Insulin Resistance-related PCOS (Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome)
leads to the release of excess insulin, a condition known as hyperinsulinemia.
Ovaries seem to be particularly sensitive to high blood levels of insulin
and respond by overproducing male hormones (androgens) like testosterone,
which cause PCOS symptoms such as infertility, excessive hair growth,
male pattern baldness and acne. Hyperinsulinemia can also lead to higher
levels of "bad" cholesterol, which increase the risks of a
heart attack.
 Insulin
Resistance leads to the release of more and more insulin, a condition
called hyperinsulinemia. The ovaries of women seem to be particularly
sensitive to high blood levels of insulin and respond by overproducing
male hormones (androgens) like testosterone, which cause PCOS
symptoms such as infertility, excessive hair growth, male pattern
baldness and acne. Hyperinsulinemia can also lead to higher levels
of "bad"
cholesterol, which increase the risks of a heart attack.
- Insulin Resistance heightens the risk of PCOS sufferers becoming
Pre-Diabetic which can lead to Type 2 Diabetes, an increased risk factor
for Cardiovascular Disease. Insulin Resistance can also cause high
blood pressure, another risk factor for heart problems.
- Women who have never been pregnant have up to three times the risk
of developing endometrial cancer compared with women who have had a
successful pregnancy. Insulin Resistance-related Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome is one of the most common causes of anovulation, the condition
when women fail to ovulate regularly or at all. Lack of ovulation is
the prime cause of infertility in women who have PCOS.
"It can all become very overwhelming,
especially when you just want to be young (I am only 20) and
forget about being sick, as this has all been going on for about
4 years.
I think it is very important for younger people to realize they
can use this product and get help before it becomes a really BIG
problem."

- Another troubling statistic is that women who are up to 21-50 pounds
overweight run three times the risk of endometrial cancer, while women
who are more than 50 pounds overweight run ten times the risk. Insulin
Resistance-related obesity is also a root cause of PCOS.
- Researchers have long known that people who are overweight and suffer
from Type 2 Diabetes are at greater risk from developing Alzheimer's
Disease and other types of dementia. Most women with Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome are overweight and some are vulnerable to developing Diabetes.
Depression or mood swings are also common among PCOS sufferers. Persistent,
unaddressed Insulin Resistance among people with depression may lead
to the neuro-degeneration associated with Alzheimer's Disease. PCOS
symptoms can also include sleep apnea (breathing problems during sleeping)
and thyroid disorders.
Because there is no single solution for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
or Insulin Resistance, you must rely on a multi-faceted approach. A complete
system, including nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are
disease specific), a realistic exercise program, nutritional guidance
and a support network that will help you change unhealthy lifestyle choices,
is required to address the issues presented by these syndromes.
