Each week, INSIDE PCOS looks at headlines related to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS). The show welcomes guests ranging from PCOS researchers to experts in the PCOS lifestyle, and discusses issues of concern with women who have been diagnosed with PCOS.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a disorder that affects an estimated six to ten percent of women. Although PCOS is sorely underdiagnosed and its cause is unknown, it is a leading cause of infertility in women and is associated with insulin resistance and obesity.
As host, Kat Carney utilizes her background as a former medical journalist with CNN Headline News to build a bridge between the medical community and women with the disorder.
With its newsmagazine format, Inside PCOS is the first and only show of its kind. Its tagline, "Radio for me!" reflects both the show’s uniqueness and its appeal.
