    📌 Final Summary

    In this episode, Tammilynn Edwards shares her decades-long journey with PCOS—from early diagnosis and medical dismissal to ultimately reconnecting with her body and reclaiming her sense of self. The conversation goes beyond symptoms to explore how hormones, experiences, and the nervous system shape a woman’s relationship with her body, intuition, and intimacy. Together, Lindsie and Tamilynn deliver a powerful message: you are not broken—what’s been missing is understanding, and when that understanding begins, everything can shift.

GLP-1s can be incredibly helpful for the right person, in the right context, but lasting healing comes from addressing the root cause and supporting your body as a whole. ❤️ Final Message Your healing isn’t about finding the quick fix. It’s about finding what actually works for you. Get curious. Ask questions. Advocate for yourself. ⚠️ Podcast Disclaimer This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
