Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: PCOS and Deep Psych

Nat Jones RPh, our CorePsych compounding pharmacist, joins us again with this interview that takes us from estrogen dominance to the highly prevalent PCOS.

This often overlooked hormone dysregulation presents clinically in women from pre-adolescence to post menopause, throughout the life cycle. The psych implications are remarkable, and, if not identified, make the patient appear *resistant to treatment.* "She must be malingering."

At first PCOS looks like *just a hormone dysregulation,* but on careful review turns out to connect with multiple nutritional and metabolic issues, from thyroid, to adrenal, to carbohydrate addiction, to insulin resistance [check out this insulin resistance article from Hormone Research].

In this program we cover:

• PCOS and estrogen dominance
• PCOS and infertility
• PCOS and insulin resistance
• PCOS and adrenal insufficiency/fatigue
• PCOS and multiple "female symptoms"
• PCOS and menopause
• PCOS and high glycemic diets
• PCOS and testosterone
• PCOS and adolescent/young adult acne
• PCOS and depression, and ADD, and PMS

Remember, we can review these issues for you virtually, -it's just a matter of accurate hormone testing on the front end, -with clear identification of the multiple co-occurring problems at the outset. With PCOS the treatment is all about specifics and evidence, no speculation or *intuitive* guesswork.  The science is there. If you don't look you can't see.

If you have questions call JR to set up an appointment.

Fabulous podcast, I'm so happy to have found this site, it supports a lot of what I have come to find about treating my PCOS (in contrast to what my former OBGYN perscribed for me). So nice to see professionals looking deeply and seriously at the multiple components involved in hormonal and mental health.

Sorry to be so completely tardy getting back to you!

Thanks so much for your kind comments. I really look forward to becoming more active with this site when I can get my digital recorder understood. So many items to discuss, and I have some great people who look forward to interviews.

Thanks and stay tuned-
