They received a lot of love and support at the time, and Gracie recently used social media to give everyone an update on her health..

“I just wanted to share really quick that I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). To get the correct diagnosis you would need 2 out of the 5 characteristics of PCOS and I had 3.”

In the post, Gracie continued, “During my appointment with my endocrinologist I realized that may had been a factor in my issues with weight, so we decided to try a medicine to regulate my body more normally and create the tools to continue to keep my body and myself healthy as I get older.”

Gracie did not hide any part of her condition, explaining, “I’m learning to navigate the new blemishes but I don’t think that I would have ever allowed myself to go to a doctors appointment like this unless I had taken the correct steps toward my mental health, because as much as physical health is important, mental goes hand and hand.”

The young McGraw has been applauded by fans online who appreciate her transparency about her condition.

PCOS is a very common hormone problem for women of childbearing age which can cause a woman to not ovulate and have high levels of androgens. On their ovaries, some people also have little cysts. In addition to irregular menstrual cycles, PCOS can also lead to excessive hair growth, acne, infertility, and weight gain.

”Sending love to those who are struggling with something similar or literally anything at all. Mental health is freaking hard !! It’s a long road but we can get through it,” the star added.

“I share my experience to hope my situation has reached someone who can relate. P.S The medicine I’m taking has given me a body I haven’t had in years (maybe ever?). It’s weird to navigate but I’m finding ways to love her.”

Fans reacted quickly to the young woman’s candor, applauding her and using adjectives like “brave” and “beautiful” to describe her.
