2 Addressing PCOS and associated symptoms requires some specific considera8ons Sex hormones are certainly involved Blood sugar, insulin, and stress are big players GI inflamma8on, dysbiosis, toxins OxidaOve stress causes insulin resistance

3

4 Addressing PCOS It s just a lifestyle disorder caused by diet, stress, lack of movement and the Seesaw.

5

6 What s going to cause insulin resistance? Gene8c suscep8bility Excess processed carb/sugar consump8on PUFA Excess saturated fats Perturba8on in microbiome Inflamma8on (food allergy, infec8on, toxins) Nutrient deficiency Stress

7 Addressing PCOS

8

9 Diet: Minimise PUFA Modulate CHO intake fruit and veg, minimal starch Some clinicians use vegetarian, some use ketogenic/paleo Can explore metabolic type Gluten-free, possibly dairy free; soy free No pop/soda/fizzy drinks No alcohol IntermiZent fas8ng (13 hours between dinner and b fast) Relax, chew food properly Support diges8on with ACV / enzymes

10 Lifestyle: Sleep by 10:30pm Up at 6 to 6:30am Open the curtains and let the body know it s day 8me Ideally get out in the daylight in the morning Get the SCN and circadian rhythm op8mised Movement/exercise specific to fitness level Resistance exercise improves insulin sensi8vity Coach women to look acer #1 for a while

11 Lab Tes8ng: CBC/SMAC Insulin, HbA1c, glucose, lipids, liver, thyroid, RBC, WBC Consider adding estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA Are there GI issues? If so, test and address findings H. pylori DEFINITELY can cause insulin issues Consider running an oat OAT Consider 90-foods IgG In my opinion, you do NOT need to test hormones

12 Specific herbs and nutrients (blood sugar and insulin sensi8vity): Chromium: 200-1,000 mg Berberine: 500-1,500 mg (be careful; can use with cinnamon) BiZer melon: 250-1,000 mg Galega officinalis (Goat s Rue): mg Lipoic acid: 200 mg TID to 600 mg BID Benfo8amine (lipid soluble B1): mg

13 Specific herbs & nutrients (blood sugar and insulin sensi8vity): L-carnosine: 500-1,000 mg Ginseng (Korean and American) Magnesium 250-1,000 mg Vitamin D 2,000-5,000iu (check levels in serum) Other B-vitamins Inositol see next secoon

16 The problem with compounded supplements is that to increase the dose of one ingredient, you have to increase the dose of all the others which may not be suitable for everyone.

17 Inositol: B vitamin Has different isomers (myo and d-chiro) Myo inositol converts into d-chiro inositol Modulates insulin signaling extremely effec8ve

18 Addressing PCOS Inositol: 40:1 ra8o 90-day supply Works very well Easy and convenient 2 sachets per day hzp://journals.lww.com/ebjwh/ Abstract/2015/08000/ Inositol_versus_Meqormin_administ ra8on_in.2.aspx

20 Might want/need to reduce androgens. TestoQuench for women would be your go-to supplement (in my opinion)

21 Individualised protocol with tes8ng: Ovasitol Berberine or combo product (e.g. Glysen) BiZer melon Lipoic acid Possibly TestoQuench for Women Mineral complex (Cr, Ca, Mg, V) Vitamin complex An8oxidants

22 Individualised protocol: Ovasitol Berberine or combo product (e.g. Glysen) BiZer melon Lipoic acid Possibly TestoQuench for Women Add individualised nutrients as per tes8ng

23 Correc0ng menopausal imbalances Generally not difficult to do: Thorough ini8al intake / health history / symptoms MTQ Symptoms usually tell the story Just need to figure what s most important: Thyroid Adrenals Reproduc8ve hormones Founda8onal principles Food, ea8ng habits GI health Nutrient status

24 Correc0ng menopausal imbalances Complica8ons: What meds is she on, if any? Is she taking synthe8c HRT? If so, which hormones estrogen only, E+P or E+P+T? Has she had a hysterectomy? If so, is it a full or par8al removal? Is there a history or known risk breast cancer? Family or through gene tes8ng

25 Correc0ng menopausal imbalances Assuming there are no complica8ons, and with no lab tes8ng: MTQ: Appropriate botanical formula8ons ProgestoMend EstroMend TestoGain TestoQuench for Women) I will offer educaoon on HRT, but only within my legal jurisdicoon (see next lesson)

26 Correc0ng menopausal imbalances With lab tes8ng: I will s8ll use MTQ and consider the botanical formula8ons I ll individualize based on personal requirements: GI work (espec. If GI symptoms are present) May need to work on genitourinary support Liver support / kidney support Nutrient replenishment

27 summary Usually, but not always, insulin related Diet, lifestyle enormously important CBC/SMAC test ideal, including insulin, HbA1c Consider liver, thyroid, RBC markers, vitamin D Core protocol: Ovasitol, berberine, bizer melon, LA, Cr Consider TestoQuench for Women Consider Mg, V, B6 and other nutrients as indicated

28 Menopausal imbalances summary Consider history and symptoms Hysterectomy, HRT, cancer history/risk Basics, basics, basics! Do the MTQ Botanicals as indicated (Progesto, Testo, Estro) Consider thyroid/adrenal axes Address other lab test findings accordingly If there s any cancer risk, ensure hormone levels are monitored by a doctor

29 Thank You! As always, thanks a million for tuning in and consuming this info. It s been my pleasure sharing this wisdom with you. In the next lesson we ll look at how we fix male hormone imbalances.
