Can you heal PCOS naturally?

I know it's hard to believe that PCOS can be healed naturally because all of the western medical literature says there's no cure, but we have options!

So what is PCOS?

POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that occurs when your ovaries create excess hormones (androgens) in unusually high levels. This causes your reproductive hormones like FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone), to become imbalanced because androgens suppress FSH.

See those sacs in the image above?

Each one could grow to 0.5cm-0.8cms and are full of fluid.

So instead of the follicles turning into one egg that gets released in your cycle, the small follicles become cysts (fluid-filled sacs with immature eggs) which may be visible on your ovaries on ultrasound if you go for testing.

This isn't normal, but it can be fixed naturally!

That being said, not everyone who gets diagnosed with PCOS has cysts.

Instead, PCOS is more often diagnosed by

👉 the dominance of estrogen, which happens when androgens are catalyzed (fancy science word for androgen turns into estrogen)

👉 signs of blood sugar irregularities because of Insulin resistance where the body doesn't understand the glucose it's ingested and in turn, the pancreas is asked to produce more because it sees a deficit, almost like a glitch in your programming. Excess Insulin produces androgens.🥴

👉 Evidence of the stress response. Stress produces cortisol, which fatigues the adrenals, and creates more insulin in the body.

Oof! It all ties in together doesn't it?

All of this messing about of our hormones means we can experience

- chin hair, excessive body hair
- weight gain especially around the womb space and abdomen
- moodiness, anxiety, depression
- fatigue
- irregular periods
- ovarian pain
- darker skin under breasts, thighs and under arms
- hair loss
- lack of period
- unexplained infertility
- other signs of chronic stress
- inability to lose weight

Why does it happen?!

STRESS!!!! This is the root cause, hands down.

So how can we treat it naturally?
