Taking Control of Your PCOS Naturally. Apex Health DPC evaluates the root cause of your symptoms, optimizes labs, and provides easy steps to reverse PCOS.
Demystifying PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common yet misunderstood hormonal disorders affecting women today. It’s estimated that up to 1 in 10 women of childbearing age has PCOS — and many don’t even know it.
At its core, PCOS is a hormone imbalance involving the ovaries, where they either don’t develop eggs properly or don’t release them during ovulation. But it’s not just a "reproductive" issue — PCOS impacts your metabolism, insulin sensitivity, weight, skin, mood, and long-term health risks.
Every woman’s presentation is unique. Some women are lean and still struggle with PCOS symptoms — so it’s not just about weight.
A major driver behind PCOS is insulin resistance.
When your cells stop responding properly to insulin, your pancreas pumps out even more. High insulin levels then trigger the ovaries to produce more androgens ("male" hormones like testosterone), which disrupts ovulation and leads to those frustrating symptoms like acne, hair growth, and irregular periods.
Inflammation is another player — chronic, low-grade inflammation can worsen insulin resistance and hormone dysfunction.
Lifestyle changes are powerful medicine for PCOS — and they work.
Food isn’t just fuel; it’s information for your cells.
Adopt a low-inflammatory, blood sugar-stabilizing diet:
The right kind of exercise can dramatically improve how your body uses insulin.
Aim for:
Chronic stress increases cortisol, which worsens insulin resistance and inflammation.
Incorporate:
Poor sleep disrupts glucose metabolism and worsens cravings and inflammation.
Target 7–9 hours per night, with a consistent sleep-wake schedule.
