PCOS
Treating the cause, not just the symptoms
Irregular cycles, stubborn weight, acne, or trouble getting pregnant, and a prescription that quiets the symptoms without fixing them. PCOS is one of the most common hormone imbalances, and finding solutions can lower your chance of chronic illnesses across your lifespan.
Does this sound familiar?
PCOS is a group of symptoms, and every woman experiences it differently. These are the most common.
- Irregular or absent periods
- Cystic acne
- Unwanted hair on your face, chest, or abdomen
- Weight that settles around your waistline
- Trouble getting pregnant
- High testosterone or polycystic ovaries on an ultrasound
- Insulin resistance, or being told you are prediabetic
- Offered birth control or metformin, and nothing else
What is actually happening
PCOS affects somewhere between 5 and 15 percent of women. It shows up as higher testosterone, irregular cycles, or polycystic ovaries on ultrasound, and often as insulin resistance, which is why weight tends to gather around the middle. Without regular ovulation, periods go missing and pregnancy can be harder. Left untreated, PCOS raises the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
The standard answer is birth control pills and metformin. Both can quiet symptoms, and neither restores the hormonal balance underneath. Genetics can predispose you to PCOS, but there are plenty of lifestyle and nutrient keys to unlock hormonal and metabolic health, and that is our focus.
