PCOS: How Eating Habits, Genes, Toxins Alter the Monthly Cycle—OB-GYN Explains | PART 1
Weight gain, irregular periods, and infertility may seem unrelated. Could they signal a deeper metabolic problem affecting millions of women?
Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, affects millions of women worldwide, yet many still struggle to get clear answers. It has recently been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS, to reflect that the condition extends well beyond the ovaries.
In “Vital Signs” Hormone Rescue Part 1, board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Adeeti Gupta offers her insights into what is happening inside the body. She describes insulin resistance as the core problem and outlines the symptoms she sees most often, from irregular periods and acne to fatigue and mood changes.
Gupta explains how doctors diagnose the condition, why a single hormone test can be misleading, and how it can affect fertility. She also covers genetics, the link to diabetes, and her view that inflammation underlies much of the condition.
In Part 2, Gupta sets the stage for a broader look at PCOS treatment by introducing her “LAMPS” approach, emphasizing nutrition, exercise, and improved insulin sensitivity. She also covers emerging approaches, including red light and hyperbaric therapies.
Gupta is founder and medical director of NY360 Wellness Medicine in New York.
