I have a question about the episode and the clip: We have three wonderful daughters (ages 33, 31, and 24) who all suffer from PCOS, and it is breaking my heart. They have all experienced severe cystic acne that has resisted most efforts suggested by Dermatologists, General Practitioners, and Homeopathic Doctors. Our oldest has such a severe case that she may require plastic surgery someday. The other two have also lost quite a bit of their hair in the past because of this condition. We hold so much regard for you and your amazing podcast and the wealth of information you provide! We are wondering if you know where we can turn for advice on this condition. Are there any doctors or practices in the U.S. that are on the cutting edge of knowledge regarding the symptoms of PCOS?
