Polycystic Ovarian Syn..

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Functional Medicine is a great approach to polycystic ovarian syndrome, because the syndrome in itself is poorly understood, and women present with different types and symptoms. It’s “syndromes” such as this that often respond well to a Functional approach.

What is different about a Functional Medicine approach? Instead of trying to control symptoms with pharmaceuticals, we perform a differential diagnosis for each woman. This means we identify your type of PCOS.

Then we assess and treat underlying causes and imbalances that contribute to the expression of your PCOS. Yes, there may be genetics in play. However; even with genetics there are always things we can do to influence the course of this syndrome.

Lastly, patient education is essential. Knowledge of the risk factors is important! Most PCOS women who come to see me don’t know they have it. Often their concerns are getting pregnant, losing weight, stopping hair loss, or getting rid of acne. It’s my job to look at the bigger picture of your future health risks, and educate you about how to reduce these risks.
