Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance, affecting around 20% of women of reproductive age. Main features include irregular periods, excess level of male hormones, enlarged ovaries containing many follicles, infertility, weight gain, hair loss from the head but excess bodily hair, acne and oily skin.
Insulin resistance seems to play a large role. This makes it difficult to regulate blood sugar levels. Inflammation is also present as the body tries to heal itself.
Natural remedies:
Diet rich in unrefined carbs, oily fish, vegetables and pulses
Avoid dairy, alcohol, caffeine, added sugar, saturated/trans fats
Eating little and often to regulate blood sugar
Combination supplement containing vitamins C, D, multi B, Zinc, Magnesium and Manganese
Probiotics
Chromium together with Biotin and cinnamon to balance sugar levels
Green tea to control male hormones and inflammation
Milk Thistle to improve liver function
Co Q10 to build energy from carbs
Diindolymethane (DIM) to help with oestrogen dominance, acne, and weight loss
My favourite is DIM @nutriadvancedltd
Extras: loosing weight, stress reduction, acupuncture, regulating sleep.. and enjoying life. These do work, have a go!
