One of the most unfriendly words in my lexicon isn’t foe. It’s a four-letter acronym called PCOS. It relentlessly tugs at the workings of my body, making me question its power to recover. The tiff has been long but when it intensified in the last few months, I found hope in Crushing PCOS — a podcast hosted by Dr Minni Malhotra. 

The audio series stresses on real-life stories to encourage journeys towards recovery. The podcaster patiently explains concepts and guides listeners through topics such as hormone imbalance, dysbiosis, depression and hirsutism. Sometimes, pellets of information can calm you down.
