polycysticovarysyndrome

Welcome to this episode of "The Harley Street Doctor"! In conversation with our speakers  Dr. Enam Abood & Alya Shakir, today's discussion dives into a critical exploratory journey decoding a condition that challenges numerous women worldwide known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). 

The occurrence of this condition is much higher than understood to be, impacting nearly one in ten women. 

PCOS is not a disorder, but it's considered a plinth of the natural structure in some women. This segment aims to provide an exhaustive understanding of PCOS right from the rationale behind its name to the medical peculiarities associated with it.

In the detailed explanation of "What is PCOS?" we touch upon the expected and actual appearances of ovaries, giving you a clear perspective about PCOS and why it matters. The narrative unearths the potential complications such as fertility issues, persistent weight, and elevated testosterone levels which could induce excessive facial and body hair. Reiterating the fact, PCOS does not escalate into life-threatening situations or ovarian cancer.

What began as lower back pain for Annamarya Scaccia became a diagnosis of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. Annamarya has survived the removal of a kidney, and post-treatment has become a competitive bodybuilder, and serves as an advocate for others through the written and spoken word. This is her story.

Dr. Fiona McCulloch joins JJ on today’s episode. She is a naturopathic doctor and founder of White Lotus Integrative Medicine in Toronto, Canada. Her book, 8 Steps To Reverse Your PCOS, offers methods for the natural treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Dr Fiona and JJ discuss how circadian rhythm affects the fat cells in our bodies. Fat cells produce hormones, break down chemicals and inform the brain on energy stores. When we learn the most efficient time to eat, not only can we optimize our metabolism, but our bodies are also able to function much easier!

Today's podcast features a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), Marissa Kent. We highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle during a pandemic, compare the nutrition value of today's products versus past values, talk about which eating lifestyle may be the best for the individual, and stress the importance of the education of healthy food choices starting early in school for younger children.

Nicole Granato joins on me on the podcast today. Nicole is a holistic nutritionist and wellness coach, who specializes in treating hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, eating disorders and much more. Today’s we’re discussing PCOS “Polycystic ovary syndrome” The Mayo Clinic’s definition of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs. Nicole challenges this traditional definition of PCOS. In her opinion you shouldn’t be diagnosed with PCOS unless an ultrasound shows you have cysts on your ovaries.

Traditionally Dr.’s treat PCOS by prescribing Birth Control. In this episode Nicole challenges that treatment option and provides holistic ways to treat PCOS. She cured her own PCOS without the use of Birth Control or other medication and has helped many other women do the same.

Key Takeaway: There is more then one way to treat PCOS and you shouldn’t necessarily believe you have PCOS unless you have cysts on your ovaries.

 Highlights: 

• Taking bits and pieces of different diets
• Being diagnosed with PCOS
• Hormone disrupters
• Balancing hormones naturally vs. using Birth Control
• PCOS Symptoms
• PCOS affects about 1 in 6 or 1 in 8 women
• Misdiagnosis’s
• The cause of PCOS is unclear
• Treating PCOS though diet and lifestyle
• Weight gain, irregular periods and hairloss – precursors to PCOS
