Holistic Approach to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

The triad of characteristics of PCOS includes anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. I’m going to breakdown these characteristics for you below.
How to naturally boost progesterone levels?
Progesterone is the hormone we all know and love. Progesterone is a sex hormone that is produced primarily in the ovaries. It helps thicken the uterine lining so a fertilized egg can implant in the uterus. In the first part of the menstrual cycle, the follicular phase, progesterone levels are low. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the release of an egg and after ovulation occurs progesterone levels begin to increase

Healing as Medicine
We all know what its like to go to see your doc for a hormonal issue and the solution given is a hormonal treatment no matter what the problem is, hot flashes, missing period, heavy period, acne, endometriosis, and PCOS. These all have the same treatment? Really?
