In this episode of There Qi Goes, Katherine Roland takes a deep dive into one of the most common yet misunderstood women’s health conditions: PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). But this isn't your average Western medicine take—Katherine unpacks the emotional and energetic imbalances behind PCOS through the lens of Chinese medicine, helping listeners understand how the body, mind, and spirit all contribute to hormonal health.
You’ll learn:
How PCOS is diagnosed in Western medicine
The Chinese medicine perspective on PCOS, including concepts like dampness, heat, cold, and spleen qi deficiency
Why stress, trauma, and anxiety are major drivers of PCOS—and how to start healing them
What kinds of foods to avoid to reduce dampness and heat in the body
Why raw foods, sugar, coffee, and over-exercising may be sabotaging your hormones
How to tell if you’re ovulating (naturally!) and what to do if you’re not
How to prep your body for fertility and conception
Whether facial hair, acne, and fatigue can go away (yes, they can!)
