- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1-in-10 women. It alters the way the ovaries function, resulting in a wide range of reproductive, metabolic, and psychological symptoms. To mark PCOS awareness month, Dr Nitu is here to tell us more alongside her nutritionist daughter Rohini - who struggled herself with PCOS symptoms including acne, hair loss and anxiety. Both Rohini and her mum want to break the stigma around the condition, and help the thousands of women suffering in silence.

The hardest part is getting a diagnosis I'm still not officially diagnosed even though doctors are certain I have it
Thankfully I apparently manage it well though I've been trying different treatments for years
As a nutritionist the lady should know its not just about what you eat. Women with PCOS suffer from food noise and extreme cravings. No change in diet helps get rid of food noise.
It's not "food noise", it's *_sugar_* noise.
It isn't " food cravings", it's *_sugar_* cravings.
Sugar is the specific chemical substance that people crave in food.
This is just like how nicotine is the specific chemcial substance that people crave in cigarettes or "dip".
In other words, it's not food you are after, it is the addictive substance found in some foods → sugar.
So, yes, it's literally all about what you eat.
When you drink alcohol, you risk alcohol addiction.
If you don't out alcohol in your body, you will never get alcohol cravings.
If you don't put nicotine into your body, you will never crave nicotine.
If you never put caffeine in your body you will never crave caffeine.
If you never out sugar (carbs) in your body, you will never crave sugar.
100% about what you out in your body.
Sugar is addictive.
Don't eat it.
Carbs are just grouos of augar molecules.
Don't eat carbs.
Or do and become a sugar addict and develop PCOS as a side effect of long-term substance abuse.
If you want to get rid of "noise" and cravings related to food, do a 90 day zero-carb detox diet.
You will go through sugar withdrawals during the first two weeks.
Then you will break the addiction.
The rest of the 90 days are for building up different eating habits so you don't relapse back into sugar addiction.
@@Hertz2laughpeople don’t develop pcos because they’re sugar addicts, you can be healthy and avoid too much sugar and still have pcos (I do). There’s an assumption pcos people are overweight and unhealthy. There’s plenty of lean pcosers who eat healthy and work out and still have pcos. There needs to be more research and less assumptions
@@cupcaketraveler Believe whatever you want.
If you have PCOS and take a fasting insulin test, you will see that you have fasting insulin over 6 uIU/mL.
The test doesn't lie.
That elevated insulin is coming mostly from eating carbs (a.k.a. sugars).
It can also come from poor sleep and chronic stress.
Skinny doesn't mean healthy.
You can have elevated insulin and be skinny.
Love this doctor makes it so easy to understand glad they keep having her back x
I'm absolutely delighted this is being spoken about, there really needs to be more awareness!
It’s impossible, I have a diagnosis, and only recently ovulated after going 3 years without a period
I have PCOS. Only got diagnosed earlier this year after YEARS of being dismissed by doctors because I was underweight and they thought my periods stopped because of that, I also have excessive body hair and the doctors thought I was anorexic (but I wasn’t) but even when I got to a healthy weight my periods were still bad (I was put on the pill but it worsened things for me). I finally got the diagnosis, changed certain things about my lifestyle (diet and exercising more) and going on the Contraceptive Patch. I now have periods every months thanks to the patch; my acne has cleared up on my face and luckily I don’t have any acne scars on my face but I have them on my chest and back) and overall I feel better. I’ve also experienced headaches and joint pain but that has also seemed to improve with the patch. It really can be a struggle but it’s good to know that I’m not alone
Thank you for having this important conversation. We are working tirelessly bring about change for all those living with the condition, as far too often women and people living with PCOS are not taken seriously which has poor health outcomes and a negative impact on quality of life
Mine spontaneously reversed about two years ago. Clockwork periods now. Maybe it would have happened anyhow, but I cut out stress and went to bed at a reasonable hour. I didn't keep to that regime but I still have regular periods and ovulate.
Yeah sorry but pcos doesn’t get cured by good sleep.
The worst thing nhs doesn’t medicate women apart from the pill or metformin. Wegovy should be made available on the nhs for women.
I had PCOS. Extremely painful period until they disappeared for 3 moths. Nothing helped. And I trie acupuncture and their herbal tea. Chinese tradition medicine. After 1 session of Acupuncture my period came back and exactly on the day when it used to be. And no pain at all. And after few months I fell pregnant too.
First!
