“The progression of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome during different life stages is not appreciated, or is poorly known, because we don't have so many studies with long-term follow up that have been done.” — Dr. Malhotra [0:00:34]

“There are new insights, or new studies which have shown there is a crosstalk between muscle, fat, brain, ovary tissue, and it supports that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is not just limited to the ovaries, or the uterus. It is a systemic syndrome. That means, it affects every organ in your body.” — Dr. Malhotra [0:10:50]
