Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and sugar imbalances are two common conditions that often occur together and can have a significant impact on a woman’s health.

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that causes Estrogen dominance, affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age, which means there is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to an excess of estrogen in the body. This is characterized by the presence of small cysts on the ovaries and can cause a variety of symptoms, including weight gain, facial hair, mood swings, and menstrual irregularities.

One of the primary underlying causes of PCOS is insulin resistance, which is a condition in which the body becomes less sensitive to insulin and is unable to regulate blood sugar levels effectively and has an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. It is often associated with obesity, physical inactivity, and a diet high in processed foods and added sugars. The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can cause an increase in insulin levels and add to the severity of insulin resistance.

Sugar imbalances, on the other hand, can occur when the body is unable to regulate its blood sugar levels effectively. This can lead to various symptoms, including fatigue, cravings, and mood swings. People with insulin resistance and PCOS are particularly at risk for developing sugar imbalances.

In order to diagnose and treat insulin resistance and estrogen dominance, healthcare providers may perform various tests, including fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, oral glucose tolerance tests, and hormone panels.

To improve insulin sensitivity and balance hormones., it is crucial to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. In particular, it is important to eat a diet that is low in processed foods, high in fiber, and rich in healthy fats. In addition, it is also important to limit your intake of refined sugars, as they can exacerbate insulin resistance and make it more difficult to regulate blood sugar levels.
