PCOS Diva show

Summary: <div class="uk-article-title">The natural treatment of PCOS is a passion of mine.  I am happy to share this passion with Dr. Lara Briden, a well respected naturopathic physician.  Dr. Briden is my “period guru.”  Her new book, <a href="http://www.larabriden.com/period-repair-manual/" target="_blank">The Period Repair Manual</a>, was on my list of vacation reading.  For every woman who has ever thought, “I will never have a regular period,” this interview is for you. In our 40 minute interview, she addressed many of the questions I get about herbal supplements for treating PCOS symptoms including insulin resistance, hirstuism and ovulation issues.</div> <p>In our time together, she explained:</p> <ul> <li>Why doesn’t the same herb work for all women with PCOS?</li> <li>What herbs are best for different symptoms?</li> <li>Is it safe to take herbs while you are taking fertility drugs, pregnant or breastfeeding?</li> <li>What are the benefits and constraints of herbs  such as vitex, peony, licorice, spearmint, turmeric, saw palmetto, myo-inositol, <a href="http://pcosdiva.com/store/">berberine </a>and more?</li> </ul>
