Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women and can cause irregular cycles, acne, weight fluctuations, and unwanted hair growth. These symptoms often feel overwhelming, leaving many searching for real answers and lasting relief. At Flora Naturopathics, we take a holistic, root-cause approach to PCOS treatment, helping you restore hormonal balance, regulate cycles, and feel like yourself again.

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:

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Insulin-Resistant PCOS

Insulin-resistant PCOS occurs when the body doesnโ€™t 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.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Adrenal PCOS

Adrenal PCOS results from elevated stress hormones like cortisol. Chronic stress triggers adrenal imbalance, which can lead to fatigue, anxiety, and mood changes. Managing stress, improving sleep, and supporting adrenal function help restore hormonal balance naturally.

What Causes PCOS?

PCOS does not have a single cause, but several interconnected factors influence it

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.

Symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

PCOS affects every woman differently, but recognizing common symptoms early is key to understanding the condition.

PCOS Treatment

At Flora Naturopathics, our PCOS treatments focus on natural, sustainable solutions that address the underlying causes of your symptoms. To create an effective plan, we start with an accurate diagnosis through advanced testing, which includes:

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 isnโ€™t 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.
