Jaclyn - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
• 45 minMeet @jaxcave 👋🏻 I mainly know her for her being an incredible naturopath in Sydney, helping women with their hormones, cycles, fertility, and skin. Little did I know that she has experienced PCOS in her life until we got chatting one day. Before Jax even considered becoming a naturopath she went through months and months without a period and didn’t really know what was going on with her body. After her GP tested her female hormones and ran an ultrasound, she was diagnosed with PCOS and was left on her way. Then, she went to see a naturopath who tested her male hormones, insulin levels among other things, and discovered she had elevated androgens - from there they were able to treat Jax to get her cycle back. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects up to 1 in 10 girls and women and is one of the major causes of infertility. The cause? It’s kinda unknown, but PCOS warriors produce high levels of male hormones from their ovaries, which affect the menstrual cycle. Jax talks about how PCOS doesn’t mean you have cysts, like the name suggests, it’s mainly just a lot of follicles. If you experience pain in your stomach, this won’t be caused by the condition, it will be something else. Book a session with Jax here.
