Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that primarily affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), and small cysts on the ovaries. PCOS not only poses fertility challenges but also increases the risk of developing various health conditions, including diabetes.
In addition to the physical symptoms, PCOS often brings about emotional and psychological struggles for many women. Body image concerns and disordered eating patterns are commonly observed.
Hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can make weight management difficult, leading to negative body perceptions and further impacting overall well-being. Nurturing a healthy relationship with food and the body is vital, and seeking treatment for disordered eating behaviors is crucial for holistic wellness.
Moreover, PCOS can influence gut health, giving rise to discomforting symptoms like bloating and constipation. Recognizing and addressing these digestive issues is essential for managing PCOS effectively and enhancing the overall quality of life.

Eating Disorders in Relation to Gender and Identity
Eating disorders are often perceived through a narrow lens—typically associated with young, white, cisgender women. However, this stereotype fails to capture the complex relationship between eating disorders and the multifaceted experiences of gender and identity. In reality, eating disorders affect individuals across the gender spectrum, and these experiences are deeply shaped by societal expectations, cultural narratives, and personal identity.
