Nutrional Approaches to Recover from PCOS
The female body is equipped with the power to create new life out of just a few microscopic cells. But along with that comes many physical burdens. It’s difficult to maintain the complex and delicate web of internal processes that turns zygotes into infants. Women can struggle with multitudinous health problems like menstrual irregularities; pelvic floor disorders; pregnancy complications; ovarian and cervical cancers; and one of the most prevalent issues, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Fact Based Health - The Food Insulin Index, PCOS and Metabolic Health
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome also known as PCOS affects an estimated 7 million women in the USA alone and is the most common hormonal condition in women. Although it’s always been thought of as a reproductive health concern, it’s actually a complex condition that not only affects a woman’s ability to ovulate or conceive, but has powerful effects on a woman’s metabolism and weight. It’s much harder to lose weight if you have PCOS, and also far easier to gain fat. Women with the condition tend to carry weight around their abdomen, and have increased risks for type two diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease — even after menopause.

Interview with with Coveteur on Birth Control
It’s 2016. And one of the most important issues of today for women, especially after being thwarted into the spotlight in light of political outcomes, is birth control. Now more than ever, we’re thinking about and reconsidering the best form of contraceptive for us (because each one of us is different, with different needs). But whether or not the election is the catalyst for why you’re deciding to switch to an IUD or stop taking the pill altogether, or it’s about your health, or you’re thinking about having a baby, we wanted to give you a few facts. So we consulted a doctor (as you should too, before making any changes), Dr. Fiona McCulloch, N.D., to find out what we can expect when deciding to go off the pill.

Consulted by Reader's digest - 8 Silent Signs You Have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
About 7 million U.S. women have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which results when excess insulin increases the production of androgens (male hormones). It’s the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age—as many as one in 10 will develop PCOS—yet shockingly, it’s estimated that more than half don’t know they have it. “I see women regularly who’ve remained undiagnosed their entire lives,” says Fiona McCulloch, ND, a naturopathic doctor in Toronto and author of the forthcoming book 8 Steps to Reverse Your PCOS. That’s scary, considering that PCOS is linked to diabetes (one recent study from Monash University in Australia showed that women with PCOS—even if they’re young and not overweight—are five times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes) and heart disease, the leading killer of women. Being treated for PCOS can safeguard your life, so it’s important to recognize PCOS symptoms, which can vary from woman to woman. Here are some of the most common.

As such, I dove deep into my favourite resource, “PubMed” to see what might be out there.
This comprehensive post is a great way to learn about the specific details of the relationship between PCOS and thyroid disease. Please share – it contains important information for women of reproductive age!
