      To reverse PCOS, you need to reverse elevated sugar and insulin levels by:
      1) reducing chronic stress
      • search up tricks/hacks/methods and do them
      2) increasing sleep quality and length
      • search up tricks/hacks/methods and do them
      3) optimizing diet
      • Eat less than 20g total carbs per day
      • Focus on animal fat and protein instead
      • Supplement daily
      → 4 drops Lugol's 2% iodine in "shot" of water
      → 10,000 IU Vitamin D³/K² combo
      • Minimize caffeine intake
      The longer you stick to this protocol, the more PCOS symptoms will reverse (including the facial hair). Many people see complete PCOS reversal in about a year.
      If you are taking hormone-altering drugs, it will probably take longer to see results.
      I am happy to explain more or answer questions or address concerns.

      ch Dr Berg has vds on PCOS and how keto diet is a huge part for healing it. Fasting helps too ch Dr Mindy Pelz. Diet is a huge part in balancing your hormones which is the major issue for PCOS. This doc in the vds says that diet is not this is incorrect.

      It's the woman's fault if they have PCOS.
      That doesn't mean that women are bad or that they did it knowingly or on purpose.
      PCOS is mostly the result of chronic elevated blood sugar and insulin.
      Elevated blood sugar and insulin mostly come from diet.
      Carb = sugar.
      Eating carbs raises blood sugar.
      Raising blood sugar raises insulin.
      Esting carbs multiple times per day creates chronic elevated blood sugar and insulin.
      That's why PCOS is the fault of the woman → she chose to eat ehat she ate; nobody force-fed her.
      To reverse PCOS, you need to reverse elevated sugar and insulin levels by:
      1) reducing chronic stress
      • search up tricks/hacks/methods and do them
      2) increasing sleep quality and length
      • search up tricks/hacks/methods and do them
      3) optimizing diet

    Different doctors over my life have asked me if I'd been diagnosed with PCOS. But none have ever actually diagnosed me. Doctors, at least any I have encountered here in the US, are jokes to me. Glad you have been able to find answers, treatments and direction. ❤ It is a nightmare to deal with facial hair as a woman.

    Thanks Dr Emma...there are some of 'us' out here that could have had your help. So nice you can help others... I had PCOS too. Diagnosed in about 1970. I got no help, but luckily I did not have excess hair. But the other things were terrible. (acne, terrible or no periods, weight gain, etc.)🥰

      I was 17 and endocrinologist didn't do squat, just said hormone imbalance. Gyno at 37 said it was definitely PCOS and whrn he mentioned i'd likely get uterine or ovarian cancer he refused to do a preventative hysterectomy. The whole appointment and what he said/didn't listen to made my impression and trust in medical professionals nose dive even deeper. I refused to see any doctor fir seven years until Zika virus infection forced me to go nine years later (ete agd ear infection, flu, and rash). That doctor was even worse and missed that I could have picked up a tropical disease on my cruise to Caribbean in 2016.
      At 50 I had my hysterectomy and everything went. Ovaries had cysts in both and endometrial cancer stage 1a....that team of doctors were fabulous and non judgemental

      I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS after suffering decades of extremely heavy periods, obesity, and facial hair growth. I don’t think that PCOS was a “thing” back when mine started around 1970, or at least my doctor was not aware of it. So I suffered years of issues. I’m glad that nowadays it is becoming more recognized and women are able to get help.

    • @2degucitas

      The weight gain is brought on by the PCOS and hormone disruption. It's more logical and effective to treat it medically and not focus on weight.

    I don't have PCOS, but I was AFAB and it turned out I have a rare DSD that no one knew about until puberty hit and I went down a male puberty. Women with PCOS, you are still beautiful and feminine, even if you have a bit of facial hair or acne. PCOS does not make you any less of a woman. If you identify as a woman and you have PCOS, that's fine and there's nothing wrong with that. None of you look like the male I ended up turning into with my condition. Please love yourselves despite the problems PCOS can cause. PCOS isn't something to be ashamed of. Have a good day and have a good holiday season to whoever reads this. 🙂

    Get her medication! It is not okay to not shed your endometrium and can put you at greater risk for cancer. I had pcos from the moment I started menstruation too. Doctors brushed off me being amenorrheac for years because i wasn't sexually active. It wasn't till I put it into remission that I started to realize the neglect in care I had suffered.

