Hi Cyster! Take the quiz in the description and comment your PCOS type below!

Okay so I'm not even a minute in but I am definitely all four of those types in one

I was diagnosed 18 months ago at the age of 35, but ‘knew’ I had it for much longer and was avoiding confronting it. My doctor was really helpful and my main concern was not having regular periods which isn’t good because not bleeding can lead to developing abnormal cells in your uterus. I was put on the progesterone only pill and persevered for 6 months until the headaches and constant spotting got too much. I decided to come off it and read some scientific research on supplements that help with PCOS. Here’s what I discovered (note: this is what I read in medical papers and it has worked to improve many of my symptoms. You should always follow proper medical advice and do your own research on reputable cites): - Cutting out (or majorly down) on dairy was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I did it before my diagnosis to help with migraines but it has also stopped some of my excessive hair growth and vastly improved the clarity of my skin. Dairy has been linked to ovarian cancer, but not enough research exists yet to fully determine how far this is true. - Taking Myo Inositol has been life changing in terms of my periods. I have a regular cycle for the first time in years, which also means my fertility has improved. Myself and my husband don’t want children, but if you read the testimonies of women who have taken this you will hear about some successes. It’s worth a try and can help alongside other prescribed medications. - Other supplements that improve the symptoms of PCOS are folic acid, zinc, vitamin b complex, N-acetyl cysteine, and L Carnitine. The first three help regulate periods and improve ovary/egg health and the last two help with insulin resistance. - Eat more protein and cut down on carbohydrates. This is good advice for most people, but anyone with PCOS should definitely consider doing this. Carbohydrates turn to sugar/insulin in the body and get stored more easily as fat. Upping my protein and actually eating more (just less carbs) helped me lose 9kg in five months. I wasn’t massively over weight but I was on the boundary according to BMI charts. I feel more like I’m in my own body now and have more confidence and energy. It was more about improving my self esteem than trying to get a ‘perfect’ body. - For hair loss, use rosemary oil on the scalp and leave on for a while before washing. Massage your scalp well and use Castor oil on the ends of your damp hair before drying. Also, sleep in a silk bun or equivalent to prevent breakage. I was shocked how much healthier my hair got overnight. - Other skin tips are to use jojoba oil at night. It’s not greasy and mimics the skins natural sebum. This means your getting moisture and softness, without risking a breakout. For spots, use salicylic acid and try to use a moisturiser that contains HA. Again, avoid dairy and eat plenty of leafy greens (spinach, kale etc). - For my mental health I take sertraline, as prescribed by my doctor, and I also take lions mane mushroom to improve my mood as well as making sure I get out for fresh air whenever I can. Sorry that this comment has gone on forever, but I really hope this advice might help someone : ) I didn’t do all of this overnight, I implemented things over a few years and slowly built up to my routine now. If you change or add one thing to your lifestyle once a month, think what you’ll achieve in a year. Be safe, be healthy and be happy with who you are ❤️

I used to have all the symptoms,then I make some lifestyle changes... now I'm number 2☺️☺️ the list of the things I did that change my life and I lose weight. 1) prayer...(2)I drink chamomile tea with apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning on empty stomach.. 3) I drink two cups of water an hour after the chamomile tea 4)...I don't go to gym,I do simple workout at home, like walking 10 000 steps just in my room.. 5)I eat seeds like, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, almond, sunflower and peanut.. 6)I only eat vegetable soup, eggs including chicken breast.. 7)...I stop eating fried foods, pasta,rice, noodles, refined carbohydrates and surgary food.. 8) I drink 3-4 liter of water a day and I drink mints tea twice a day, and I drink chamomile tea mix with a little cayenne pepper and apple cider vinegar and drink it before I go to bed...I pray that all women suffering from pcos will receive healing in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 God Bless y'all 💗💗💗🥰🥰 Edit.... Hello pcos sisters.. here's an update.. well i started this routine last year, for 9 years i wasn't ovulating and i was overweight with horrible breakout and irregular periods, I was also struggling with depression.. but last year I made a decision to change my lifestyle, which i posted before, and it's the best decision i ever made, my period became regular, my weight from 88 kg to 56 kg.. my skin is clear now,I now have alot of energy, I started ovulating and conceive twice but had miscarriage, my doctor told me that I had miscarriages because I'm anemic...I never knew i had anemia until my doctor told me to run a blood test... my advice to y'all is don't give up, you can overcome it... believe in yourself,if you want to follow up with my tips, make sure you take iron supplements, vitamin D3, vitamin B12 and folic acid in other to prevent anemia..even though i miscarriage twice am still happy because for 9 years i wasn't ovulating at all not to talk of conceiving, there's hope y'all.. God is with us all 🙏 Good luck to everyone one of us in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏

Cutting out sugar, flour, caffeine, alcohol and significantly reducing dairy have really improved my symptoms. Zero cystic pain since!

