PCOS & PCOD Management
Clinical PCOS & PCOD Management Nutrition Services
PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) can seem like a lifetime struggle against your own body. General health advice is not enough if you are having trouble losing weight around your belly, irregular periods, severe acne, facial hair (hirsutism), or constant hair loss.
PCOS / PCOD is a complex metabolic and endocrine disorder, and we treat it as such in the clinical practice of Dietician Ms. Namisha. We see beyond the symptoms and work to address the hormone imbalances that may be causing them. We can help you stabilize your blood sugar, regulate your ovulation cycle, and take control of your health with customized medical nutrition therapy for PCOS without extreme restrictions.
The Science: Reversing Insulin Resistance and Chronic Inflammation
Insulin resistance is responsible for at least 70% of PCOS. As cells become less efficient in utilizing insulin, the pancreas increases insulin production. Increased insulin encourages the overproduction of androgens (male hormones) by the ovary, thus putting an end to the normal ovulation process and resulting in symptoms of PCOS. Low-grade chronic inflammation is a common perpetuating factor of this cycle.
We take a multi-faceted approach to PCOS management that utilizes three scientific strategies:
- Low Glycemic Load (GL) Menu Frameworks: Replacing simple carbohydrates with high fibre, complex carbohydrates. This helps to delay the absorption of glucose and reduces insulin levels from going up, thus avoiding fat accumulation.
- Anti-Inflammatory Whole Foods: Making use of functional foods that are rich in Omega-3 fats, polyphenols, and antioxidants that help reduce inflammation in the cells and promote healthy ovaries.
- Enhancing the Gut-Hormone Axis: Stimulating your gut flora using specific forms of fiber patterns to aid in the elimination of excess estrogen and circulating hormones’ exit the body.
Targeted PCOS & PCOD Pathways We Manage
Your clinical nutrition plan is designed around your unique body metrics, lifestyle, and bloodwork (LH to FSH ratio, fasting insulin, and lipid profile):
- Insulin Resistance & Weight Management for PCOS
People who are facing fast weight gain or weight loss and weight plateaus. We work on optimizing macronutrient ratios to increase insulin sensitivity, enhance fat burn, and eliminate stubborn belly fat.
