She started getting acne in the seventh grade and didn't know what it was back then

Her PCOS made her androgens soar, so she faced having more hair growth, acne, oily skin and would put on weight easily

Sara would cry and ask her mother, Anjali Tendulkar for concealer and foundation to cover her acne, but all she got was a compact powder occassionally

Instagram/@saratendulkar [{ "selector": ".lwfoj-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 412px))", "opacity": "85%", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "85%", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".cogek-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".waqkj-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Sara's tantrums didn't yeild any results and her mother only stressed on the importance of sunscreen and moisturiser

Sara tried everything from acid peels to retinol to topical and oral antibiotics, until her mother stepped in

Instagram/@saratendulkar [{ "selector": ".qgplm-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 412px))", "opacity": "85%", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "85%", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".jgplz-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".llssk-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

A sonography showed multiple cysts in Sara's ovaries, so they consulted a nutritionist but she ended up feeling weak

Instagram/@saratendulkar [{ "selector": ".tsotw-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 412px))", "opacity": "85%", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "85%", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".bpzks-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".kmlqp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

An endocrinologist introduced her to intermittent fasting, weight training and progressive overload that helped

Balancing her protein intake while losing weight and gaining muscle was crucial, post which her hormones got balanced and she became PCOS free
