Celebrating PCOS Awareness Month: Spreading Knowledge and Advocacy at PCOS Con

Celebrating PCOS Awareness Month: Spreading Knowledge and Advocacy at  PCOS Con



September is PCOS Awareness Month—a time dedicated to raising awareness about polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that affects millions of women worldwide and myself. As a nurse and advocate for women’s health, this month holds a special place in my heart. It's an opportunity to educate, empower, and encourage women to take control of their health. Our goal is to help you not feel alone, we want to bring a sense of community. 

This year, I had the pleasure of attending the PCOS Conference in Arlington, Virginia, where we came together to share the latest information, research, and resources on managing PCOS. It was a truly inspiring event that highlighted the importance of awareness, education, and support for women dealing with this condition. This marked our third time participating as a vendor, following previous conferences in Texas and California. Each experience has been unique and rewarding, and this year's event was no exception. We enjoyed outstanding food & conversation.

 The Importance of PCOS Awareness Month

PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders among women of reproductive age, affecting an estimated 1 in 10 women. Despite its prevalence, it often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, leaving many women without the support and treatment they need. PCOS Awareness Month aims to change that by shining a light on the symptoms, treatments, and the latest research surrounding this complex condition.

During September, organizations, healthcare providers, and advocates work together to spread the word about PCOS. From social media campaigns to community events and educational sessions, every effort counts in raising awareness and providing valuable information to those who need it most.

 Highlights from the PCOS Conference in Arlington, Virginia

The conference in Arlington was a remarkable gathering of healthcare professionals, researchers, advocates, and vendors—all united by a common goal: to improve the lives of women with PCOS. We had the honor of listening to some excellent speakers who discussed various aspects of PCOS, including symptoms, insulin resistance, and innovative approaches to management.

One of the key topics was the role of insulin resistance in PCOS. Many women with PCOS experience insulin resistance, which can contribute to weight gain, increased androgen levels, and difficulties with ovulation. The speakers provided valuable insights into how lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and supplements can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the impact of PCOS symptoms. If you struggle with insulin resistance, our formula was created with you in mind!


PolyC’s Commitment to PCOS Advocacy and Support

As a women-owned brand, PolyC's is passionate about advocating for women’s health and empowering women to make informed decisions about their bodies. Our participation in these conferences is more than just an opportunity to showcase our products; it's a chance to connect with women, hear their stories, and provide support in their journey toward better health.

PolyC’s Premium PCOS supplement was developed with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by women with PCOS. Our special formula combines cinnamon and Ovasitol to create a unique blend that targets some of the most common symptoms associated with PCOS. Cinnamon has been shown to help with blood sugar regulation, while Ovasitol, a combination of Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro Inositol, supports hormonal balance and insulin sensitivity. Together, these ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to managing PCOS naturally.

At the conference, we were able to speak directly with attendees about the benefits of our formula. Many women were excited to learn about a natural supplement that could potentially help them manage their symptoms without the side effects often associated with prescription medications. It was incredibly rewarding to see the positive response and to know that we are making a difference in the lives of so many women.

Previous Conferences in Texas and California

This year’s event in Arlington was our third conference as a vendor, and each experience has been a valuable learning opportunity. Our previous appearances in Texas and California allowed us to connect with diverse groups of women, each with their unique stories and experiences with PCOS.

In Texas, we encountered many women who were struggling with the emotional and physical toll of PCOS. They expressed frustration with the lack of information and support available to them. Our conversations there reinforced the importance of our mission—to not only provide effective products but also to be a source of reliable information and support.

California brought a different set of experiences. We met women who were already well-versed in managing their PCOS through diet and lifestyle changes but were looking for that extra boost to help with stubborn symptoms. They were particularly interested in our use of cinnamon and Ovasitol, which resonated with those seeking natural, research-backed solutions.

These conferences have been invaluable in helping us understand the needs of the PCOS community and refine our approach. Each interaction serves as a reminder of why we do what we do, and we are committed to continuing our journey of advocacy and education.



As we look forward to more conferences and opportunities to spread awareness about PCOS, we remain dedicated to our mission of helping women advocate for their health. PCOS Awareness Month is just the beginning—our commitment to supporting women with PCOS continues year-round.

We believe that every woman deserves to feel empowered and informed when it comes to her health. That’s why we will continue to participate in events, engage with the community, and provide resources that make a difference. Our goal is to reach as many women as possible, providing them with the tools they need to take control of their PCOS and live healthier, happier lives.

Why PCOS Awareness Matters

Raising awareness about PCOS is crucial because it helps to break down the stigma and misconceptions surrounding this condition. Many women with PCOS feel isolated or misunderstood, often struggling to get the support they need from healthcare providers, family, and friends. By increasing awareness, we can foster a more supportive environment where women feel comfortable seeking help and sharing their experiences.

Education is also a key component of PCOS awareness. Understanding the symptoms, risk factors, and available treatment options empowers women to make informed decisions about their health. It also encourages early diagnosis, which is critical for managing symptoms and preventing complications such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and infertility.

 How You Can Get Involved

PCOS Awareness Month is a collective effort, and there are many ways you can get involved:

1. **Educate Yourself and Others:** Learn about PCOS and share your knowledge with friends, family, and your community. The more people know about PCOS, the better equipped we are to support those affected by it.

2. **Participate in Events:** Look for local or virtual events during PCOS Awareness Month. Whether it's a conference, webinar, or social media campaign, your participation helps spread the word.

3. **Advocate for Yourself:** If you have PCOS, be your own advocate. Seek out healthcare providers who understand PCOS and can provide the support and treatment you need. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or seek a second opinion.

4. **Support PCOS Organizations:** Consider donating to or volunteering with organizations that support PCOS research, education, and advocacy. Every contribution helps make a difference!

 Conclusion

PCOS Awareness Month is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of women with PCOS. It’s a time to come together, share knowledge, and support one another in the journey toward better health. At PolyC's, we are proud to be a part of this movement, and we look forward to continuing our work in raising awareness, providing education, and supporting women every step of the way.

As we reflect on this year’s conference in Arlington and our previous experiences in Texas and California, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to connect with so many incredible women. We are inspired by your stories, your courage, and your commitment to taking control of your health. Together, we can continue to make a difference—one woman, one conversation, and one conference at a time.
