Eat To Beat PCOS | Dr. Mark Hyman
PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, affects between 5 to 10 percent of all women. PCOS symptoms include irregular or heavy periods, acne, facial hair, scalp hair loss, increased belly fat, and increased levels of testosterone. It is also strongly correlated with infertility. While conventional medicine typically views PCOS as a gynecological issue, it is actually commonly driven by things such as diet, environmental toxins, genetics, and more.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss the Functional Medicine approach to treating patients with PCOS. They delve into topics including the relationship between PCOS and insulin resistance, gut health, and much more.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing, she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal from Breast Cancer explores the Functional Medicine approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.

My daughter has PCOS. She had very heavy and long periods. Sometimes 50 days straight. She went on a sugar free, low carb, high protein diet. NO processed foods. She is now doing great. She now has a reg period, no long cycles. If she slips and go back to the SAD diet, it all comes back. She has lost 114 lbs. She also started ovulating on her own as well. Diet is KEY.
I'm 13 minutes in and I can't continue to listen because Mark Hyman is so judgmental of patients and expresses seldom compassion for what they may be going through.

Hii I have a question and I can’t find anything online about this, so I was wondering if you could share your experience. Actually my period was fine as long as I was working out regularly, but my biggest problem was the hirsutism and hair loss with pcos, so I started keto and IF and suddenly my period is gone (only some spotting for 2 days) and my cup size has gone down .. hair loss has improved though. So I found one doctor (from the book fast like a girl) that said you shouldn’t fast the week before your period. Do you fast differently depending on the time of the month? Also, what does low carb look like to you, do you track every single thing you eat to count total carbs or do you just make sure all your food items are low in carbs? Lol sorry for all these random questions, I just can’t find any sources on what could cause these problems with my period

I had the opposite result and lost my period for 4yrs while on low carb. It came back within 3 months of eating back carbs like quinoa, oats, potatoes, etc. My LH and FSH levels were tanked and thyroid too. After increasing carbs all the hormones shifted to balance again. PCOS but regular period within 35days, hoping for 28 day cycles. I think PCOS is an umbrella term and varies actually...wish low carb had worked for me like magic for others.

Many fat women do NOT gorge on donuts. Some try very hard to eat what they are told is healthy. It does not work.
People with PCOS: - Keep your insulin LOW (insulin spikes are hell for PCOS - we have higher circulating insulin/insulin resistance to begin with) - High protein - High healthy fat - Low carb (eat carbs 2 or three times a week max) - Low to zero sugar - Stay away from processed foods - Stay away from alcohol - Stay away from 'low fat' diet foods (there is a TON of sugar in those) - Walking and low intensity resistance training (no intense cardio workouts because the cortisol caused by those will make your body go crazy and throw your hormones off even more) - Make small adjustments and look at your body like an experiment (keep a journal) - You're in this for the long haul -- don't expect to lose more than 10kg in a year. It's pretty much impossible with PCOS. Slow and steady. I've lost 20+ kg doing this for the last three years. Before that NOTHING worked. No diet worked except eating in a more hunter gatherer type of way. Your genetic makeup is too old for the modern food industry.
Thank you so much for this podcast! I’ve been strugling so much with my PCOS since my early teens, when I was diagnosed, but the only possible solution I was given was the pill. Tried it at first, but got terrible side effects. I had so much nausea in the morning that I decided to stop taking it and just gave up. Now that I’m in my twenties, I decided to study by myself to try and revert the situation by focusing on a more natural (No drug use) solution. Especialist podcasts like this have been incredibly helpfull!

Hi, I too had a huge ovarian cyst while pregnant, it was 7 pounds and I felt like I was about to burst, carrying triplets size wise. They removed the cyst and ovary during c section. I only just figured out PCOS and hyperangrogenism as I’m post menopausal and I’m gaining a lot of weight plus having high cholesterol, blood pressure, heart palpitations, insomnia, depression, lack of energy etc. I used to be very active, Do labor work 5 hours a day and this all started after I stopped being active, so my first guess is that exercise is of importance.
After living with pcos for over 10 years, I can understand how insensitive and rude his comments about it were Iike it’s a joke. This is a serious problem and it’s not a laughing matter. So it’s not about being too sensitive it’s about caring for other people and being sensitive to their issues. It was an informative video but it could have been handled better and with more care.
This condition makes me want to give up. It's hard to deal with.

Supplements can help and eating a clean diet as much as possible. It's not fair but bad foods go against us. To be honest I stopped desiring kids. It seems I put so much effort in and was not to be. I have sort of relaxed and accepted that it might never happen. I tried to work less and avoid stress as much as possible. Found a job closer to my house and I feel so much better having a more relaxed lifestyle. I was under a lot of stress in my previous jobs running a lot after money. But now I put my health first. 😊 ❤❤❤
wish the guy would shut up and let her speak
They didn't diagnose me for 15 years until I had an IUD insertion, and later a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm its placement. That's when they finally saw my ovaries. They looked like raspberries. My doctors denied this diagnosis because I wasn't overweight. When I went on birth control, the acne and excess hair aspect went away. Wishing everyone the best researching this syndrome. It's hard because it feels like we are on our own with it.

