Dr. Betty Murray explains that PCOS isn't one disease but three phenotypes: insulin-resistant, adrenal-dominant, or inflammatory. Each needs different treatment. Generic advice about exercise and calories doesn't work; you need to identify your phenotype first.
PMOS is not a single disease. It's not anything about cysts on the ovaries, and it's a syndrome, which means that it has multiple phenotypes, right? That classic, the adrenal, or the inflammatory. So the insulin, the adrenal, or the inflammatory, and often they start to commingle, but the primary driver is the important one, and it requires a lab-guided approach and requires an understanding of the phenotype approach. If you get a chance, I would love for you to go out and take my phenotype quiz, and how you get to that is go to quiz. Dr. Betty Murray, gethormonesnow.com, and you can take that phenotype quiz and understand exactly which area you are in because we can see it. And this is why the exercise more, eat better, calories in, calories out is wildly insufficient and is wildly insufficient for women as a whole, but especially a woman who might've been dealing with this their entire adult life.
