The PCOS Environmental Roadmap: Everything You Need to Know About Your Internal and External Environments to Reverse Your PCOS (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781796453676)

The diagnosis of PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) often results in confusion and frustration. It usually comes with a pack of birth control pills and a recommendation to eat better and exercise. While there are many books on PCOS to read, this journey is different. We must look at PCOS not as a medical sickness to be diagnosed and cured but as a state of being that developed based on our genetics, activity and complete internal and external environments. Our modern day life has disrupted our natural body rhythms. This dysregulation may manifest as PCOS in the genetically susceptible woman. Once you understand how women evolved to develop PCOS, we will give you a roadmap to help you regain your health and vitality. The journey to hormonal balance and freedom from the PCOS dysregulation requires the navigation of The PCOS Environmental Roadmap. Written by a functional medicine OB/GYN and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, The PCOS Environmental Roadmap will illustrate specific areas of our body that have been affected along the way by the environment that surrounds us both inside and out. The PCOS Roadmap is divided into 6 parallel lanes that can and need to be traveled simultaneously:1) Energy balance- including caloric intake and burn and movement beyond exercise (although that is also important)2) Genetics and Epigenetics- who we start as and who we become3) Microbiome -our interactions with our internal environment4) Light- our circadian rhythms and sunlight exposure (our interactions with the external environment)5) EMF-electromagnetic force and it's disruption of both our mitochondrial energy production and life's building blocks (external environment interacting with the internal)6) Hormone Balance - Estrogen and progesterone are important, but the PCOS patient needs to consider the impact of insulin, leptin, AMH, thyroid and more. With 25 years of OB/GYN experience, Dr. Dian Ginsberg has helped thousands of women with PCOS eliminate their troublesome symptoms by addressing the genetic and environmental triggers that result in the development of this syndrome. This book provides a detailed roadmap of what labs to draw, what to do immediately to begin healing and other actions to take to start you on the Road to optimal health.
