The "diabetes of the ovaries" analogy is a powerful tool for metabolic awareness, but the rigid dismissal of gluten and cardio oversimplifies a complex endocrine disorder. It successfully bridges the gap between science and lifestyle while occasionally leaning into one-size-fits-all wellness dogmatism.

Did you know that PCOS is also called "Diabetes of the Ovaries"?Added:
PCOS is considered diabetes of the ovaries. Here's why. Up to 80% of women with PCOS [music] have insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes if it goes unmanaged. And it often does go unmanaged [music] because we're told to go on birth control, which makes insulin resistance worse, or we're told to come back when we want to get pregnant, which means we just ignore our PCOS and insulin resistance [music] for years and years until we want to have kids. Not to mention we have these uncontrollable hormonal cravings that leads us to eat foods that make insulin resistance worse. Now, why is this such a big deal? Because when you have high insulin levels, that makes your ovaries overproduce testosterone, [music] which leads to PCOS symptoms like ovarian cysts, irregular periods, and weight gain. So, what can we do? Let's [music] focus on the habits that make us more insulin sensitive, like eating a high-protein breakfast, going on a walk after lunch, cutting out gluten and dairy for 30 days to [music] see if you're sensitive to it, doing slow-weighted workouts instead of intense cardio workouts that leads to [music] anxiety afterwards, and also a blood sugar roller coaster later on.
Changing our habits as soon as we know we have insulin resistance [music] or PCOS is ideal. That way we can gain control of our health before [music] it turns into diabetes.
