Gabbi Garcia shares PCOS journey and body positivity advocacy

Kapuso actress Gabbi Garcia revealed her ongoing battle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), diagnosed in 2018, which has influenced her embrace of body positivity.

She shared that her decision to work out stemmed from a desire to feel strong and healthy, rather than to achieve a specific body type.

Garcia candidly discussed how PCOS affects her body, often resulting in weight gain, bloating, a 'moon face,' and the 'PCOS belly,' which are sometimes visible on screen.

Despite societal pressures, she prioritizes her health and well-being over conforming to conventional standards of being 'sexy'.

Her experience has taught her to be kinder to her body, listen to its signals, and appreciate its capabilities, acknowledging that she is still learning and showing up.
