ย
What Is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal imbalance that affects how the ovaries function. It involves changes in estrogen, progesterone, and androgens that can lead to irregular periods, acne, and fertility challenges. Despite its name, not everyone with PCOS has ovarian cysts.
There are two primary types of PCOS:

Insulin-Resistant PCOS
Insulin-resistant PCOS occurs when the body doesnโt respond well to insulin, leading to higher insulin and androgen levels. This can cause weight gain, irregular periods, and acne. Addressing insulin resistance through balanced nutrition, movement, and blood sugar support is key to long-term relief.

Adrenal PCOS
What Causes PCOS?
Hormonal imbalances
Such as elevated androgens, disrupt ovarian function and lead to irregular menstrual cycles.
Insulin resistance
Causing higher insulin levels that worsen symptoms and contribute to weight gain.
Genetics
As PCOS often runs in families, making it a hereditary condition.
Environmental factors
Like exposure to pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), can impact hormonal health over time.
Lifestyle
Diets high in sugar, not exercising, and chronic stress are key issues that can make symptoms worse and complicate treatment.
Prenatal hormonal exposure
During fetal development may increase the likelihood of developing PCOS later in life.

Hormone Testing
Blood and saliva tests help us evaluate levels of testosterone, cortisol, and other hormones to identify imbalances.
Nutrient Testing
We check for deficiencies in key nutrients like vitamin D and B vitamins, as they affect insulin sensitivity and overall health.
Comprehensive Assessment
Beyond standard lab work, we consider your symptoms, hormone metabolism, and lifestyle to create a full picture of your health.
Once we understand your unique needs, we develop a personalized treatment plan
Management and Long-Term Outlook
While PCOS isnโt curable, it can be managed effectively with the right care and lifestyle changes. Even small improvements in nutrition and activity can enhance insulin sensitivity, balance hormones, and ease symptoms. At Flora Naturopathics, we empower women to take control of their health through personalized, root-cause care.
