Key Facts About PCOS

🔬
What is PCOS?

A hormonal disorder where the ovaries produce excess androgens, disrupting ovulation and metabolism.

Insulin Resistance Link

Up to 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance — a key driver of symptoms and weight gain.

🌿
Lifestyle-Responsive

Diet, movement, and stress management can significantly reduce PCOS symptoms without medication.

The 4 Types of PCOS

PCOS is not one-size-fits-all. Knowing your type leads to better, more targeted management.

01
Insulin-Resistant PCOS

The most common type. High insulin triggers excess androgen production. Responds well to low-GI diet and exercise.

02
Inflammatory PCOS

Chronic inflammation drives androgen excess. Identified by elevated CRP, fatigue, and skin issues. Anti-inflammatory diet is key.

03
Post-Pill PCOS

Temporary PCOS that emerges after stopping hormonal birth control. Often resolves within 3–6 months with proper support.

04
Adrenal PCOS

Driven by stress and excess adrenal androgens (DHEAS). Normal insulin levels but abnormal stress response. Requires a different approach.
