It's Not You, It's PCOS

25/02/2026

New episode out now.

Hirsutism — excess facial or body hair — is one of the most distressing and misunderstood symptoms of PCOS. Beyond the physical symptom, it can deeply affect how women feel about themselves, impacting self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth.

In the latest episode of It’s Not You, It’s PCOS, we break down the science behind hirsutism and PCOS, including:

• Why it happens
• The role of insulin resistance and hormones
• What nutrition and supplements can realistically help
• And what is simply a waste of your money

This is an honest, evidence-based conversation to help women understand their bodies — and make informed decisions without false promises.
