Eating For PCOS: Raw Taco Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing
Posted by Holly on April 30th, 2012 at 9:04 am
I want to preface this recipe by saying - don't get scared by the ingredient list! People often get inundated by a long recipe because they think it will be hard or time consuming. This recipe took about 30 minutes for me to make, including washing the processor in between uses. Many of the same items are listed for each recipe, and once you have everything together you literally just have to throw it in a blender and hit a button. Easy! You can also make the dressing, chorizo, and sour cream ...

Healing PCOS with Supplements
Posted by Holly on September 26th, 2010 at 4:20 am
There are quite a few vitamins and minerals that are shown to be profoundly helpful to PCOS sufferers. Don't be intimidated by this list! Most of these things can be found in a really good multi-vitamin. Also, I would like to point out that there is a strong link between gluten intolerance and mineral deficiencies. When your body cannot process gluten correctly it destroys the villi in your small intestines, deeming it unable to absorb vitamins and minerals completely. It is also common for PCOS...

Metformin appears to work in three ways. First, it decreases the absorption of dietary carbohydrates through the intestines.

How To Know If You Have PCOS
Posted by Holly on September 1st, 2010 at 2:39 am
PCOS effects 5-10% of women of reproductive age and is thought to be the leading cause of female infertility. It is fairly easy for PCOS to go undiagnosed and untreated as the symptoms can be mistaken for other problems such as diabetes, adrenal issues or obesity. There is no cure for PCOS and the "treatments" consist of masking the problem with birth control or using Metformin or other diabetes medications to reduce insulin levels. A much more effective solution is a natural PCOS treatment in...
