Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

PCOS

 a hormonal and metabolic imbalance that affects the whole body, not just the ovaries

We see your symptoms and can support your PCOS journey

  • Insulin Resistance

    Up to 70% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance, even if they’re not overweight. This can lead to:

    • Weight gain (especially around the belly)

    • Fatigue

    • Sugar cravings

    • Higher risk for type 2 diabetes

    Elevated androgens can cause:

    • Acne

    • Hirsutism (excess facial/body hair)

    • Hair thinning (scalp)

    • Oily skin

  • Cardiovascular Health

    • PCOS increases the risk of:

    • High cholesterol

    • High blood pressure

    • Atherosclerosis

    • Long-term heart disease

  • Reproductive Health

    Ovulation is infrequent or absent

    This leads to low progesterone levels

    • Without progesterone, estrogen is unopposed

    • Unopposed estrogen causes the endometrial lining to build up

    • Over time, this can lead to endometrial hyperplasia (thickened lining) and eventually cancer if untreated
