@ginawolfwellness: Normal vs Life with PCOS ⚖️ PCOS is not just irregular periods. Here is what is actually happening in your body. ➡️ When insulin is high, your ovaries produce more testosterone. That testosterone is what causes the acne, the hair loss, and the irregular cycles. ➡️ When cortisol is chronically elevated, it steals from progesterone. Low progesterone means anxiety, mood swings, and poor sleep, even when you are exhausted. ➡️ When estrogen and progesterone are out of balance, your blood sugar cannot stay stable, which is why your energy crashes every single afternoon. Here is what actually helps. ✅ Eating protein, fat, fiber, and carbs at every meal keeps insulin stable and stops your ovaries from overproducing testosterone. ✅ Supporting your minerals, specifically magnesium, sodium, and potassium, gives your body what it needs to produce progesterone and regulate your mood. ✅ Cutting back on intense workouts during your luteal phase stops cortisol from making every symptom worse. These are simple changes, but they work because they target the root cause instead of masking the symptoms.
