Presenter: Ronda Nelson, PhD, MH
Join Dr. Ronda Nelson as she shares her perspectives and approaches on serving women suffering with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The cause of PCOS isn't well understood, but diet, hormone dysregulation, genetics, and environmental factors are certainly in the mix. Broad symptoms range from menstrual irregularity, ovarian cysts, excess hair growth, acne, low sex drive, insulin resistance, infertility and more (like that wasn't enough).
Conventional medical treatments include birth control pills to regularize periods, metformin to prevent diabetes, statins to control high cholesterol, hormones to increase fertility, and a variety of procedures including weight loss treatments and hair removal - but there are other natural and effective options.
