37- The Power of Perspective
“The idea that we have to experience ourselves and be treated as if we are ill and wrong rather than individuals with our inherited physiology with some common experiences related to that is what I want to change our minds about.”
Nancy Dunne is a pioneer in holistic handling of PCOS and was instrumental in my own healing journey. Her positive spin on PCOS, focusing on the benefits of being a high androgen, inherently insulin resistant woman are life changing. In her view, “We are human beings with highly androgen influenced nervous systems and fundamentally feminine emotional hearts which is a very beautiful and very powerful combination of characteristics that should be developed and celebrated rather than suppressed and hidden.” In short, women with PCOS must adopt a powerfully positive lifestyle and perspective in order to truly thrive. Listen in as we discuss:
- The positive aspects of PCOS
- The 2 steps you must take to alleviate your suffering
- The importance of spirituality in healing
Nancy Dunne teaches high-androgen, inherently insulin resistant women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to maximize the many advantages we are born with & to minimize aspects that cause distress. In consultation, women living with PCOS are guided to learn behaviors that help create optimal well-being. As a postmenopausal woman with PCOS, having raised a peaceful, positive, thriving daughter who has PCOS & successfully treated hundreds of other women, she can assure us all that the rewards of naturopathically-informed self-care are profound & utterly reliable. She has served in a variety of volunteer leadership roles in the naturopathic medical profession with passion & gratitude. She earned her medical degree at National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1989 & a Master of Arts/Applied Behavioral Science from Bastyr University in 2002. Before that she was an obstetrical RN & a homebirth midwife. She is fascinated with aging & dying & what comes next! Nancy Dunne can be found at: www.PCOSConsultations.com
