PCOS isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is testing.

If you have PCOS, symptoms alone don’t tell the full story.
Hormones, insulin, inflammation, lipids, and thyroid function all play a role in how PCOS shows up in your body.

These core tests help uncover what’s really driving your symptoms so decisions can be based on data, not guesswork.

✨ In PCOS, knowledge is power.
✨ Testing is the first step toward balance.

Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized testing and interpretation.

Weight Gain & Birth Control: What’s Really Happening?

Many women associate birth control pills with weight gain and while it’s not the same for everyone, the concern isn’t unfounded.

Hormonal contraceptives work by altering estrogen and progesterone levels to suppress ovulation. In some women, this hormonal shift can lead to:

• Increased water retention
• Changes in appetite regulation
• Altered insulin sensitivity
• Fat redistribution rather than true fat gain

It’s important to note:
Birth control doesn’t automatically cause fat gain, but it can influence the mechanisms that control hunger, metabolism, and fluid balance — especially in women with hormonal conditions like PCOS or insulin resistance.

Weight changes are highly individual and depend on:
• The type of contraceptive
• Hormonal dosage
• Baseline metabolic and hormonal health
• Lifestyle and nutritional factors

The key is not fear — it’s informed choice.

Understanding how your body responds to hormones allows for better decisions, better monitoring, and better long-term health outcomes.

✨ Hormones deserve strategy — not guesswork.

Always consult a healthcare professional when choosing or changing hormonal contraception.

PCOS & Supplements: More Isn’t Always Better

When it comes to PCOS, stacking supplements doesn’t equal better results.
In fact, over-supplementation can disrupt hormonal balance, increase oxidative stress, and reduce absorption efficiency.

PCOS is not about taking more
it’s about taking what your body actually needs, in the right form, dose, and timing.

✨ Targeted nutrients
✨ Evidence-based dosages
✨ Personalization over trends

True hormone support is strategic, not excessive.
Your body responds to precision — not overload.

Because with PCOS, smarter beats stronger.

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or combining supplements.

The annual gynecological check-up is not optional, it’s prevention.
It helps detect infections, hormonal imbalances, cervical changes, or other conditions early, when they are easier to treat. Even if you feel fine, many issues can be asymptomatic.

One visit a year = long-term peace of mind.

5 Reasons to Take Omega-3 If You Have PCOS
🇬🇧 🇷🇴
1. Reduces chronic inflammation
Omega-3 lowers inflammatory markers and supports metabolic balance.

2. Improves insulin sensitivity
Helps reduce insulin resistance, a core mechanism in PCOS, with direct effects on weight management and ovulation.

3. Lowers androgen levels
May help reduce free testosterone, improving acne, hirsutism, and irregular cycles.

4. Supports ovulation and menstrual regularity
Through anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects, it supports normal ovarian function.

5. Protects cardiovascular health
Women with PCOS have an increased cardiovascular risk; Omega-3 improves lipid profile and reduces long-term risk.
🇷🇴
1. Reduce inflamația cronică
PCOS este asociat cu inflamație de grad scăzut. Omega 3 scade markerii inflamatori și susține echilibrul metabolic.
2. Îmbunătățește sensibilitatea la insulină
Ajută la reducerea rezistenței la insulină, mecanism central în PCOS, cu impact direct asupra greutății și ovulației.
3. Scade nivelul androgenilor
Poate contribui la reducerea testosteronului liber, cu beneficii asupra acneei, hirsutismului și ciclurilor neregulate.
4. Susține ovulația și regularitatea menstruală
Prin efectele antiinflamatoare și metabolice, sprijină funcția ovariană normală.
5. Protejează sănătatea cardiovasculară
Femeile cu PCOS au risc cardiovascular crescut; Omega 3 îmbunătățește profilul lipidic și reduce riscul pe termen lung.