16yrs struggling with pcos. All 4 types 🤦🏻‍♀️ Symptoms: No periods Highly obese Thick Facial hair/body hair/ hairloss High blood sugar levels /(hb1ac:7.8) High blood pressure Joint pains Skin tags / dark neck Sleeping problem Anxiety/highly irritated Fatigue

I was diagnosed and told “you should get on birth control to get your period every month”. That was it. No diet guide. No further information 🤦🏻‍♀️

Definitely about cried after watching this! I felt so alone because no matter who I would tell my symptoms to and how I felt, it was pushed off.

Type 2 here. You explained my cravings beautifully. Its not lack of willpower, it is a direct result of insulin resistance. Thank you!

Wow! I could literally cry right now. This was the best explanation of pcos that I’ve ever seen. The biggest Aha moment was the different types of pcos. I was diagnosed years ago as a teen *cue 7 years of different birth control horror stories* In my 20’s I stopped taking it and managed to lose weight by (over) working out, but my period regulated somewhat. Then I had my daughter naturally and thought pcos was behind me. She’s 7 now and I have been struggling with pcos symptoms for the last 4 years. It’s so clear to me now that the pre pregnancy pcos type i had is not the same as my current pcos type/symptoms. Literally eye opening. Thank you!

THANK YOU for saying that with Adrenal Fatigue you need to give your body a break when it comes to diet. I have been diagnosed with PCOS for 15 years (HALF MY LIFE), and all that my doctors have said is "Cut calories, Low-Carb, here's metformin". I cried when you said you don't have to do all of that, so thank you.

It’s definitely 1 & 3 for me. My doctor didn’t think I had PCOS because I don’t miss periods, I don’t have cystic acne, no excessive hair growth, or hair loss.

You two have helped me a lot with my PCOS. I love all of the information, and different ways to get the information. I deal with most symptoms, but with your help it is getting better everyday!

Finding your page has been a game changer in my PCOS journey. Haven’t made any great accomplishments yet, but I’m hopeful I’ll get there.

I'm amazed! How easy you guys made it for us to understand. I've 3/4 types and the MAJOR one is the insulin resistance. Thank you for helping me understand what my type is and what should I do to correct it. ❤️

So glad I found your page. I got diagnosed 16 years ago and I haven’t been able to find answers or help until now. Thank you!!

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 2 years ago and when I came across your page it was such a relief. I just went DF/GF a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. Thank you for all your knowledge and support 🤞🏽

Gosh, I have all 4! This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on PCOS and broke things down so simply! Thank you!

This is the clearest explanation of PCOS & it’s symptoms that I have ever heard before, & it is literally so eye opening! I have been searching for something like this for so long, thank you so much!! I was diagnosed by an endocrinologist and was told that I have insulin resistance and that my thyroid and adrenal glands had normal levels, but I definitely identify with symptoms from types 1-3 the most. It’s good to know that it is all connected, though & that you can have combinations!!

I've seen so many people explain PCOS either tips but I've been super lost, some things have helped with some of my types but not all . Super happy to have found this!

New to the cysterhood! Thank you for making me feel like a new person with all the info that you share, I finally feel like someone understands what we go through.

Just diagnosed with pcos and the first thing my endocrinologist told me was too loose weight. I’ve been trying for what seems like months since I had major weight gain 😭😭 just found your page and looking forward to learn so much !!

Thank you so much for teaching me about PCOS. This time last year I had never heard of it. Now I've just been diagnosed by my GP and I'm actually excited to start my journey! You are amazing!

A huge thank you for all the advice and support given 🙏🏽

My absolute favorite video on pcos. So simple and explains so much in short form

Absolutely think every girl with PCOS needs to watch this, it’s so insightful and I definitely think think I have all those symptoms as well…

Wow! Definitely learned I have both inflammation and insulin resistance. I’m currently on my month trial for Gluten and Dairy free and loving it! Super thankful to you both for this wealth of knowledge. Love your page!

I absolutely have the first three. I finally got diagnosed with PCOS in 2020, but suspected I had it because my symptoms started when I was 11. I was so relieved my OB/GYN actually took the time to listen to me and run all of the blood work. I’ve finally decided I’m going to take better care of myself and stop running from this, and I’m so thankful I found your channel! Great work!!

