Herbs for PCOS & Cycle Health

Social media has made it easier than ever to access health information and advice. However, the rise of PCOS influencers has also brought its own set of challenges. While many influencers aim to spread awareness about food and lifestyle, their recommendations can be harmful to your individual situation. It’s probably not a good idea to follow their advice blindly.

As user legallyfm points out, awareness is important, but it’s not enough. There needs to be more funding for scientific research. In the absence of conventional medicine, health influencers may overreach and promote unproven treatments, such as dairy or gluten-free diets, as the only solution. “To your point about spreading awareness, there is no denying that they have brought it into our general consciousness but there are still issues,” says legallyfm. “I think awareness is good, but it needs to reach the right people for there to be meaningful progress.”

This is not to say that all health influencers are dangerous or ill-informed. Many provide valuable information and inspiration for people looking to improve their health and wellbeing. Just remember to be critical and consult a professional before making major health changes.
