Irregular cycles or absent periods, weight gain, acne & acial hair are just some of the more common symptoms of PCOS.

PCOS affects approximately 1 in 10 females with insulin resistance driving a hormonal imbalance in the majority of cases.

PCOS is just as much a metabolic disorder as it is an endocrine disorder, and has some long term health risks including an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, Gestational Diabetes & Cardiovascular disease...

The earlier you can get on top it, the better!!

One of the common frustrations I hear from my perimenopausal clients is a noticeable shift in metabolism.

Hormonal shifts are definitely part of the problem, but don't underestimate the importance of supporting a healthy gut microbiome- it does more than digest food!

Emerging research highlights the crucial role of the gut microbiome in regulating metabolic health ~

A diverse and balanced gut microbiome supports;

• healthy insulin sensitivity
• energy metabolism,
• controls inflammation

Dietary choices play a significant role in the health and diversity of your microbiome !!

A poor diet = a microbiome lacking in diversity and a tendency to inflammation 🔥

A few pearls of wisdom I shared with my clients this week

29/05/2025

With suspected hormonal imbalance, blood tests are often thought of as 'not helpful' due to the daily fluctuations in hormone levels, however a well timed blood test can give some great information to work with!

Most tests are routine and are often available through your GP, and when timed well are a great place to start if you are struggling with signs of hormonal imbalance.

Needing help interpreting hormonal blood tests? The 'normal' ranges given on your lab results may not reflect optimal levels so you may have been told, everything looks fine 😩

Naturopathic treatment of hormonal imbalances aims to address the underlying drivers of imbalance ~ nutrition, stress, sleep, environmental toxins, liver and gut health all impact on hormone levels.
