The diet that cured my PCOS—and ended my battle with infertility.
Every MD gave me the same shoulder shrug, offering me a cocktail of under-researched medications and vague promises that the drugshelp with the symptoms. But they never addressed the underlying causes. This was unacceptable to me. I was studying biology and planning to become an OB/GYN myself, so I did my own research. And after spending all my free time at the library, I discovered a condition that sounded exactly like what I was experiencing: polycystic ovarian syndrome .
That discovery was supposed to be my big breakthrough, the moment my life got better. Instead, my doctor confirmed the diagnosis and prepared me for a grim future. As I aged, I could expect to gain more weight, get diabetes, and develop heart disease and cancer. Oh, and I would likely never be able to have children naturally—even with IVF. I was offered even more medication and no promise of a cure.
But the pill sparked the idea that changed everything for me: If a hormone imbalance was the issue, rather than putting synthetic hormones in my body, could I get my endocrine system to make balanced levels of hormones in the first place? Would that end my condition?I changed the direction of my education so I could dive deeper into hormones and nutrition. I was shocked to learn that my story was far from unique.
