And that's why a lot of doctors tell their patients, well, I checked your hormones and your testosterone is normal.

That's not one of the diagnostic criteria.

So if you're sitting at home, if you have irregular period, if you have a daughter who gets laser of, you know, constantly is lasering her face, she has acne, she's on spironolactone, she takes Accutane, these are criteria, she meets the criteria of PCOS.

PCOS patients have mood disorder.

If you listen to them, they struggle with anxiety, depression, they're moody people.

75% of them gain weight.

25% of them are very lean.

I see a lot of eating disorder or disordered eating in my PCOS patients.

I would literally tell you that 60, 70% of my PCOS patients have disordered eating.

You want to find PCOS patients?

Go knock on the doors of these eating disorder centers.

They're sitting behind those doors.

Undiagnosed.

And it's the leading cause of infertility.

So this is the big picture of PCOS.

So imagine these women who are walking around.

They're gaining weight.

They can't lose it.

They're anxious.

They can't get pregnant.
