PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Lifestyle Recommendations

Recommendations for dealing with PCOS.

1) Take a multi-supplement that is chelated (key-lated). (Chelation is the process of attaching amino acids to mineral molecules so that they survive the digestive process and actually benefit the body) and standardized.

2) Gentle endocrine support - We recommend a supplement especially formulated to address symptoms of hormonal imbalance to promote hormonal balance. Our supplement provides natural, gentle, and holistic relief for the three key hormones that fluctuate: estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone.

3) See a registered dietitian who understands and has counseled clients with PCOS. Learn about food options and portion sizes that support a healthy lifestyle.

4) Regular cardiovascular exercise of at least 30 minutes/day in addition to strength training. Meet with an exercise physiologist or personal trainer who can create a personalized exercise protocol to assist you in getting active and if need be, losing weight.

5) Natural progesterone cream- Supplementation of normal physiologic doses of natural progesterone cream that is formulated without mineral oil or petroleum should be the basis of PCOS treatment, along with attention to stress management.
