Dr. Felice Gersh is a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine and the Founder and Director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, a practice that provides comprehensive health care for women by combining the best evidence-based therapies from conventional, naturopathic, and holistic medicine. She’s also the best-selling author of PCOS SOS and The PCOS SOS Fertility Fast Track.

I’m so excited to talk with Felice today and tap into her wisdom on the subject of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which has been around for at least 50,000 years. In this episode, we talk about how the modern world has impacted the presentation of PCOS, why it’s actually an endocrine disorder (not a disease), common symptoms associated with PCOS, how it’s misunderstood, the different types of PCOS, why birth control pills can be risky for women with PCOS, and so much more!