I didn’t know I had PCOS a few months ago. Then I saw you Tiktok telling what the symptoms from each PCOS type. So I came here watching which I have. It’s looks I have 3 types of PCOS. Insuline resistance, Adrenal Fatique and Inflammation. Thank you for this knowledge! I will begin my journey 😊

Omg this is the most HELPFUL video about pcos I watched soo many n I always end up still confused but this explains everything perfectly thank you!!!i have been struggling for 10 years n I have all the problem u mentioned

I have never felt more understood in my life... Thank you for this video

I have multiple types for sure and all that my doctor ever did was hand me a pill and say loose weight. Everything I did never helped me and eventually I gave up and got tired and sad. It’s been about a year that I follow you both and it has been such a life saver. I feel like I’m not alone and there is so much I can learn from you guys. Thank you so much ❤

Watching this channel is the first time I’ve come to understand what PCOD is and what I can do to treat it. Thank you.

I’ve heard Tallene say a million times to cut dairy and gluten but I’m still pretending I do not hear cuz I just don’t want to give up all that goodness 😩

I was diagnosed with PCOS 8 years ago (I was in high school) and I never received any help from my gynecologist throughout the years even if I had questions. It wasn’t until I found your IG account last month and noticed I had 3 types of the PCOS and have been struggling with it. Thanks to you I started taking things slowly by introducing more gluten free options into my diet and even ditched the HIIT workouts to slowed down ones. My bloating has definitely gone down and I don’t feel as fatigued like I usually do. I plan on getting ovasitol soon

I'm so glad I found your KZfaq through TikTok. I've literally been struggling and can't get help from anyone. I have been working with a dietician who specializes in diabetes but it's so hard to maintain those carb limits.

This channel is helping me more than any doctor dietitian or Personal trainer ever did. No one told me PCOS could do all of this. Wow education is really something

I am so happy to find this. Thank you for being the only person who seems to understand pcos and helping me understand it

If I could like this video a million times ? I would ! Thank you so much for all the golden info 😭🥰

Love your content. My partner has PCOS, and your videos have helped me to gain a better understanding of the condition and how to help my partner manage on a day to day basis.

Thanks for always breaking down things in a way we can understand. It helps me a lot when I address things with my doctors 🙌🏾

I greatly appreciate you doing this. I’ve never gotten answers for my irregular periods or mood issues. I’ve never been told to try a gluten and dairy free diet. I am 100% a combination but I think it’s like you said, my adrenal fatigue has been ignored so it’s causing other issues. I had a hormonal IUD for 5 years and I’ve been off of it now for about 6-ish months and I’ve never had such bad acne or mood swings. I absolutely have to get this under control.

This is so educational and informative I have never seen and I’m totally broken with pcos I’m really struggling to loose weight since 3 years got a plateau tried everything nothing gonna work let’s try this one too

Thank you for all the helpful information. Following you guys on KZfaq and Instagram has really helped with my weight loss journey with PCOS.

This is helpful! I was irregular, so my pediatrician had suggested that I had PCOS when I was about 15, but then nothing was done since we were already managing that symptom. I moved and then bounced around to a few other doctors and mentioned it, but it never elicited much response as other things (since I have a heart condition and overweight). Finally my current doctor was the one who had a reaction that made me take it seriously, since PCOS just seemed like a minor background thing in my life. I didn't realize how many things connected back to it and I'm still trying to get things under control, but I swear as soon as I turned 30 all my symptoms started changing and I feel like I've been playing catch up on how to take care of it.

Just stumbled across your page and I am so glad I did. I was diagnosed with PCOS nearly 15 years ago, but no doctor ever explained it like this! I have inflammation, insulin resistance and adrenal fatigue. I would definitely start with cutting out gluten and dairy for 30days and see how it goes and will get the ovasitol. Thank you so much for this information.

Recently diagnosed with pcos. Kinda have all of these symptoms time to time ! And managing the weight gain, food cravings becoming so hard day by day ! Use to be a fit and active person !

I love how you explain simply and calmly❤

Why does it feel like i fall in all 4 types 😢

Thank you so much for this video. Makes me feel so understood. All I get from doctors is birth control and exercise. Nothing about stress or other symptons.

My Daughter has just been diagnosed with this. I found your explanations very accessible and relatable . I’ll send it to her Thanks

This information is so helpful- love you guys! I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have your accounts to provide me information about PCOS. I have learned so many natural ways to help my PCOS symptoms from you.

This is extremely detailed and informative. Thank you so much!

Great explanation, I didn’t know I had it until I went to the doctor, he didn’t explain much, but it’s crazy how now I can understand and life just makes more sense… I will start making changes now!! He didn’t really prescribe me anything he just told me to buy some pills on Amazon that are to regulate hormones, some other thing and pre natal vitamins, I think I’ll go back to a dif doctor.

