In This Article About PCOS Risk Factors of PCOS Signs & Symptoms of PCOS Different Approaches Healing to PCOS What You Can Do If You Think You Have PCOS About Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a type of endocrine condition that affects 10% of women and results in cysts forming on the ovaries[1]. It causes the body to produce much more androgens (a male sex hormone) in the body than it normally does, which is very little. It often affects those with infertility, acne, infrequent menstrual cycles, and excessive hair growth on the body. Unfortunately, PCOS also has been seen as a risk factor to other metabolic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.....I know, scary. Don't fret, I have helpful approaches below! But first you should know what may be causing it so you know what to avoid. When the word ‘diet’ comes to attention, it is often associated with fads, restriction, and monotony.

Americans are provided with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Guidelines to help direct healthy food choices.

Through the evolution of life, it has seemingly become more and more difficult to understand the best ways to take care of ourselves. From contradicting research to social media influencers, the public is being informed of the ‘do’s and don'ts', the ‘quick fix’, the ‘new findings’ of health, much of which is not backed by enough or legitimate studies. This abundance of misinformation makes it hard for us as the everyday person to fully understand how to apply healthy habits into our life, often causing more confusion than solution. A holistic lifestyle is one of the best ways to lead a healthy and happy life. This lifestyle consists of daily habits such as consuming whole foods, performing optimal exercise, and maintaining positive emotional and mental wellness. It is also the ability to listen to our individual bodies for the true insight of how we feel. To note, whole foods are ones that come from natural sources, often organic and unprocessed or unrefined. This way of living will lead to a long and sustainable healthy life.
