Could Your Symptoms Be PCOS? Hormones, Inflammation & the Oral Health Connection | Ep. 55
Could symptoms like irregular periods, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, hormonal acne, hair changes or even bleeding gums be connected? In this episode of High Vibe Moms Club , Shannon sits down with Certified Health Coach and dental hygienist Christine Horton , who has more than 20 years of clinical experience and serves as Programs & Advocacy Co-Director for the PCOS Awareness Association. After being diagnosed with PCOS as a teenager, Christine spent years navigating her own changing symptoms, infertility journey and eventually perimenopause... an experience that led her to become passionate about helping women better understand the connections happening throughout their bodies. Together, Shannon and Christine explore why PCOS is about so much more than fertility and how hormones, metabolism, inflammation, sleep, stress and oral health can all be part of a much bigger picture. They also talk about what to do when you know something feels off but your labs keep coming back “normal,” how to advocate for yourself with your healthcare providers, and why looking at sleep, nutrition, movement and other lifestyle factors can help you better understand the whole picture. If you've ever wondered “Why don't I feel like myself even though everything looks normal?” or you're simply trying to better understand the signals your body is sending you, this conversation will leave you feeling more informed and empowered to ask better questions about your health. ✨ Connect with Christine Instagram @ PMOS.PCOSGlowHygienist Connect with Shannon Instagram @shannongetzfit ⚠️ Disclaimer: The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.
