Summary: <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #7633b8;"><em>“The idea that we have to experience ourselves and be treated as if we are ill and wrong rather than individuals with our inherited physiology </em></span><span style="color: #7633b8;"><em>with some common experiences related to that is what I want to change our minds about.”</em></span></p> <p>Nancy Dunne is a pioneer in holistic handling of PCOS and was instrumental in my own healing journey. Her positive spin on PCOS, focusing on the <em>benefits</em> of being a high androgen, inherently insulin resistant woman are life changing. In her view, “<em>We are human beings with highly androgen influenced nervous systems and fundamentally feminine emotional hearts which is a very beautiful and very powerful combination of characteristics that should be developed and celebrated rather than suppressed and hidden.” </em>In short, women with PCOS must adopt a powerfully positive lifestyle and perspective in order to truly thrive. Listen in as we discuss:</p> <ul> <li>The positive aspects of PCOS</li> <li>The 2 steps you must take to alleviate your suffering</li> <li>The importance of spirituality in healing</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Nancy Dunne teaches high-androgen, inherently insulin resistant women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to maximize the many advantages we are born with & to minimize aspects that cause distress. In consultation, women living with PCOS are guided to learn behaviors that help create optimal well-being. As a postmenopausal woman with PCOS, having raised a peaceful, positive, thriving daughter who has PCOS & successfully treated hundreds of other women, she can assure us all that the rewards of naturopathically-informed self-care are profound & utterly reliable. She has served in a variety of volunteer leadership roles in the naturopathic medical profession with passion & gratitude. She earned her medical degree at National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1989 & a Master of Arts/Applied Behavioral Science from Bastyr University in 2002. Before that she was an obstetrical RN & a homebirth midwife. She is fascinated with aging & dying & what comes next!
