In today’s episode, Alisha Carlson dives into the misunderstood world of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), revealing why it's more than just a reproductive disorder — it’s a metabolic issue, rooted in insulin resistance.

She breaks down how traditional advice falls short and why a holistic approach that includes strength training, smart nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle shifts is the real game-changer.

If you’re tired of band-aid solutions and ready to heal from the inside out, this is the StrongHer Way.

Key Takeaways:

• PCOS is often misdiagnosed and is driven largely by insulin resistance.
• Healing PCOS naturally starts with building muscle, balancing blood sugar, and reducing chronic stress.
• Nutrition matters: eat enough, fuel consistently, and prioritize quality foods over constant dieting.
• Stress is not just emotional—it’s biochemical. Chronic stress worsens PCOS symptoms and fuels inflammation.
• Walking after meals, strength training, and simple daily habits can radically shift your metabolic health.
• Healing your hormones is a journey—one rooted in partnership with your body, not punishment.
