If you have PCOS you should also be screened for a thyroid condition, whether you are trying to get pregnant or not! ⁠
⁠
Women with PCOS are much more likely to also have Hashimoto’s (autoimmune hypothyroidism) than women without. ⁠
⁠
Women with PCOS and Hashimoto’s have more severe insulin resistance, higher cholesterol levels, and more difficulty getting and staying pregnant. ⁠
⁠
Women with both conditions are also more likely to have fatigue, low mood and anxiety, experience weight gain, and have higher risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the future.⁠
⁠
Both of these conditions can be treated, even when they occur together. ⁠
⁠
Diet, lifestyle and appropriate supplementation can plan a significant role in your health care plan even if you require medications, but consistency is key! ⁠

The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS are s

The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS are strongly associated with insulin resistance. Because of this connection, women with PCOS are far more likely to develop diabetes in their lifetime than women without. ⁠
⁠
Some clues that you have insulin resistance:⁠
⁠
🌿Did you get diagnosed with gestational diabetes or need to take metformin to get pregnant?⁠
🌿Have you struggled with weight gain especially in your belly?⁠
🌿Have you been diagnosed with high blood pressure or high cholesterol?⁠
⁠
This risk doesn’t go away, it actually becomes more significant as you age. ⁠
⁠
At Health Over All, our goal for our patients with PCOS is to create a health plan that addresses her current symptoms but also reduces her risk of future health concerns. ⁠

A lot of information about PCOS is about what is on the surface…the acne, the hair growth, the missed periods, the weight gain. ⁠
⁠
But what about the things that are going on below the surface? ⁠
⁠
The hormonal imbalances that lead to the symptomatic concerns with PCOS create underlying health risks that can become more apparent with age. Treatments and lifestyle changes that are offered or withheld when these women are young can affect the trajectory of her health as she enters her 40’s and 50’s. In addition, if she is unaware of her risk then she may not seek assessment or a health plan when she is young. ⁠
⁠
Whatever your age or your health goals, your PCOS matters and you should be offered appropriate assessment and treatment options because risk doesn’t mean inevitability. ⁠
Head to our link in the bio to read about 4 of these underlying risks that affect women with PCOS as they age.⁠

You know your body better than anyone? ⁠ ⁠ But

You know your body better than anyone? ⁠
⁠
But how do you know if it is your hormones causing your symptoms?⁠
⁠
Well…do you have/experience any of the following:⁠
⁠
🌿Have to take ibuprophen for your period pain⁠
🌿Get migraines before your period ⁠
🌿Feel moody, weepy or irritable the week before your period⁠
🌿Experience breast tenderness before your period⁠
🌿Find that you are easily putting on weight, or it is IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight⁠
🌿Miss periods, have long cycles >35 days or have short cycles <21 days ⁠
🌿Have constant low energy⁠
🌿Experience adult acne ⁠
🌿Get hot flashes or night sweats even though you are having a regular period⁠
⁠
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you probably have something going on with your hormones. ⁠
Many of these symptoms are common. ⁠
⁠
But common does not mean normal.⁠

I love inositol for PCOS! ⁠
.⁠
BUT, if the cause of your symptoms looks like PCOS but isn’t PCOS the inositol won’t work as intended! ⁠
.⁠
This is why assessment and evaluation are key. Many women struggle with missed periods, fatigue, hair loss, mood changes, difficulty conceiving…but these symptoms can be associated with different conditions and can sometimes be present even if the blood work is “normal.” ⁠
.⁠
The key to reclaiming your health and feeling your best is appropriate assessment and the right treatment. ⁠
.⁠
With well woman assessments, we treat the woman! We set every woman up with the basics of good health and tailor it to them based on their thorough assessment. ⁠
.⁠
Let’s stop the guessing and start getting you better. ⁠
You deserve it. ⁠

"I look back, and I don’t know how I used to function like I did"⁠

The research has been clear for years: Stress has detrimental effects on your health. ⁠

🌿Headaches ⁠
🌿Hot flashes and night sweats ⁠
🌿PMS⁠
🌿Irregular periods⁠
🌿Fertility challenges⁠
🌿Low libido⁠
🌿Weight gain ⁠
⁠
The problem with stress is that, it is often easy to see that stress is contributing to declining health and wellbeing, but how do you fix that?⁠
⁠
You need actionable steps. You need support. You need accountability. You need community. ⁠

The women we work with are over-worked, over-scheduled and taking care of everyone but themselves.⁠
⁠
They have forgotten themselves, they are overwhelmed, they are lacking joy. ⁠
⁠
And they often feel like they are alone. Like she SHOULD be able to do it all. ⁠
⁠
But that's not the life we want for you. Taking care of everyone else often means you aren't taking care of yourself.⁠
⁠
But you are not alone. ⁠
⁠
Let us help you become the healthiest and happiest version of you.⁠

Take off your cape. Ask for help. We are here for you.⁠

Are you ready to make a significant change to your health?⁠
⁠
Have you been struggling with hormonal changes, weight gain and lack of motivation. ⁠
⁠
Does it seem like you are doing everything right but still not feeling your best?⁠
⁠
Maybe part of the problem lies in your exercise routine? ⁠
⁠
Exercise can directly affect your hormones. It can help to increase insulin sensitivity and boost your metabolism. It can help with period regularity and decreasing period pain. It can help to improve stress, anxiety and sleep. ⁠
⁠
Exercise isn’t the whole story, our bodies are complex. But it is part that should not be left out of your health plan. ⁠
⁠
At Health Over All, our programs provide you with the education and direction and support that you need to meet your short term and long term health goals. Contact us to book your free alignment call to hear more.⁠
