Episode 56: Healing PCOS: Beyond the Diagnosis, with Lindsie Vizethann
Description
Lindsie Vizethann shares her journey from ER nurse to holistic health coach, revealing how her own health crisis led her to discover the power of nutrition and lifestyle for reversing chronic conditions like PCOS.
• Former healthcare professional who left nursing after 13 years to pursue holistic health coaching
• Personal experience with autoimmune issues that conventional medicine couldn't resolve
• PCOS symptoms often include chronic fatigue, abdominal weight gain, acne, facial hair, and irregular periods
• Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance that standard tests don't catch
• Normal blood glucose and A1C can mask underlying insulin problems
• Insulin levels should be tested directly but rarely are by conventional doctors
• PCOS frequently overlaps with thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's
• Roughly 30% of women over 18 may have PCOS, with many remaining undiagnosed
• Healing approach focuses on adding nutrients first before eliminating foods
• Sustainable results typically take 90 days, with non-scale victories appearing first
• Weight loss is a side effect of improved health, not the primary goal
• Self-advocacy is crucial when navigating the conventional healthcare system
