Trending PCOS Diets: Fact or Fad? | Funny Medicine Podcast

Struggling with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)? In this episode of Funny Medicine Podcast, we break down the most talked-about PCOS diets—Low-Glycemic Index, DASH, Mediterranean, Low-Carb/Keto—and separate evidence-based nutrition from social media hype. Learn how to manage insulin resistance, balance hormones, and support weight loss with PCOS-friendly meal plans. We also debunk myths about dairy, gluten, and carbs, explore the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) in PCOS, and share practical tips for mental health, exercise, and lifelong wellness.
