🌿 PCOS: Functional Medicine vs. Conventional Medicine
Conventional Approach:
Typically focuses on symptom management:
• Birth control to regulate cycles
• Metformin for insulin resistance
• Spironolactone for acne/hair growth
• Weight loss advice
These can help temporarily—but they don’t address the root cause.
Functional Approach:
Seeks to uncover why hormone imbalance exists by evaluating:
• Insulin resistance and blood sugar regulation
• Gut and liver detox pathways
• Chronic inflammation and nutrient deficiencies
• Cortisol and thyroid dysfunction
• Environmental toxin load
Treatment targets the underlying triggers:
✅ Personalized nutrition (anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic)
✅ Movement and stress regulation
✅ Micronutrient and hormone support
✅ Gut and detox optimization
✨ When you treat the root, your body can rebalance itself.
