Androgen excess is a hallmark of PCOS — affecting 60–80% of women.
Here’s the key: Insulin resistance fuels it.
High insulin signals the ovaries to produce more androgens.
So reducing insulin resistance can lower testosterone and improve symptoms.
How?
✔ Insulin sensitizers
✔ 5–10% weight loss
✔ Low glycemic index diet
✔ Regular exercise
Break insulin resistance → break the cycle.
