PCOS SOS Summit

<h6>Felice Gersh, MD</h6>
Welcome to this episode of the PCOS SOS Summit. I am your host, Dr. Felice Gersh. With me for this episode is a good friend of mine, Deanna Minich. I am so excited for this interview because she is so unique. She is a nutrition scientist. She is an author, educator, and lecturer. She has written multiple books and scientific articles over 50 and has authored many book chapters. She and I have often shared the stage. I have respected and admired her for so many years, and now I get to interview her on this incredibly important topic of the intersection of nutrition, and hormones and how it applies to women with PCOS. 

Welcome, Deanna. Please share a little bit about your journey into this incredible science of nutrition, and then we will talk about how all of this can be applied to women with PCOS.
