In today's episode, I'll share not just my personal anecdotes but also dive into the signs, symptoms, and the nuanced process of diagnosing adrenal PCOS. We'll also unpack the role of stress hormones, the relevance of cortisol rhythm over mere blood tests, and discuss why adrenal health matters more than we might think, especially for those of us leading high-pressure lives.

Imagine being a high-flying professional or a dedicated athlete and discovering that your unwavering commitment to success could be silently contributing to hormone imbalances. It's a paradox I see often in my clients, and in this episode, we discuss why individuals with seemingly robust drive and stamina could be more prone to adrenal PCOS. We examine the telltale signs of adrenal imbalance, the surprising connection between past traumas and PCOS, and why even the strongest among us need to heed the call to manage stress.

In the closing chapter of our conversation, we embrace the delicate dance of fertility and menstrual health, confronting the irony that conception might just occur when we ease up on our strict health regimens. I'll also introduce you to my secret allies—rhodiola and ashwagandha—and share how these natural wonders can be instrumental in supporting adrenal function. By the end of this episode, you'll have a trove of lifestyle adjustments and holistic strategies to help you navigate your adrenal PCOS
