203 – How Your Gut Health Affects PCOS [Podcast with Dr. Robin Rose]
Dr. Robin Rose explains how the gut microbiome directly affects PCOS and how a lot of the issues women face with PCOS like trying to conceive, hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues and increased inflammation are connected to gut health. Dr. Rose says “The gut microbiome is responsible for 80% of our immune health and overall health.” This means we should be paying more attention to how we can improve our gut health to improve our overall health and PCOS.
