Harnaam Kaur

When we hear polycystic ovary syndrome, we usually think of people who need to take hormones because they have problems in their ovaries, something we really cannot see. We must realize that it is a hormonal issue, and hence, it could also affect external appearance.

People have talked to their doctors and health insurance providers to make sure they manage their hormones well, but Harnaam Kaur decided to embrace it. Hers is a rather extreme case of PCOS because she had facial hair throughout her childhood and teens, which meant there was an excess of testosterone in her body. Later in life, she learned how to embrace it and is now a life coach and anti-bullying activist. She advocates self-care and gaining self-confidence.
