In this episode Tina identifies the link between the thyroid and PCOS. This is an important topic that really needs to be addressed because when diagnosed with PCOS you are not really given any kind of support or guidance on how to treat this condition, you are simply told you have PCOS, most likely given the birth control or another type of medication and sent on your way. There is no further examination of what may have caused this problem. Being given the pill as a source of treatment and then being told just take this and everything will be fine is not right, because these approaches don’t get to the root cause of PCOS. In order to treat PCOS, you must get to the root cause.  Find out What the link between thryoid and PCOS What causes problems with the thyroid to occur What tests you must do to check your thyroid.
