*Today's health Tips* Let’s talk about PCOS. But let’s go deeper. Let’s talk about your gut. Because most people treating PCOS are treating symptoms. Not root causes. You see those pills they give you? Metformin. Birth control. Spironolactone. They’re just bandages. Not healing. Here is what you need to know: PCOS is not just a hormonal issue. PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It's characterized by irregular or skipped periods, excess androgens (male hormones), and/or polycystic ovaries, which are enlarged with small cysts. *Here is a more detailed explanation:* Hormonal Imbalance: PCOS involves an imbalance in reproductive hormones, specifically an excess of androgens. *Ovarian Problems:* This imbalance can affect the ovaries, causing them to produce too many androgens and potentially leading to irregular or infrequent ovulation. *Cysts:* While not all women with PCOS have ovarian cysts, the term "polycystic" refers to the presence of multiple small, fluid-filled sacs (cysts) on the ovaries. *Symptoms:* PCOS can manifest with a variety of symptoms, including irregular or missed periods, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, weight gain, and difficulty getting pregnant. *Causes:* The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but it's believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Management: PCOS cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be managed with various treatments, including lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, fertility treatments. Further information It’s not just your ovaries. It’s a gut issue. A metabolic issue. An inflammation issue. Here is the full picture: ✅ Insulin resistance – You crave sugar. You can’t lose weight. You bloat. You gain around your belly. ✅ High androgens – Your voice deepens. Chin hair. Chest hair. Cystic acne. Hair loss. Yet they say, “It’s normal.” ✅ Chronic inflammation – Anxiety. Depression. Skin issues. Period pain. Your body is screaming, and no one is listening. Left untreated? PCOS can open the door to: – Type 2 Diabetes – Infertility – Estrogen-dominant cancers – Thyroid issues – Autoimmune conditions – Hormonal hell Now here’s what they don’t tell you: Your GUT controls all of this. The bacteria living in your intestines affect how you digest carbs, handle insulin, regulate estrogen, and fight inflammation. Your gut is not just about digestion. It is your second brain. It controls mood. Metabolism. Menstruation. And what’s wrecking it? – Antibiotics – Sugar – Milk – Seed oils – Soy – Ultra-processed foods – Even toxic makeup, creams, and perfumes You’re inflamed, overfed, undernourished, and your gut is leaking. LITERALLY. Leaky gut = hormonal confusion = PCOS storm. Healing PCOS starts from the gut. And no, this is not guesswork. We’ve helped dozens of women balance hormones, lose weight, regulate periods, and even get pregnant—by fixing their food, not stuffing them with drugs. Here’s the actual healing template: 🥩 Eat protein like your hormones depend on it. Because they do. 🥬 Prioritize gut-loving vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli. 🔥 Use healthy fats: butter, olive oil, animal fats. 🚫 Avoid: sugar, wheat, soy, margarine, and seed oils. 🥑 Eat real food. Organic where possible. ⏰ Eat 1–2 meals a day. Fasting helps reset insulin and inflammation. 🧘‍♀️ Walk. Breathe. Sleep. Say no to chronic stress and over-exercising. 🧴 And check your skin/hair products. They might be estrogenic toxins in disguise. You are not cursed. You are inflamed. You are not broken. You are biologically confused. And we can fix it. We are helping women reverse the therapy you ignored.
