This week, The Dr. Ardis Show presents PCOS Awareness Month. Dr. Ardis explains how the Cleveland Clinic has renamed polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), a hormonal condition linked to irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain and infertility, while admitting its exact cause is unknown. He walks through the three most commonly prescribed treatments, metformin, letrozole and combined birth control pills, along with their published side effects. He then turns to research on Nigella sativa (black cumin seed oil) and its active compound thymoquinone, including clinical trials in women and adolescents showing more regular menstrual cycles, smaller ovarian volume, lower testosterone and luteinizing hormone, and better insulin resistance.

The episode then moves to magnesium, where 250mg a day improved quality of life, energy and emotional well-being in women with PCOS, and to a meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials showing that zinc, selenium, magnesium and chromium supplementation improved fasting blood sugar and insulin resistance. Dr. Ardis also covers research linking low zinc to PCOS, vitamin D studies showing restored menstrual cycles and pregnancies, and licorice root extract research showing lower testosterone and estrogen and healthier follicles.

This week, The Dr. Ardis Show presents a special episode: Raising Children Naturally in an Artificial World. Dr. Bryan Ardis is joined by Dr. Ed Group and Dr. Jana Schmidt to preview the 2026 Healing for the A.G.E.S. Virtual Fall Conference, taking place online October 9–10. The doctors explain how the body is designed to heal itself when stress and toxins are removed, using broken bones, fevers, and food poisoning as everyday examples. Dr. Schmidt explains why a fever is a healing sign rather than a symptom to switch off, and Dr. Group walks through the toxins children face from air, water, food, personal care products, mold, memory foam mattresses, sunscreen, EMFs, and the wrong kinds of light, as well as stress, bullying, and social media.

The conversation then turns to how the four A.G.E.S. doctors raised their own 11 children without pharmaceuticals. They cover homeschooling, morning meditation and family routines, travel as education, and the books they had their kids read, including The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, The Total Money Makeover, Outwitting the Devil, and Think and Grow Rich. Dr. Ardis tells the story of being reported for hugging his daughters in a school cafeteria, and closes by discussing the WHO's new definition of obesity and published research linking glyphosate exposure in women to obesity across four generations. On Friday, October 9, the doctors' adult children join a free evening conversation about growing up natural. Saturday, October 10, brings full sessions from Dr. Jana Schmidt, Dr. Ed Group, Dr. Henry Ealy, and Dr. Ardis, with live Q&A, replays, and downloadable presentations for registered attendees.
