had someone recently comment on my youtube channel  um they wanted to know why am i getting pcos i’m  

not even 18 years old so i wanted to create this  quick video on pcos just to explain the simplicity  

of it so you really understand it polycystic  ovarian syndrome poly means many and then we have  

the word cyst okay many cysts but in reality it’s  not true it’s not really cyst it’s follicles but  

i’m not going to get into that but for right now  just understand that there’s these little bumps  

growing and there’s many of them on the ovary okay  so we have polycystic ovarian and then syndrome  

now a syndrome is not necessarily a disease it’s  suggestive of a disease but it’s a disorder having  

more than one symptom that  suggests a disease okay so  

all right what are the symptoms infrequent or  prolonged menstrual cycle excess male hormones  

as in androgens infertility excessive hair  growth throughout your body thinning of the  

hair on your head acne and insulin resistance  now if you look up this condition on wikipedia  

it will give you a lot of general information  that that is not very helpful uh they’ll talk  

about the cause being genetic they’ll talk  about the cause being potentially environmental  

also they will tell you that pcos has no cure but  it can be treated with metformin anytime you’re  

trying to figure out some mysterious medical  condition um realize that there’s usually one key  

factor that you need to know to figure it out  there’s one piece of information that explains  

everything and that is rarely if ever found in  wikipedia or the first page or second page or  

third page on google when you do searches and  so one thing that i’m really interested in is  

doing videos on that key piece of information so  you can figure everything out with pcos the key  

piece of information is this high androgens  can be caused by high levels of insulin okay  

that’s what you need to know in other words every  single one of these symptoms right here is coming  

from high androgens because you have high levels  of insulin now what’s interesting is that they  

rarely ever check insulin levels they’ll check  your blood sugar levels now you cannot determine  

what’s happening with insulin by checking your  blood sugars because you could have normal blood  

sugars yet have high levels of insulin because  the insulin resistance will buffer some of that  

blood sugar response until a certain point where  it can’t buffer it and then it can’t compensate  

and you become a pre-diabetic and a diabetic but  for right now all you need to know is that your  

high androgens are coming from the high levels  of insulin that’s why they treated with metformin  

because metformin treats insulin resistance which  will help regulate your insulin levels and help  

normalize them okay but what’s behind high levels  of insulin well if you’re new to my channel i  

every almost every single video i have is related  to that one topic you need to do healthy keto and  

intermittent fasting is your primary eating plan  to help you regulate your insulin levels and then  

get your pcos reevaluated because you are probably  going to find that you have a lot less problems  

with this disorder why because you’re getting to  the root cause if you’re new to my channel and you  

want to know what to do i put a link down right  below of exactly what you should be eating hey
