Your PCOS TYPE?
Struggling with belly fat, cravings, or fatigue that won’t go away? Find out why in 60 seconds.
WHY KNOWING YOUR PCOS TYPE CHANGES EVERYTHING
Most women with PCOS spend years trying random diets and supplements…and getting nowhere. That’s because there are 4 different root causes of PCOS, and each one requires a completely different approach.
When you don’t know your type, you’re guessing. Cutting carbs when your real issue is inflammation. Doing intense workouts when your adrenals are burnt out. Taking supplements that don’t address your root cause.
And ignoring your root cause doesn’t just keep you stuck, it makes things worse. Untreated insulin resistance leads to more weight gain. Chronic inflammation builds. The symptoms you’re trying to outrun only get louder.
Once you know your type, you can finally target the actual problem…not just manage symptoms.

That’s why what works for one woman does nothing for another.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you have more than one PCOS type? Yes, many women have a combination. Identifying your dominant type helps you focus on what will move the needle most.
How do I treat my PCOS type? With the right nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes for YOUR type. After the quiz, you’ll get personalized next steps walking you through exactly how.
Is this quiz a medical diagnosis? No. This quiz helps you understand your symptoms and potential root causes, but it’s not a substitute for working with your doctor. For a definitive diagnosis, we recommend lab work and professional guidance.
What is Insulin Resistant PCOS? The most common type. Your body overproduces insulin, leading to stubborn belly fat, sugar cravings, and weight that won’t budge no matter how little you eat.
What is Adrenal PCOS? Your stress hormone cortisol is dysregulated, keeping your body in “survival mode.” This causes fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, and weight that clings to your midsection.
What is Inflammatory PCOS? Chronic inflammation triggers your body to hold onto water and fat. Common signs include bloating, joint pain, skin issues, and puffiness.
What is Thyroid PCOS? An underactive thyroid slows your metabolism, making weight loss extremely difficult. Other signs include fatigue, hair thinning, and brain fog.
