Manage episode 372114250 series 3008829
In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, Dr Mary delves into the topic of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - a condition that affects one in eight women and carries far reaching implications for their health and well being. With a mix of emotions, Dr Mary shares her personal journey with PCOS, opening up about the struggles of dealing with depression, anxiety, negative body image, and low self esteem. You’ll hear about the lifelong impact of PCOS, as Dr Mary dispels the misconception that it solely impacts women during their reproductive age. From childhood weight gain and psychological challenges, to infertility, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, a decreased healthspan and a decreased lifespan, she emphasises the need to address these issues and improve the quality of life for girls and women living with this condition. You’ll be inspired as Dr Mary offers a message of hope, encouraging women to utilise the powerful medical and cosmetic treatments available, as well as emphasising the significance of self acceptance and self love as cornerstones of the healing journey. Calling for awareness and collective action, Dr Mary provides valuable insights for girls and women living with PCOS, illuminating a path where knowledge, self compassion, lifestyle changes and the right medical support, can lead to a light at the end of the tunnel.
