Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It can lead to a variety of symptoms and health concerns. PCOS occurs when the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens (male hormones), leading to hormonal imbalances. This can interfere with ovulation and result in irregular menstrual cycles, fertility issues, and other symptoms.

Common Symptoms of PCOS:

Irregular periods: Infrequent, prolonged, or absent menstruation.
Excess androgens: Symptoms like excessive facial/body hair (hirsutism), acne, or male-pattern baldness.
Polycystic ovaries: Enlarged ovaries with multiple small follicles (not necessarily cysts) visible on ultrasound.
Weight gain: Often concentrated around the abdomen.
Difficulty conceiving: Due to irregular ovulation or lack of ovulation.
Other signs: Dark patches of skin, mood swings.

How PCOS is diagnosed?

Medical history: Includes menstrual patterns, weight changes, and family history of PCOS or diabetes.

Physical exam: Checking for hirsutism, acne, skin patches, or obesity.

Ultrasound: To check for the presence of polycystic ovaries.

Blood tests: To measure hormone levels (testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and prolactin). Additional tests may assess thyroid function or insulin resistance.

Importance of Early Diagnosis:

Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent long-term complications like:

Type 2 diabetes

Cardiovascular disease

Endometrial cancer

Infertility

Mental health issues (depression and anxiety)

You are consulting with qualified dietitian and clinic nutritionist. Though we would provide you with diet & nutrition advice after bodily analysis and a health assessment, it in no manner replaces or substitutes for the services of a physician or a doctor.
We are providing you with an opportunity to turn around your life. This effort involves the investment of our time, and as a wise person once said, ‘Time is money’. We would be charging you for our expertise in the field, and expect you to respect it. We are not indebted to you in any way for the money you pay us, neither can it be used to take advantage of us in any way.
The time and effort we both put in is beneficial only if we are sincere to each other. While we are committed to putting our best foot forward in whatever we do, we expect the same from you. We would encourage you to set a high bar in commitment, honesty, respect and patience for yourself before embarking on this journey and keep at it throughout.
We aim at changing your lifestyle. It is a process which is going to take time and some effort from your side. Kindly do not expect some quick fix in treating Thyroid, PCOD/S or Diabetes, as it would be unrealistic. Lifestyle changes are about changing habits, hence do not expect miracles in a week’s or a month’s time. Diseases may or may not get fully cured but can absolutely be managed with diet & lifestyle modifications as we focus on root cause rather than symptoms.
We encourage you on asking questions to understand the logic behind everything being done and suggested. Our every recommendation has a valid reason, and we would be happy to share our knowledge with you. But please keep it restricted to that only. Challenging us to satisfy ego would only hamper the respectful and trustworthy relationship required between us and you for this effort to work.
We believe on improving your health and heal your inner self through natural course, but if need be, we might recommend some dietary supplements.
You commit to take responsibility for your own actions and understand that the dietitian can only guide and cannot control what you consume vs what was prescribed.
Payments: You agree to make full payment at the start of the program.
We DO NOT guarantee that you will definitely loss 10 or 20 kilo weight in a week or month. But your body can safely lose few kilos/inches pounds in a month, and the fat you lose with us will not bounce back as long as you remain self-disciplined. Our diet plans are not short-term diet plans that you follow for temporary results. Instead, the food prescribed is which you can sustain for life long, and hence get permanent outcomes resulting in a lifestyle change.
Refunds: Once you have paid for a program, the No Refund policy applies. Due to the nature of services involved, no refund is provided, under any circumstances.

Let’s work towards sculpting a better version of you together!
