Have you been given Metformin to manage your PCOS? Have you been given Metformin to manage your PCOS? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re nodding yes, and you’ve curious to know the alternatives then keep reading. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BERBERINE the absolute queen of blood sugar balancing. It has been studied alongside Metformin and has been shown to be as effective as Metformin without all the side effects. I had a client that had an insulin of 69 and it got down to 16 in 3 months on Berberine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INOSITOL a close runner up. A lot of research behind this one. And is the one I use in pregnant woman as Berberine can’t be used ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CHROMIUM a beautiful supplement that has potent blood sugar balancing effects ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Couple these with dietary changes and you’ll be well on your way to supporting healthy blood sugar levels without Metformin.

Development of estrogen is a multi step process th Development of estrogen is a multi step process that happens in a certain order in the ovaries. ⁣ ⁣ ⚫️ Your brain sends the signal, LH, to your ovaries. ⁣ ⁣ ⚫️ LH binds to your Theca cells on the follicle in your ovary and you make androgens like testosterone and androstenedione.⁣ ⁣ ⚫️ Those androgens float next door 🛶 to the granulosa cells and under the brain signal hormone FSH, they magically turn into estrogen (estrone and estradiol) using the enzyme, aromatase.⁣ ⁣ ⚫️ Estrogen floats out into circulation. ⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 Brain health is important here for signalling. ⁣ 👉🏼 Cellular health of the ovaries is important for output. ⁣ 👉🏼 Androgens are also made in the adrenals.⁣ 👉🏼 They can become estrogen in peripheral tissue like adipose tissue using the aromatase enzyme. ⁣ ⁣ Endocrine disrupting chemicals that look like estrogen bind to and activate estrogen receptors causing estrogen symptoms. They're tricky and don’t show up on estrogen testing. At The Holland Clinic we have a special interest in womens' health and perimenopause.
