Diagnoses We Treat
Functional Medicine solutions for Polycystic ovary syndrome
Support hormone balance and address contributing factors with a personalized approach to PCOS care.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects over 116 million women of reproductive age worldwide, making it one of the most common endocrine disorders in women.
Understanding PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Characterized by hormonal imbalances that can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts, weight gain, and other symptoms, PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility. Yet despite its prevalence and impact, conventional treatment options often focus solely on managing symptoms and fail to address the underlying causes of disorder. In fact, most of these treatments rely on birth control pills to artificially regulate menstrual cycles, which not only perpetuates imbalance, but in some cases can worsen or even accelerate PCOS, masking or intensifying symptoms.
A Holistic Treatment
Functional Medicine for PCOS
Functional medicine is a holistic treatment philosophy that considers the medical, physical, neurological, and psychological aspects of an individual’s health, functional medicine focuses on treating the whole person rather than isolated diseases. After identifying the root cause of disease, a thorough treatment protocol is developed to help provide relief from existing symptoms without causing additional damage or side effects. By utilizing a combination of therapies and approaching healing from every possible avenue, functional medicine offers more tools to patients with PCOS and maximizes healing odds.
