Why the 'Just Lose Weight' Advice for PCOS is Racist and Misogynistic
PCOS and Prosecco - A podcast by Tianna Trinidad @ Love Served Warm

Ever had a doctor tell you to “just lose weight” to fix your PCOS? Yeah, me too. And if that advice made you feel frustrated, dismissed, or like nothing would ever work, you need to hear this episode.
We’re diving into why the “just lose weight” advice is not only lazy and outdated but also racist and misogynistic—especially for Black women and women of color.
✨ Here’s What We’re Covering:
- 💥 Why focusing only on weight loss is a dead-end for managing PCOS symptoms.
- 🚨 How bias in healthcare makes it harder for women of color to get the right treatment.
- 🎯 The real reasons behind your PCOS symptoms—from hormonal imbalances to insulin resistance and inflammation.
- 💡 What real PCOS treatment should look like (hint: it’s not about shrinking yourself).
- 💪 How to speak up at the doctor’s office, set boundaries, and make sure you get the care you deserve.
If you’ve ever felt like your body is broken or that you need to change yourself just to get basic healthcare, this episode is for you.