I cannot tell you how much I liked listening to this. I am a 75 yr old women who has suffered my entire life with allergies to everything from medicines to foods to insect bites which literally drove me into intensive care with an anaphylactic shock for 2 days. I also suffered from pcos all through my early life. Doctors never said there was a cure. Absolutely everything you mentioned in this video I have gone through except the infertility. Amazingly I had two easy pregnancies however on my second child I had a RH factor which lead them to induce my labor in the 8th month. Since I have been reading and listening to Dr. Hyman I now realize that if only a doctor someplace had tested my hormones or even know the correlation way back when I could have saved myself from years of pain and suffering. BTW I also suffer from IBS. I know now it is all connected. I hope you reach many young people to educate them. Save them from the same pain and suffering.

When I was pregnant I had food aversion. I could only eat protein and fruits. I lost 17 pounds and only gained 17 pounds with my pregnancy. My daughter was in her senior year when covid hit and the stress caused the PCOS. Her diet was too carb laden and her stress level was through the roof. She has one breast much larger and she is too heavy and has a full beard. We are working to change her diet but still not much has changed. I have her on herbs to help her balance. We have had an incredibly horrible 7 years, but now we are at the end of that tunnel. I am hoping now we can get it under control.

Plus, you make it sound so easy to just stop eating all these things. It's not easy for some of us.

We don't earn much on farm work, but living expenses are waaay less, plus we get rent from the house so we probably earn comparatively as much as we were when we where in the system.

Then i started to dedicate a specific budget for my food. cut the processed foods and takeout, invest in your food, and that alone makes a huge difference.

You can eat whatever you want so long as your total daily carbs are under 20g. Best stuff is fatty meats, sea food, eggs, butter/ghee, salt, water. Dark green vegetables can be taken in very limited quantities. Hard cheeses are okay for some people. Generally speaking, pass on everything else. Yes, *_EVERYTHING_* else. If you really want to, you can read up on each food's nutrition facts to see how many carbs they have. Then you can eat that food so long as you don't go over 20g carbs/day. The closer to 0 carbs/day you get, the faster you will heal. But you can go up to 20g carbs/day. Be ready to go through sugar withdrawals for the first week or so -- headache, low energy, mood swings, intense cravings, etc. Temporary. Not dangerous. Also, check with your doctor every month or two. You might need to reduce the dosages of your meds (if you're on meds) as your body heals. Happy to answer questions.

My dietician just suggested low GI which is far more realistic and you don't need to cut out carbs entirely but I'm from the UK so maybe advice is different here. I've successfully lost weight whilst still eating "carbs" because carbs are in everything even fruits and vegetables. I believe the best thing to do would be not to focus on the amount of carbs in grams you get daily but trying to increase protein and fibre intake. It's not sustainable to just get 20g of carbohydrates a day and I don't even know how this is achievable if you're eating fruits and vegetables.

most PCOS & FMS, endometriosis, dementia, strokes, blindness etc are all from insulin resistance. Don't suffer any longer; undo the Hyperinsulinemia damage: 1) mostly unrefined whole foods & water. More Fiber, Protein, fill with Fats. Cut the sugar & man-made foods/beverages. 2) Strength training + cardio most days, less sitting more exercise GRADUALLY. 3) get quality sleep, and don't stress so much!

5-10%…actually that’s much lower than I thought. I know plenty that have it. Wish it was 0%. It’s a horrible dysfunction that can cause life long health problems. Stress doesn’t help either. Metabolic dysfunction is so common. I had severe metabolic dysfunction. I did Lion diet (mainly ruminate meat based Carnivore) strictly for 3 months. Then converted to Carnivore for 5 months to date and lost 53kg. All mental and metabolic dysfunction long gone. You don’t need to go as hardcore as me, rather try Ketogenic diet and see how you go from there.

Meat diet fixed my PCOS that I suffered for over 20 years. I am 49 now and never been happier. Carnivore diet all the way. Too bad I didn’t know about carnivore when I tried to get pregnant so ended up going through infertility treatments spending alot. I mean really I lot.

For some people fasting helps, but starving urself won't help with pcos. So there is a better way of fasting while eating three meals a day, which is stop eating any kind of food at seven at night and schedule ur next meal at seven in the morning. That's a 12 hours fasting window which is really helpful. It will help with ur insulin resistance and u can change the time as per your likings and lifestyle.

