, based in California, USA. Dr. Gersh is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to understanding women’s physiology. She doesn’t treat women’s health with a silo mentality, but instead as an intricate system of organs. She understands that the body has an amazing method of self-healing and repair when we simply use the right tools.  

In this podcast episode, we review common symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and how it takes two out of the three criteria to provide a clear diagnosis, how taking contraceptives can complicate diagnosis, and the considerations a woman needs to be aware of if considering pregnancy. We also summarize a few of the seven steps outlined in Dr. Gersh’s books, PCOS SOS and the PCOS SOS Fertility Fast Track. Also, just a reminder, her latest book Menopause: 50 Things You Need to Know, is now available on Amazon.
