If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling unheard, struggled with weight gain that doesn’t make sense, or been told that birth control is your only solution for PCOS—you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tallene and Sirak, the duo behind PCOS Weight Loss, to break down what’s really happening in the body with PCOS, why so many women feel lost after their diagnosis, and how to take control of your health. We’re unpacking the biggest myths about PCOS, why "just eat less and exercise more" doesn’t work, and how balancing blood sugar and stress can be game-changers.

But this conversation goes deeper than just symptom management. We’re diving into the misdiagnosis problem, the link between insulin resistance and fertility, and the real lifestyle shifts that make a difference—without extreme dieting or over-exercising. Plus, we’re getting into the benefits of strength training, the impact of dairy and gluten, and the most well-researched supplements for PCOS (that are actually worth your money).

If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you or you’re overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode is here to give you clarity.

Tallene and Sirak are the husband-and-wife team behind PCOS Weight Loss, a science-backed platform helping women take control of their symptoms through sustainable nutrition, strength training, and lifestyle changes.
