Do women with PCOS have a slower metabolism?

Hello everyone,

I am so excited to bring you Georgia Kohlhoff as deep dive into the metabolism of women with PCOS. Georgia has recently co-authored a research paper that was wanted to answer the burning question of:

Do women with PCOS have a slower metabolism?

Georgia is a Registered Nutritionist and Trainee Counsellor & Psychotherapist and works in fat loss and PCOS. You can find her here on Substack at Flourishing Health or on Instagram. For anyone interested in the paper itself, you can find the abstract here. It’s still going through peer review, but should be fully out soon.

This episode is available on Apple and Spotify. If you prefer reading, I have summarised the conversation down below.

In this conversation we go through:

* Why was answering this question important to you?

* What was the methodology of this research paper?

* If metabolism is not to blame, what makes it challenging for women with PCOS to lose weight?
