I discovered that I had PCOS while trying to get pregnant with my second child. I was diagnosed by my OB-GYN after an ultrasound. The diagnosis was an epiphany for me. All the years of irregular periods, annoying facial hair, hypoglycemia and a thinning hairline finally made sense.

The only piece of the puzzle that didn’t fit was that I haven’t struggled with my weight. I am 6’0" and 150 lbs and have a healthy BMI. My doctor prescribed Metformin and monitored Clomid cycles and soon I became pregnant and had a healthy baby boy.

About a year after the baby’s birth, I noticed my PCOS symptoms were getting worse. The facial hair growth was out of control and my hair was getting thinner. I was tired all the time, moody and was experiencing a lot of hypoglycemic symptoms. I purchased a glucometer and began monitoring my blood sugars. I realized that they were drastically fluctuating whenever I ate simple carbohydrates.

When it was time for my annual physical, I went to my OB⁄GYN and she told me that I would have to take birth control and Metformin indefinitely. Well, I hated the way Metformin made me feel. I tolerated it when I was trying to get pregnant but didn’t want to be on this medication indefinitely – especially since I don’t have diabetes. There had to be another way to control my PCOS symptoms.

Soon after, I found Dr. Laura Riley, a naturopath physician who specializes in endocrine disorders. She prescribed a low-carb diet, and introduced me to Insulite products. In addition, I began walking 5x a week and practicing yoga 3x a week.

I have been taking Insulite for a little over 6 months, and I am thrilled with how I feel. My mood swings are gone, I have lots of energy, the facial hair is gone, my hair is getting thicker and my blood sugar is normal. I am looking forward to coming off birth control and hopefully getting my periods on my own.

Thank you for offering PCOS sufferers a natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs. I couldn’t be happier with Insulite!
