I speak for myself when I say PCOS is a B*tch.
I was diagnosed as a young teenager and struggled with the symptoms into mid adulthood. With diet and Face Reality I was able to clear my own acne. In an effort to help other women struggling with PCOS I wanted to share some information.
Affecting about 10 million women in the world PCOS is not to be taken lightly. The exact reason why women develop PCOS is unknown, but it is considered a hormonal problem. It is the leading cause of female infertility and responsible for many more symptoms that affect the body physically and emotionally.
Hormonally speaking women with PCOS have higher levels of androgens in their bodies. The excess androgens are responsible for many of the PCOS symptoms including acne.
Women with PCOS are insulin resistant. Insulin allows the body to absorb glucose into your cells to use as energy. When you’re insulin resistant this can lead to increased blood glucose levels and cause the body to make even more insulin. Too much insulin can force your body to make more androgens.
It’s important to limit sugar and carbs in your diet when you have PCOS so your insulin levels don’t increase. With a diet geared towards low sugar and carbs, as well as avoiding foods known to aggravate acne, the breakouts that occur with PCOS are just as responsive and treatable as every other kind.
As we know there is no cure for PCOS but not having to worry about acne and wearing a symptom right on your face is a small victory. My programs are perfect for anybody ready to taking control of life with PCOS.
