Conventional Treatment for PCOS Remains Controversial
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects over
116 million women of reproductive age worldwide, making it one of the most common endocrine disorders in women.
Functional Medicine Offers More Tools for PCOS
Understanding PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Characterized by hormonal imbalances that can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts, weight gain, and other symptoms, PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility. Yet despite its prevalence and impact, conventional treatment options often focus solely on managing symptoms and fail to address the underlying causes of disorder. In fact, most of these treatments rely on birth control pills to artificially regulate menstrual cycles, which not only perpetuates imbalance, but in some cases can worsen or even accelerate PCOS, masking or intensifying symptoms.

30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TREATING PCOS
You Deserve to Utilize EVERY Available Tool for Your Healing
Common knowledge tells us to approach even minor health complications, like colds and flus, on multiple fronts: get lots of rest (support your immune system), drink lots of fluids (detox), eat some soup and take some vitamin C (ensure proper nutrition).
In these cases, it’s second nature for us to do everything in our power to restore health — so why should we settle for pigeon-holed treatment when health complications are even more serious? You deserve comprehensive, sustainable healing. Our functional medicine approach has helped countless patients from all walks of life find just that.
