PCOS PART 3 As has become the norm in modern medicine, rather than focus on cause and prevention, we’ve resorted to simply treating #PCOS symptoms with medication 💊 The problem with this simplistic approach is that it only perpetuates the misconception that PCOS suffering is a life sentence - this is simply not true! Focusing on the symptoms instead of the cause is like putting a bandaid 🩹 on a bullet wound. Sure, it's a temporary solution, but it ignores the real issue. Cause 1: Insulin Resistance Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to sugar 🍰 in the bloodstream. Its purpose is to grab the sugar from our blood and shuttle it into our cells so that it can be burned for energy or stored as fat. High insulin has the potential to alter the very precise balance of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). 📈 Too much insulin causes the pituitary gland to release more LH in proportion to FSH. 📉 Too little FSH means that the follicles cannot mature adequately, and the dominant follicle is never formed. Instead, all that is produced is many immature follicles a.k.a cysts on your ovaries. Hence, PolyCYSTIC Ovary Syndrome! A significant number of women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which is the main cause for #hyperinsulinemia (excess levels ⚖️ of insulin circulating in the blood). Needless to say, getting ahold of your blood sugar is key no matter your genetics. Once you treat insulin dysregulation or insulin resistance through diet 🥦, lifestyle 🏃🏻♀️ + supplement 💊changes, your PCOS symptoms should diminish significantly or, in some cases, completely disappear. If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS or have PCOS-related symptoms, week two of my #FixYourPeriod program, “Step Off the Blood Sugar Roller Coaster,” outlined in my book (link in bio @nicolemjardim) will be critical for your recovery. . ⁉️Did you know insulin affects your sex hormones in this way⁉️ . . . . #PCOSAwarenessMonth #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #PCOSAwareness #periodhealth #womenshealth #reproductivehealth #PCOSSymptoms #PCOSLife #PCOSSupport #PCOSProblems #fixyourpcos
