PCOS Isn’t Just Hormonal—It’s Metabolic
That’s Why You Can’t “Willpower” Your Way Through It.
Most people think PCOS is all about your ovaries.
But here’s the truth:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a whole-body, metabolic disorder.
Up to 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance—even if they’re not overweight.
And insulin resistance doesn’t just mess with your blood sugar—it drives up androgens, stalls ovulation, triggers inflammation, and worsens mood dysregulation (Lim et al., 2019).
That’s why symptom-based treatment alone won’t fix it.
And why at VitaNova Psychiatry & Wellness, we go deeper.
We test—not guess.
We target root imbalances in metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and neurochemistry.
Because mental clarity, energy, fat loss, and menstrual regulation are not separate goals.
They all stem from the same core system: your metabolic engine.
Ready to stop treating PCOS like a puzzle and start treating it like a pattern?
You deserve a plan that works with your biology—not against it.
