So, the doctor just told you that you have PCOS – Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS, simply put, is the result of having many cysts on both ovaries. Cysts are fairly common in most women and often go away on their own, without causing pain or discomfort. Often times, they go unnoticed. PCOS comes with a variety symptoms such as abnormal hair growth (upper lip, chin, neck, chest, breast), hair loss from scalp, obesity, difficulty losing weight, anxiety, abnormal and/or painful periods…

Because of the different combinations of any or all of the above mentioned symptoms, PCOS can be difficult to diagnosis. But, it is treatable. Success stories are most prevalent in women who take the initiative to make a few changes to their diet and lifestyle – especially if trying to conceive, which may be very difficult for a woman with PCOS if left untreated.

Please, call me today so we can discuss your symptoms. We can run a couple of tests to see where your testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels fall and in turn, come up with an appropriate action plan for you to follow. With the proper nutrition and appropriate activity level, we can get those hormones in balance. In the case of PCOS, your insulin can be very affected by your hormones and vice versa. It can be a nasty circle of weight gain, or relentless effort to lose without shedding a pound. Exercise isn’t the only factor here. We have to train your body on a molecular level first – get rid of the bad and leave room for the good. We’ll find balance – you’ll feel better, look better and if it’s your calling… create the possibility to conceive.
