Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is metabolic and hormonal. We address insulin resistance, inflammation, and androgen excess at its core rather than masking symptoms with birth control alone.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, abdominal weight gain, hair thinning, and difficulty conceiving.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, adrenal androgen excess, gut dysbiosis, and genetics.
Functional Evaluation
Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, full hormone panel (testosterone, DHEA-S, estrogen, progesterone), and inflammatory markers.
Treatment Approach
Blood sugar stabilization, inositol supplementation, anti-inflammatory nutrition, targeted hormone support, and gut optimization.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for severe pelvic pain, heavy uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of diabetes crisis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is insulin resistance the main driver of PCOS?
In many cases yes. Up to 70 percent of PCOS patients have insulin resistance, which drives androgen excess.
Can PCOS be managed without birth control?
Yes. Targeting insulin, inflammation, and nutrients can improve cycles and symptoms without hormonal contraceptives.
Does diet matter for PCOS?
Diet is one of the most powerful tools. Reducing refined carbs and emphasizing anti-inflammatory foods significantly improves symptoms.
