In this weeks episode we have PCOS Psychologist Dr Gretchen Kubacky from PCOS Wellness on to discuss Mental Health and PCOS.
We hear from Gretchen about:
- Her own journey with PCOS
- The link between PCOS and Mental Health issues
- The mental health issues that are seen in the PCOS community
- How food can play a role in mental health
- Foods that can help with mental health
- How hormones can effect mental health
- Self-care practices that can improve mental health
Brigitte and Mel also give some random recommendations! Although Mel gives the total wrong name to the show she recommends, let’s blame pregnancy brain. At one point she calls the show “Growing Amy”, then she calls it “Birthing Amy”…no…both incorrect. It’s actually called “Expecting Amy”.
You can find Gretchen on Facebook @PCOSwellness and you can find her book The PCOS Mood Cure on her website www.pcoswellness.com
