Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects 1 in 10 women worldwide. It causes an imbalance in women’s sex hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (androgens), leading to the growth of ovarian cysts (benign masses). If left untreated, PCOS can lead to irregular periods or absent periods, weight gain, fertility problems, unwanted hair growth on our face and body, acne, alopecia (hair loss from the head), pregnancy complications, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.
Without proper management, PCOS can be a major life-changer. While it may be one of the most common reproductive disorders, it’s also one of the most poorly understood from a dietary management perspective. This is where we come in. We can help you find the right dietary and supplementary regimen and lifestyle strategies to manage your symptoms without the overwhelm.