    Glad the weight issue was touched on, Policystic Ovarian Syndrome makes it extra difficult to shed body fat while simultaneously causing you to more easily gain weight, the body just really wants to hang on to calories more than the average person, I have been fighting with my weight since I hit puberty at eleven years old, and I hate feeling judged for it when it's not entirely my fault.

  • @kerryb1653
    @kerryb1653 6 годин тому

    I was diagnosed 20 years ago when I couldn't conceive. I believe I had it when I was a teenager, about 15 or so years before this. I had hair on the sides of my face and was bullied awfully at school. I ended up having electrolysis, which was available before laser.
    It was super painful, a needle inserted into every hair and then a shock to kill the hair follicle. PCOS is horrible, I still wonder if I would have looked more feminine if I didn't have it as a teenager. I never had a normal period. And to top it off endometriosis. Still have it at 52. But I have two beautiful girls through medical intervention. Some doctors can be amazing, however I was dismissed at the start of my investigations as well.

  • @Knorkooli
    @Knorkooli 14 днів тому +3

    Excuse me, why do U.S. Doctors not take this approach? I understand that losing weight can help lessen some of the effects of PCOS, but to fault heavyset women and only tell them if they would lose weight, they would not have that issue... not only is that untrue [many average and thin women also have PCOS], but they also seem to want to give that as the ONLY reason someone has PCOS and that all of their issues would go away if they would just lose weight. Problem is PCOS in and of itself make weight loss very very hard.. if not... nearly impossible unless the person takes on very bad eating habit which is Purging or simple refusal to eat. Those too choices or similar are not ideal because these cause damage to the heart and other internal organs. It also will make the issues with hormones even worse. As a person who has dealt with being over-weight all of my life... and I also have that facial hair issue... but I was NEVER diagnosed with PCOS. I think I have always had it, just never was properly diagnosed. In any case, every doctor I have ever seen [except one] always faults any issue I have as my weight being the cause. I am sorry, but being thinner is not going to stop ear infections, not going to stop the flu, etc.... but most U.S. Doctors love to simply look at you, see you are fat and tell you your issue is because you are fat. If you would simply lose weight, you wouldn't have the issue. None of them offer any help other then send you to a nutritionist. This is way many people of weight stay over-weight because our issues and illnesses are deemed as our own fault, and we are not even tested or taken seriously. Being over-weight is not always the reason for the issue. There can and nearly almost always an underlying issue outside of that. Most U.S. Doctors will tell you to get laser hair treatments, but those are very costly... around $300 to $600 per treatment and no less then 10 to 12 treatments to great you at a point of it being manageable with an occasional treatment every couple of months. It is s life-long commitment. That's About $6,000 just for the first 12 treatments and 99% of health insurances do not cover that. Maybe all of us women need to go to the UK just to be treated properly.

    Thankfully my facial hair growth wasn't too bad. I still tweezed u wanted hairs every day or two. My hair grew very fast on my head, legs, and tropical forest in the unmentionable area....I shaved my legs every two days because it grew so fast.
    I was born with the genetic form of PCOS and had hirsutism, insulin resistance, and fat
    Weight loss is difficult at best. I LOOKED at a chocolate bar abd gained weight. Only in my 40s did I gradually lose weight over six years.
    Diabetes is almost a guarantee if you don't control insulin resistance. You'll want to see your gyno and see if your uterus lining is not header to hyperplasia, which leads to cancer....

    To reverse PCOS, you need to reverse elevated sugar and insulin levels by:
    1) reducing chronic stress
    • search up tricks/hacks/methods and do them
    2) increasing sleep quality and length
    • search up tricks/hacks/methods and do them
    3) optimizing diet
    • Eat less than 20g total carbs per day
    • Focus on animal fat and protein instead
    • Supplement daily
    → 4 drops Lugol's 2% iodine in "shot" of water
    → 10,000 IU Vitamin D³/K² combo
    • Minimize caffeine intake
    The longer you stick to this protocol, the more PCOS symptoms will reverse (including the facial hair). Many people see complete PCOS reversal in about a year.
    If you are taking hormone-altering drugs, it will probably take longer to see results.
    I am happy to explain more or answer questions or address concerns.

      1. Completing the undergraduate requirements set forth by your country.
      2. Complete the graduate level Medical School.
      3. Complete a residency program.
      4. Obtain license through your home state and country.
