Gabbi Garcia opens up about PCOS battle and body positivity journey

She shared that her journey with PCOS has significantly influenced her perspective, leading her to embrace body positivity in its most authentic form.

Garcia explained that her decision to start working out stemmed from a desire to feel strong and healthy, rather than to achieve a specific body type.

Her experience has taught her to be more compassionate towards her body, to heed its signals, and to value its capabilities.
