Finding the Root Cause
PCOS isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition, and that’s why lab testing matters. Instead of guessing, Functional Medicine uses targeted tests to uncover what’s driving your symptoms.

Common functional labs for PCOS include:
✔️ Hormone Panel – checks estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA
✔️ Insulin & Glucose Tests – screens for insulin resistance
✔️ Thyroid Panel – rules out underlying thyroid issues
✔️ Inflammatory Markers – CRP, gut health tests
✔️ Nutrient Levels – vitamin D, B12, magnesium, iron

Your results become the blueprint for a personalized PCOS plan, no cookie-cutter fixes, just care that’s built for you. 💛

Conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms—like giving birth control for irregular periods or medication for insulin resistance.

Functional Medicine goes deeper.

We ask “Why is this happening?” and look for the root cause through comprehensive lab testing, lifestyle review, and personalized nutrition.

Think of it this way:
💊 Conventional: “Let’s put a band-aid on it.”
🌱 Functional: “Let’s heal it from the inside out.”

With PCOS, your body needs more than symptom control; it needs a tailored plan to restore balance. 💛

🌸 September is PCOS Awareness Month

PCOS isn’t just about irregular periods.
It’s a hormonal condition that can affect your skin, hair, weight, fertility, and even your mood.

Common signs to watch out for:
✔️ Irregular or missed periods
✔️ Excess hair growth or hair thinning
✔️ Acne or oily skin
✔️ Unexplained weight changes
✔️ Difficulty getting pregnant

You’re not alone—and your symptoms are not “all in your head.”
With the right support and functional testing, we can uncover the root cause and create a plan that works for you. 💛

Starting your day right can make a big difference when you're managing gastroparesis or slow digestion.

Here’s a simple, gut-friendly morning flow:
✅ Warm lemon water – Hydrates and gently wakes up the gut
✅ Light stretching or a short walk – Supports motility
✅ Deep belly breathing – Activates the vagus nerve and calms your system
✅ Small, easy-to-digest breakfast – Think stewed fruit or blended smoothie
✅ Stay upright after eating – No slouching or lying down

💚 At Simon Teo Total Wellness, we believe healing starts with daily habits that support your body — gently and consistently.

🚫 Common Triggers That Worsen Gastroparesis (and What to Do Instead)
If you're living with gastroparesis, certain foods and habits can quietly make symptoms worse.

Here are common triggers to avoid:
❌ Large, heavy meals
❌ High-fat or fried foods
❌ High-fiber raw veggies
❌ Carbonated drinks
❌ Caffeine (can overstimulate or irritate the gut)
❌ Lying down right after eating

💡 Try this instead:
✅ Eat small, frequent meals
✅ Choose soft, cooked foods
✅ Sip fluids slowly (not with meals)
✅ Stay upright for 1–2 hours after eating

We help you identify your triggers and create a plan that works with your gut, not against it. 💚

It sounds simple, but chewing is one of the most powerful tools for digestion, especially if you’re dealing with gastroparesis.

Here’s why it matters:
✅ Chewing breaks food down before it hits your stomach
✅ It signals your gut to release digestive enzymes
✅ Slower eating = less bloating, less nausea, and better motility
🔁 Not chewing enough = more work for your stomach (which already empties slowly).

💡 Tip: Aim for 20–30 chews per bite. Put your fork down between bites and eat in a calm setting.
Small habits lead to big digestive wins. 💚

Dealing with bloating, nausea, or that “heavy” feeling after meals?
Certain herbs can naturally support digestion and gut motility, especially for those with gastroparesis.

Here are a few functional medicine favorites:
✅ Ginger – Stimulates motility and relieves nausea
✅ Peppermint – Calms the gut and reduces cramping
✅ Chamomile – Soothes the nervous system and supports digestion
✅ Slippery Elm – Coats and protects the stomach lining
✅ Iberogast – A clinically studied herbal blend for motility and gut comfort

🌱 Not all herbs work for everyone — that’s why we personalize your plan at Simon Teo Total Wellness based on symptoms and testing.

💚 Nature has tools. We help you use them wisely.

Your vagus nerve is like a communication highway between your brain and gut, and when it's not working well, digestion slows down.

For those with gastroparesis or sluggish digestion, gently stimulating the vagus nerve can help wake up gut motility. 🙌

💡 Try these simple, science-backed techniques:
✅ Deep belly breathing (5–10 mins daily)
✅ Humming or singing
✅ Gargling with water
✅ Cold exposure (splashing cold water on your face)
✅ Gentle yoga or meditation

Combine nervous system support with functional medicine to help reset your gut from the inside out. 💚

Still dealing with bloating, nausea, or slow digestion, and no real answers?

That’s where functional medicine changes the game.

Instead of just managing symptoms, we ask:
🔍 Why is your digestion off in the first place?
💚 Chronic doesn’t have to mean permanent. There is a better way.