When I was 18 I had an ectopic pregnancy, the dr had said it was caused by pcos, thankfully I was able to pass the fetus naturally without medication but no one ever discussed pcos to me or what to do about it. I was emotionally torn apart with the whole situation I didn’t even consider it myself. Now I’m 25 I have a full on beard, I can’t seem to lose the weight around my waist and my period last anywhere between 12 to 16 days, stop for a day or 2 and then start back up for 2 more weeks. Sometimes I skip a few months and sometimes it’s non stop bleeding for 4 months. I was in the military and all they ever cared about was birth control and dismissed everything and now I don’t have insurance or resources to even go see a doctor. Not to mention I also have a nexplanon bar in my arm. I’m sure it’s contributing to the bleeding but I don’t have insurance and without insurance it cost $750 so I guess I’m stuck with this thing in my arm feeding me artificial hormones

Wonderful video. thank you! Oh, I feel so lost in this problem. I live in Japan, and we only have small private clinics which won't provide an objective test on something like this. I was told that I have PCOS at a maternity clinic, but they don't provide any treatment for it other than birth control. They don't know anyone who can help you and won't tell you, so you have to go from one clinic to another, paying a lot of money and commuting to a very far places, in hope that if they won't advise you any treatment they at least help to find someone who can. I went to a clinic specializing on diabetes, but though they could make a blood test on insulin resistance (which I do have), they won't provide any tests for vitamins. Also they don't have a dietologist. So now I have to fo to another pricey clinic to do a test for vitamins (I don't even know what it contains, because this test is considered as a beauty procedure) and then go to yet another clinic to a dietologist who may be would tell me something new. But if I would want to make any test for my guts, I would have to go to yet another clinic and try to explain why I want this specific set of tests. I have no one to ask about it, toconsult with, have to try to think up of all needed tests based on youtube videos like yours and then have to persuade a clinic to let me do the tests. It's so frustrating. Feels like a labyrinth and I don't know where to even start from. :c

There are varying symptoms and types of PCOS people deal with when it comes to it and varying severities. There is a higher number of people with insulin resistance but there are some without and their pcos symptoms are more based around inflammation and adrenal. Alot of people have a combination of things. But some things that seem to help with all is 1. Sleep 2. Stress management 3. Low stress exercise 4. Balanced diet 5. Vitamins and supplements (they have done studies showing that alot of people with pcos are deficient in vitamin d and inositol). Next time taking a blood test perhaps check your inflammation, vitamin and cortisol levels as well as a hormone panel

I remember back in 2012, I was working on a job for the VA and came across documents showing a man who was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes and the cause was listed as being from exposure to agent orange. The herbicides and pesticides in our food no doubt contribute to the epidemic of insulin resistance which is what is truly causing the massive rise in obesity. Our food and environment are packed full of endocrine disrupters. It can be impossible to lose weight when your body is not wired correctly.

Research says dairy does not cause congestion and if my husband does not get milk for three days he gets hospitalized. He can only drink organic milk or he gets sick. Unfortunately many brands like Horizon are not really organic and if he drinks one he has a bad reaction in seconds. Research also says low fat dairy has no benefits but men who drink whole milk are: 1.thinner, 2. more fit., 3. less likely to have a stroke, 4. Less likely to have a heart attack, and 5. Less likely to become alcoholics. Science!

talk to a nutritionist if possible lots of PCOS experts say keto is bad for women, especially with PCOS. They can do checks to see what the problem is because there are different types...for instance, my nutritionist has me do this (general); morning warm water with lemon, then 1 boiled egg and 35 grams of cereal like oats or buckwheat 125 mil of lactose-free milk or plant-based milk and 10 grams of nuts or nut butter...lunch and dinner is like 100g of a protein but you can only eat pork or beef 1 time per week rest should be fish, poultry or beans...like 125gr of complex carb if potato 80 grams and veg at least 200g, and the Mediterranean diet is really good for PCOS...you want a lot of omega 3 I would check out Alissa Vitti she wrote Women Code and she has a good diet as well where its more of a rotation of what you eat to support different hormonal phases and if you don't have a period it tells you where to start to get back on track and there is even a "detox" to get you digestive system in order before you start to make sure you absorb nutrients and by detox its just having some soups and salads that really help get your digestive system in order not like a juice cleanse or anything crazy. also eating compote after dinner along with what my nutritionist suggested helps with digestion as well so like basically like apple sauce with no sugar or an extremely ripe fruit (apple, pear, plum, peach,)..you can lacto ferment foods to get natural probiotics...and try to walk, walking helps a lot and weight training.

If PCOS was a man's problem, they wouldve had a cure for it 35 years ago. Lol. When i had my 3 children (i had a lot of problems having the first one took me 11 months of trying hard every month to finally get pregnant at 29, then at 33 I got pregnant not trying and at 34 i got pregnant after 1 try) I was shocked at how wild the obstetricians were and really how much all doctors were to treat my health issues. Womens Health is like the wild west. Just crazy. They'd deny me medications i needed to live healthily even though those medications had long been tested to be fine for pregnant women. I even had a doctor refuse to do an ekg on my heart because i was diagnosed with a murmur and tachycardia he just gave me some pills to slow the heart rate after i BEGGED, and refused to do the ekg. I could've had a heart attack for no good reason.
