Ever wondered if the stress from narcissistic abuse could be affecting your physical health? In this episode, Danish Bashir tackles a fascinating yet concerning topic: the link between narcissistic abuse and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women. Drawing from a recent study, Danish explains how emotional abuse, particularly during childhood, can increase the likelihood of developing PCOS by five times. He delves into the biochemical havoc that constant stress wreaks on the body, from hormonal imbalances to metabolic disruptions.
Danish breaks down the science behind it all, focusing on the HPA axis—the connection between your central nervous system and endocrine glands. When stress hormones like cortisol flood your system 24/7, your body is tricked into a constant state of survival. This ongoing stress disrupts hormonal balance, affecting everything from insulin to estrogen levels, and ultimately leads to conditions like PCOS.
Women with PCOS often struggle with weight gain, skin issues, and insulin resistance, which Danish attributes to the body's reaction to prolonged stress. But don't lose hope! Danish offers practical advice for managing these symptoms by addressing the root cause: trauma. He encourages radical self-acceptance and self-compassion as the first steps toward healing. By soothing your nervous system and creating a safe environment—both internally and externally—you can help restore hormonal balance and improve your overall health.
So, if you're grappling with PCOS or suspect that past trauma might be affecting your health, this episode is a must-listen. Danish's empathetic approach and actionable advice make it clear that healing is possible. Why not take the first step toward understanding and managing your condition by tuning in?
