PCOS: Supplements, Meds, Foods to Reverse Hormone Disorder | PART 2

Can changes in diet, gut health, and metabolism help women overcome polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—and even restore their fertility?

In Part 2 of “Vital Signs’” Hormone Rescue series, board-certified OB-GYN and NY360 Wellness Medicine founder Dr. Adeeti Gupta explores practical approaches to managing the hormonal and metabolic disturbances associated with PCOS.

Gupta shares the story of a 27-year-old patient who struggled with irregular periods, weight gain, and infertility for nearly two years. After following a treatment program involving dietary changes and supplements, the woman began menstruating more regularly and eventually conceived naturally.

The discussion examines the relationship between gut bacteria, insulin resistance, and elevated testosterone, along with the potential benefits of supplements including berberine, inositol, and green tea extract. Gupta also considers whether GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic could help women with PCOS, while acknowledging the need for further research.

Beyond nutrition and medication, she explores how chronic stress, mental health, and mitochondrial function may influence hormonal balance. She also outlines her comprehensive LAMPS treatment approach, incorporating lifestyle changes, physical activity, mindfulness, and social support.

From emerging diagnostic tests to simple changes in daily routines, Gupta offers a broader perspective on managing PCOS and improving reproductive health.
