PCOS (aka. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a complex issue impacting many out there that can cause specific skin issues!

So let this be a reminder that PCOS is not just a fertility disorder because it can + does impact the entire body in ways you might not even realize.

This is the first-ever episode to focus on PCOS and my guest today knows exactly how challenging it can be for women to just get a diagnosis.

We're going to dive into PCOS testing, PCOS root causes, the PCOS-gut connection and of course, the PCOS-skin rash connection that is often overlooked (with the exception of acne).

My guest today is Jillian Greaves. She's a Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist, the owner of the private practice Jillian Greaves Functional Nutrition & Wellness, and the creator of the PCOS Root Reversal Program. Jillian provides comprehensive nutrition and lifestyle counseling to women, with a special emphasis on PCOS, hormone balance, and digestive health. Jillian helps clients identify and address the root causes of their hormone and digestive symptoms using advanced lab testing, personalized nutrition, and supportive lifestyle therapies as the first line of intervention. It's her mission to empower women to take back control of their health, reclaim their confidence, and experience life at its fullest potential.
