HOLISTIC APPROACH TOWARDS PCOD
Functional Medicine Impact on PCOD
There are various types of PCOD, and here is the breakdown.
The first and the most classic one is called a Type A, and that is in the form of high androgens, including high testosterone, irregular periods or delayed ovulation & polycystic ovaries. And, that is the most common type of PCOS, which 60% of women experience.
Type B, also considered another common PCOS with high androgens, irregular periods, but normal ovaries. And, that’s about 8.4% of women experience that.
Type C and D, are less common
Type C will be having high androgens, irregular periods, but will have polycystic ovaries.
Type D, also called a non-classic polycystic ovaries has irregular periods, delayed ovulation, and polycystic ovaries, but will not have elevated testosterone levels.
So not everyone falls into the same bucket
Conventional Treatments
There are many conventional options but they can cause various side effects. The objective is to treat the symptoms and not the root cause. The side effects & long term effects harm the system eventually. We do not treat the condition but we treat the symptoms and help you manage your PCOD.
PCOD Diagnosis
In the earlier year, sex hormone imbalance was said to be the cause of PCOD, but we now know that this condition is caused by insulin resistance.
It’s important to understand how do we diagnose insulin resistance because unfortunately, a lot of women do not get properly diagnosed. It can happen with a combination of things.
Good News
PCOD can be completely treated naturally. The first step with PCOD is a reduction of inflammation. Inflammation is the biggest root cause of an issue with PCOD. Rebalancing your blood sugar levels is big, including reversing insulin resistance is going to be your next step. Reducing estrogen dominance which might include getting off birth control pills, is going to be your third part of the treatment plan.
