Acanthosis Nigricans is a skin condition characterized by dark, thickened, velvety patches, usually found in body folds such as the neck, armpits, or groin. It is not a disease itself but a sign of an underlying problem. The most common cause is insulin resistance, where the body produces high levels of insulin that stimulate skin cell growth.

Hormonal disorders
Conditions that affect hormones—such as thyroid problems or PCOS—can trigger AN due to imbalances in the body.

Medications or underlying disease
Certain drugs (like steroids or hormonal treatments) can cause AN.

Did you know that Vitamin D and ferritin have a positive, interconnected relationship, where low levels of vitamin D are frequently associated with low iron storage (ferritin) and anemia.

Vitamin D helps regulate iron metabolism by suppressing hepcidin, a hormone that inhibits iron absorption, while Vitamin D deficiency is linked to reduced iron stores and increased inflammation.

This is why I believe PCOS is not just a metabolic or reproductive issue but also very much affected by your psychological health and nervous system health.

Also keep in mind that not all PCOS is triggered by trauma so if this doesn’t relate to you then this post isn’t for you.

If you have cysts on your ovaries you need to know this !

SHBG = s*x hormone binding globulin
Androgens = Male hormones like testosterone
Insulin = produced by your pancreas in response to eating carbs above your tolerance level and stress

LH FSH ratio needs to be around 1 for proper ovulation.

Hair loss, facial hair growth, missed period, acne = symptoms of elevated androgens

BALANCING YOUR BLOOD SUGARS should be your #1 priority when trying to manage your PCOS symptoms.

If our blood sugars is constantly spiking it causes our pancreas to produce insulin. Excessive insulin production can trigger your ovaries to produce androgens which then manifest into “missed periods” or “ hair loss “ or “ hair growth on your face and body” or all of the above.

Every meal or snack you eat is an opportunity to balance your hormones.

In PCOS, it’s not just about the number on the scale. it’s about where fat is stored.

Visceral fat (deep belly fat around your organs) is metabolically active and can affect insulin, hormones, and liver health. The good news? With the right combination of nutrition, strength training, stress management, and sleep, you can support your liver, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce visceral fat — without extreme dieting.

💡 Small, consistent changes make a big difference. Your body isn’t failing you — it’s responding to signals. Change the signals, change the outcome.
