Hello Geraldine, To understand your condition better, I need to ask a few questions. Are your periods regular, or do you experience heavy bleeding, cramps, or long gaps between cycles? Have you gained weight, especially around the belly, and do you feel bloated or have digestion issues? How often do you feel tired, even after a full night's sleep? Do you have acne, excess facial or body hair, or hair thinning? What does your daily diet look like? Do you eat a lot of processed foods, dairy, or sugar? How often do you exercise? Have you done tests like fasting insulin to check for insulin resistance? Do you crave sweets or feel dizzy when you skip meals? How well do you sleep, and do you experience stress or anxiety often? Based on your answers, I can suggest Ayurvedic herbs, diet changes, and lifestyle tips to help balance your hormones, reduce insulin resistance, and manage PCOS symptoms naturally. Let me know your responses!
