PCOS, Insulin Resistance, Inflammation, and GLP-1 Therapy

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) isn’t just about irregular cycles—it’s a full-body metabolic disorder linked to insulin resistance, inflammation, and long-term health risks. In this episode, we dive deep into how GLP-1 receptor agonists—medications originally designed for diabetes—are now emerging as a powerful tool for PCOS management.

Joining us is Scientific Snitch (Ella), who shares her personal experience living with PCOS and how navigating traditional treatments led her to GLP-1 therapy. She opens up about the struggles of insulin resistance, weight fluctuations, and inflammation—and how she finally found something that worked.

We’ll explore:
✅ Why insulin resistance is a core issue in PCOS and how it fuels weight gain, cravings, and hormone imbalances.
✅ The science behind GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide—how they work beyond just weight loss.
✅ The role of chronic inflammation in PCOS and how lowering it can improve energy, cycles, and long-term metabolic health.
✅ Personal insights from our guest’s journey, including what worked, what didn’t, and key takeaways for women considering GLP-1s.
✅ How to approach PCOS treatment holistically, combining medications with nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine strategies.

If you or someone you love is struggling with PCOS, this episode is packed with real-world experience, cutting-edge science, and practical strategies to help you take control of your health.