15 seconds in and I know I have all four. But watching the complete video made me realise new things and gave me hope. Thanks Tallene!!

so relatable! love learning about this on the Cysterhood ♥️

I’m experiencing all those symptoms! I’ve been having unresolved cramping pain, acne , hair loss & bloating for over 8 years. I always asked my OBGYN and I was left with unresolved problems. I recently found out I had PCOS & It all makes sense. Thank you guys for the tips! They have been helping my symptoms:)

Definitely all 4 of them. But I’m working my way through dealing with them and along with working with a Bio-Identical Hormone Specialist, my symptoms are slowly improving. There is hope. Going to try those CBD drops at night though and see if it helps with sleep. That ones still a huge challenge.

Thank you for educating us and helping us get the resources we need!

This was really helpful. Thank you. Now I have some more questions to ask my doctor.

Wow I’m glad I found this video, you’re such a good teacher❤❤

I’m guessing high stress removing periods might also be adaptive: if I’m under stress in the wild I definitely don’t have a secure enough environment to have a baby in and even having a period could increase the chances of dying in the short term.

I’m definitely insulin resistance! I listened to your seminar and i learned so much.

So so glad I came across this video and page on IG! This video makes so much more sense than anything I’ve ever been told by a ‘professional’ I’ve never felt like anyone understood truly what it means to have PCOS but this video the community it explains everything thank you guys for this amazing breakdown of what PCOS is 🥺the different types aswell! And for being so down to earth about it after feeling lost for so many years now feel like I’m getting the help I need ☺️

Oof, the struggle is real. I definitely have multiple PCOS types. Ovasitol has been a game changer and I can’t live without it ♥️ So grateful for your channel, has helped me so much over the years

This was a wonderful explanation! I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I think the thing that helped the most with unbearable cramps (when I did get my period) was an IUD(kyleena). I found out I had a orange sized fibroid and had it removed last year, it had been contributing to my month long cramps and spotting. But I recently moved into the inflammation type of pcos and may stop eating gluten and dairy.

Super helpful information! It has been mind changing since I discover tallene and sirak! My acne and weigh got way better and I got to learn about myself even more! Thanks!

This is such a great breakdown. Thank you!

Whenever I did keto a few years ago I had lost 40 pounds but the weight loss stopped and my hair was falling out. I had cut out all berries, stevia, dairy and even increased protein but my weight kept going up. Then I tried working out and I was just hungrier, dizzy, nauseous and I was still gaining weight. My health went down hill from there. It’s frustrating because even trying to go plant based(starch solution) I still couldn’t lose weight and my acne was still bad. Even carnivore didn’t work.

It's really sad that my doctor didn't even inform me that much. She told me to lose weight for treatment but didn't tell me how

I was recently diagnosed and my doctor didn’t explain any of this 😅 I feel like this video was made for me by how much I relate to this! It’s so nice to know theres a reason for what I’ve struggled with most of my life ❤

Hello, thank you so much for making this content. More people like you are needed in the world. I was so clueless before I started following you on instagram, however now I am completely informed.

This is such a helpful video! I have never heard of the crash after an intense workout attributed to PCOS. It has always made me feel so helpless- I’m working out to help deal with my weight with PCOS (since that’s always one of the first things people say you have to get a handle on to manage it) but then I’m dead for the rest of the day!! Thank you for this video!

I definitely have adrenal fatigue. Thank you for this video. I am really struggling with the insulin resistance and taking so much metformin. My period is no where to be found and my testostrone is through the roof.

Thank you for sharing what you have learned. It is super helpful.

This information is so helpful! Thank you!

I used to think its diabetes I have but everytime the test came out negative. Doctor never explained this insulin resistance to me. I was young 19 when diagnosed. Thank you so much love.

Good Day cyster 😊 I was diagnosed of having a PCOS a week ago 😔. I want to lose weight because I feel bloated, all the cravings and stress. I am 5 months delayed from mt Menstruation 😔😔 Hoping and praying for having a healthy lifestyle., that I can be serious and focus on not just loosing weight but having a healthy lifestyle. 🙏🙏

Thank you so much, this video was eye opening. I've always been trying to exercise more in the morning (and been sleeping less for it too) yet kept putting weight on. This explained a lot :)

So glad I found this account!!!

