If you’re experiencing acne and your periods are arriving every 40 days or more, these are classic signs of polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of infertility.

Many women are told that if they have PCOS, IVF is their only path to motherhood. This is simply not true.

Research shows that lifestyle modifications are the first-line treatment for PCOS and can effectively restore fertility without the need for invasive procedures.

I’m just getting started on this topic. I hope you’ll follow along and enjoy!

Fatigue and The Final Days of Winter
This time of the year can often be the most challenging for energy.
With three long months of winter behind us, our “reserves” of summer sun may
have dwindled- if you’re feeling it, know that in just a few weeks we’ll be enjoying
the flower blossoms, the warmth of the sun on our skins, and more evening sun for after-dinner walks.

As for now, we can take time to rest, plan for the brighter days ahead, and take the opportunities to go outside, enjoy the gentle light, and witness the spring energy rising up in the budding of the trees and the chirping bird songs.

When they peak, when they come crashing down.

Did she not heart weep during the postpartum period when that nine-month hormonal flood was suddenly stopped?

Did she not evaluate her life differently during the week leading up to her period or in perimenopause?

Your fertility isn’t determined by your age.

💡However, your overall systemic health – from your thyroid health to your blood sugar levels – can influence your chances of conceiving.

💡This is where natural interventions shine. We cannot change the chronological age of an egg, but we can significantly impact the biological environment in which it matures.🫶

Fertility over 35 isn’t a lost cause. It’s an opportunity to be informed and empowered. Remember, fertility is much more than age. Factors like gut health, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and more all play important roles.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed in your efforts to conceive, consider working with a specialist who can create a personalized plan for you. I’ve helped women across the country optimize their chances of conceiving and feel more confident along the way.

How Stress Fuels Hormonal Chaos

Your stress response is governed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. When your brain perceives stress, whether it’s from a stressful job, a physical threat, or insulin resistance in PCOS, your adrenal glands produce cortisol in response.

Normally, this is an incredibly useful temporary response. But for many of us, the chronic stresses of modern life mean our cortisol level ✨stays elevated.

Women with PCOS are particularly sensitive to the disruptive effects of high cortisol. The reason behind this is that cortisol and DHEA(S) are interconnected.

As a naturopath specializing in hormone health, I help women all over the country identify the core drivers of their symptoms, whether it’s high androgens, insulin resistance, or HPA axis dysregulation, and build a personalized roadmap to healing.
