Bloat, breakouts, burnout?
Here are four evidence-supported tools that can help to support your hormones and PCOS symptoms naturally:
Spearmint tea 🫖
A study, women with PCOS drank 2 cups of spearmint tea daily for 30 days. The results? Lower testosterone levels and less facial hair.
Strength training 💪🏼
The science shows:
- Strength training helps lower insulin and testosterone levels
- It builds lean muscle, which helps balance blood sugar and metabolism
- It may also support ovulation and weight management
Stress management 🧘♀️
- Mindfulness meditation: One small study found it helped reduce testosterone levels and improve menstrual regularity in people with PCOS.
- Yoga: Regular practice may help with anxiety, depression, and hormone health.⁷
- Breathwork + journaling: These can help calm the nervous system and promote regular cycles.
Seed cycling 🔄
Research suggests flaxseed and other seeds help with more regular cycles and hormone balance
