Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is thought to be THE most common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. When it comes to PCOS, some of the major symptoms include:

✔️irregular cycles
✔️weight gain
✔️symptoms of high testosterone (ie. hair loss, excessive hair growth, and acne)
✔️fatigue

Hormonal imbalances can lead to difficulty with fertility, but with the support of your medical team a healthy pregnancy IS achievable.

📢 Who here takes myo-inositol? Did it help your cycles? What brands do you like?

Have you had your insulin checked? ⁠
⁠
Insulin is probably one of the most important hormones to be looking at when it comes to #PCOS. ⁠
⁠
⁠
High levels of insulin in the blood can lead to higher levels of testosterone in the ovaries. ⁠
⁠
⬇️⁠
⁠
Higher levels of testosterone in the ovaries can result in delayed ovulation or even no ovulation. This is when cycles become very long or non-existent. ⁠
⁠
⬇️⁠
⁠
When we don’t ovulate enough or at all, we don’t produce enough progesterone. ⁠
⁠
⬇️⁠
⁠
Less progesterone means less brain exposure to progesterone. This will impact the pituitary gland. ⁠
⁠
⬇️⁠
⁠
The brain makes LH known as luteinizing hormone in the pituitary gland. This hormone stimulates the ovaries to produce testosterone. Less exposure to progesterone will increase the pulsatility of LH. The more LH that is rapidly produced, the more testosterone we create in the ovaries and the problem just keep on going and going. ⁠
⁠
So the key here is to test insulin. Look for insulin resistance and to treat it using dietary and lifestyle changes. Check out my reels for more information on this and stay tuned for more posts! ⁠

It is #pcosawarenessmonth in September and I am here to spread the word about #pcos. ⁠
⁠
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects one in 10 women of reproductive age. It has been documented to be the most common endocrine disorder affecting women. ⁠
⁠
More awareness is needed when it comes to PCOS as patients are being diagnosed years and years after suffering from symptoms. ⁠
⁠
Common symptoms include: ⁠
- weight gain ⁠
- acne ⁠
- hair loss ⁠
- excessive hair growth ⁠
- anxiety ⁠
- depression ⁠
- insomnia ⁠
- irregular cycles ⁠
- infertility ⁠
- cysts on the ovaries ⁠
and more... ⁠
⁠
If you've ever had the slightest feeling that you may have PCOS, talk to your health care provider now - preferably someone who knows the intricacies of hormones. ⁠
⁠
Stay tuned this month as I share more information on PCOS. ⁠

🌐 It's #worldpcosday and I'm incredibly excited

🌐 It's #worldpcosday and I'm incredibly excited about all the events coming up this month! ⁠
⁠
PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome affects approximately 10-15% of reproductive women. ⁠
⁠
It is important that we spread the word and create awareness for the syndrome that affects so so many women! ⁠
⁠
PCOS awareness is incredibly important because PCOS can lead to increased risk of: ⁠
- cardiovascular disease ⁠
- type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance ⁠
- infertility ⁠
- mood disorders⁠
- and more!⁠
⁠
One important thing that awareness creates is the opportunity for these women to not feel like they are suffering alone. ⁠
⁠
So join me this month to spread the word and create a community of women who can get the support they need and deserve. ⁠
⁠
🍭And ps. Join me this month for my 5-day Sugar-free challenge. Link in my bio to join! ⁠
⁠
Also, check out @pcosaa for their conference this month! I will be on a panel for fertility and PCOS. ⁠
