The Doctors Kitchen | Fix your PCOS with Dr Nitu Bajekal @doctors_kitchen | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
We have a packed episode today discussing what my guest describes as, the epidemic of PCOS. Dr Nitu Bajekal is a Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Author and Board-Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician in the UK with over 35 years of clinical experience in women’s health.
And today we’re talking about:
how you can spot the signs of PCOS
Why PCOS costs billions in healthcare costs annually
Why women from ethnic minorities are at worse risk
We also discuss how 3 in 4 of those with PCOS remain undiagnosed, because of how complex a condition it is
We talk about Insulin Resistance
Oestrogen Dominance, and whether that’s a thing or not
The Oestrobolome
And how to avoid bloating when inching toward a more whole food plant based diet
As you can tell this episode is going to be packed with information, but you can also check out Nitu’s book, Living PCOS Free that she co-authored of with her daughter and nutritionist, Rohini Bajekal.
