Episode 197: Fertility, PCOS and YOUR Bariatric Journey

Did you know that approximately 20% of women suffer with PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome? It affects women of all sizes and shapes and races. For those who also suffer from obesity, having PCOS makes it very difficult to lose weight without intervention. Fertility can also be affected by PCOS and obesity. In this episode, Kate Fuss, an extraordinarily talented PA in the field of bariatrics, interview a renowned Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility physician, Dr. Carter Owen, about the complex and interrelated issues of PCOS, fertility, insulin resistance and  myriad of issues associated with these struggles. Listen in and learn about how these medical complications are related to obesity, weight loss and fertility.