This is a great video! Seems like I have types 1, 2 and 3. I had been thinking of trying to reduce gluten and dairy for a while and this was confirmation I really should try it. Thank you! X

I was diagnosed with P COS 33 years ago. This was the best information I have ever heard or received. I had cystic acne And amenorrhea. I was on Clomid to get pregnant at that time . I no longer have any symptoms of P COS.. Thank you for all of your knowledge!!

Thank you for making my journey with pcos easier!

Perfect time to watch this video now as I just started my DF GF journey along with slow weighted work outs. I thought my type of PCOS is Insulin resistance but this video was very enlightening. I hope I can get my cycle back soon to start my ttc journey.

I quit my personal trainer last year bc I was working out almost daily and I just kept gaining weight! I didn't know it was PCOS and I was just depressed and my weight is now over 300lbs. I've always struggled with my weight and my lowest in adulthood was like 190 (and that was when I had a borderline ED). For everyone struggling, please keep your hopes up. It does get better. I see my weight lower as I'm trying these new methods.

I discovered this immediately when I tried HIIT (High intensity interval training) by extreme sleepiness and deflated plummeting energy that sent me to a doctor and was very scary.

Much Blessings to you, well I’m all 4. Believe I have both endometriosis and pcos. Love this video and God bless you!

Great video… informative and clear

So I have all 4 types...the only PCOS symptom I do not have is period irregularity. I have never skipped a period in my life, and seeing that I also suffer from excruciating endometriosis that was the one symptom I was hoping for. So all the gynaecologists I have ever consulted have always said lose weight and the symptoms will go away, but no one told me how to. So last year I decided that if they can't help me, I will just have to figure it out. Fast forward a year later and I am down 36kg's and 2 kg's away from a normal BMI. And as proud as I guess I should be that I managed to do that despite the odds, none of my symptoms have subsided or improved in the least. I am currently gluten free and dairy free so I don't understand. I can literally count my hair on my head, I can grow a beard that would shame most men, I have to cover acne with layers of makeup and even with the significant weight loss my abdomen is still carrying a significant amount of fat. In fact because I lost weight everywhere else, I think my stomach appears larger (and yes, I am going to punch anyone that asks me if I am pregnant). I just don't understand how a condition that is so prevalent in our society is so misunderstood and under researched. I don't think any healthcare professional I have seen knows exactly what it is, they just know how to diagnose it. And from reading comments on the thousands of videos I have watched trying to educate myself it seems I am part of a vast majority. Sorry just had to vent... Loved the video! ❤️

I didn't have any issues until I started depo provera. I was on it from 2007-2011 and gained 120lbs. I had trouble losing while on depo. I also have insulin resistance and estrogen dominance because of the depo. So many people think I'm absolutely crazy to believe depo caused it all. I started keto in October 2017 at 272.6 I'm 5'0 I started intermittent fasting January 1st 2020 at 222 and have been walking since starting keto I'm up to 10 miles a day 7 days a week. I sleep better since keto and I've lost all that depo weight. There's no hormonal issues with anyone else in my family. They all have 2 or more kids and none have taken any birth control including depo. I had my first cycle at 8 years old around the same time my parents divorced and my grandma passed away.

I swore I have been insulin Resistance this whole time, but questioning the rest. First Endocrinologist appointment today!! Wish me luck 🙏

Wow I think I’ve got the inflammation type! Great clear video!

I definitely have all of them! Do you have any other natural treatments for inflammation? I’ve gotten mine down, but still not where it needs to be. Also, any other tips for adrenal fatigue?

Brilliant-my daughter has very high cortisol levels. How do i bring them down? She does HIITT workouts three times a week, long walks twice a week, she has a big belly that doesn't budge! No wheat , gluten, has complex carbs and also intermittent fasting twice a week!

Thank you for this information. So helpful! :)

I have insulin resistant ,and really bad adrenaline fatigue and anxiety with panic attacks.😭 This has taken over my life and find it difficult to manage my daily tasks. I'm still learning about this condition due to Drs. Not being informative on how to manage it. Iv done some research but don't know where to start 😞. This video was extremely helpful ❤️.

I was diagnosed in my 20s with PCOS, and have lived with it for over a decade, but with a recent ultrasound it looks like I don't have any cysts anymore (which was the reason for my initial diagnosis). Be sure to check with your doctor regularly. If you are diagnosed with PCOS, take time and be considerate with your mind and body.

So this incurable chronic illness is basically just a blessing for us to stay healthy in order to not feel the symptoms. I feel unique ✨

Thank you for posting this video! I haven't found much info for lean women with pcos. Just like everyone else, my doctors just brushed me off after my diagnosis. I need a doctor who will help me.

This video is so informative. I took the quiz and have adrenal fatigue. Thank you so much for sharing this!
