Book synopsis

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is the number one cause of irregular periods and infertility in women. It affects 10% of women worldwide. PCOS is a condition of overproduction of androgens by the ovaries. In essence, the ovaries produce too much testosterone, causing abnormal hair growth, irregular or absent menstruation/ovulation, acne, and small benign cysts on the ovaries. If left undetected, PCOS can lead to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. While researchers haven't determined the cause of PCOS, they know it is linked to insulin resistance, which causes obesity.That's where this book comes in. Insulin resistance can be controlled with a low-carb diet fairly easily. What to Do When the Doctor Says It's PCOS gives sufferers a diet and nutritional treatment program that goes beyond the usual regimen of birth control pills and fertility drugs. It can be used as an alternative and/or adjunct to their current treatments.
