PCOS
"Most PCOS sufferers are prescribed the pill to help to manage their symptoms when they should be given the tools to help to identify and address the triggers of this common condition."
The Functional Nutritionist
I work to identify what isn’t working optimally inside your body, that is contributing to your PCOS symptoms. PCOS is an endocrine and metabolic disorder that is commonly linked to insulin resistance as both a symptom and driver of the condition, so I will assess this amongst other factors.
From identifying the root cause of your PCOS, I will design a personalized protocol to support you to make changes that are sustainable. Functional nutrition therapy for PCOS can, and does make a difference to the distressing symptoms of this condition.
We’ll work with the emotional aspects of the way PCOS affects you, as well as the physical.
Internal factors that can lead to PCOS include:
-
Insulin resistance
-
Stress/inflammation
-
Thyroid dysfunction
These can lead symptoms such as:
-
Weight gain
-
Acne
-
Excessive hair growth (Hirsutism)
-
Hair loss (scalp and eyebrows)
-
Irregular/absent menstruation
-
Infertility
-
Anxiety
Through following the tailored and targeted protocol, along with lifestyle changes, I will work with you to reduce, and possibly resolve your PCOS symptoms.
