Functional Medicine Pcos Treatment. I discovered functional medicine and how focusing on the root cause can be the most effective way to heal pcos as well as other hormonal issues women face today. Some women take the drug metformin to help with insulin resistance and to improve their likelihood of getting a regular menstrual cycle, but this drug can come with many side effects.

The goals for the treatment of pcos should be to decrease inflammation, correct insulin resistance, and balance the hormones to restore normal ovulation. I now specialize in helping women control pcos symptoms, hormonal issues, and other imbalances using a functional medicine and integrative approach. In addition to correcting any diet and lifestyle choices that are contributing to high insulin, the first thing that needs to be done with a person that has pcos is identifying the sources of stress.
