the PCOS
program
what is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries. It's characterized by an imbalance in reproductive hormones, particularly elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) in women. These elevated androgens can disrupt the menstrual cycle and lead to symptoms such as irregular periods, ovarian cysts, acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and weight gain.
While PCOS can be challenging to manage, with proper medical care and lifestyle adjustments, many women can effectively manage their symptoms and lead healthy, fulfilling lives. Our holistic treatment plans work to target several areas of wellness at once to alleviate PCOS symptoms and help you feel balanced again.
The exact cause of PCOS is not clear but most evidence points to abnormalities around insulin function.

During your initial consult, your medical team will consist of a Medical Doctor/Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Nutritional Practitioner. They will take into account your lifestyle, diet, and stressors in conjunction with your bloodwork results to develop a program that addresses your unique needs and concerns. Our PCOS program is structured as a series of phases that allows our medical professionals to comprehensively address and then closely monitor the progress of your PCOS symptoms.

Food sensitivity results take 2 weeks to be reviewed. Testing begins at $325 for the LifeLabs Basic+ panel.

The ongoing nature of PCOS means that a month-by-month structure is necessary for us to ensure optimal symptom management and supervision.
Your monthly fee will cover any appointments for prescription renewals, a monthly check-in with your PCOS specialist, ongoing support, plan adjustments, and any additional bloodwork required to monitor your body.
