There’s an old saying that you’re probably familiar with: Mind over matter. This is a nice thought, but most of us realize that body and mind are connected much more closely than that phrase might suggest. Indeed, anyone who has ever battled a serious illness or a long-term disability will surely attest to the fact that body and mind are closely intertwined, and that conditions affecting the body often cannot help but affect the mind. That much is certainly the case with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine condition that is increasingly being regarded as a major force in ushering in mental and emotional disorders.
If you know much about the illness, that’s no great surprise. PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a particularly prevalent condition; in fact, it’s the most common of all female hormonal disorders, with somewhere around 10% of all women of childbearing age suffering its effects. PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is characterized by a string of cysts in the ovaries, but its effects are so widespread they are nearly impossible to pin down. Indeed, the condition has been linked to everything from pre-diabetes to cancer to heart disease. It is closely related to Insulin Resistance—the body’s loss of sensitivity to glucose, or blood sugar—which is where the link to emotional and mental disease comes in.
Increasingly, research is indicating that the kinds of insulin problems associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) can be early indicators of mental abnormalities. In many studies, an inability to properly take in glucose—which is really what Insulin Resistance is all about—heralds the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. There may also be a link to depression. These mental conditions have been shown to be improved, at least to some degree, when insulin injections are given, something that speaks to the importance of glucose in mental health.
Of course, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and infertility are also closely linked, plus a myriad of other pregnancy complications, so the fact that depression might be a symptom is, perhaps, no great surprise. But there is no need for discouragement. The good news is that this condition is reversible. There are plenty of practical steps that can be taken to offset its effects—things as basic as getting more exercise and eating foods that are richer in essential nutrients, lower in carbs. Additionally, Insulite Health has a developed a series of educational materials and also a supplement that has been shown to reverse the effects of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), so there are definitely steps that can be taken. Don’t let this diagnosis serve as cause for sullen depression. Use it as an opportunity to start living a healthier lifestyle today!
Insulite Health, a Boulder, Colorado USA based company, is committed to reversing Insulin Resistance – a potentially dangerous imbalance of blood glucose and insulin. Scientific research has revealed that this disorder can be a primary cause of excess weight gain and obesity, plus Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin Resistance can also underlie the cluster of increased risk factors for cardiovascular damage called Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) as well as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).
Recognizing that there are millions of people who need help, Insulite Health has designed what is considered the most effective systematic approach to reversing Insulin Resistance and these associated disorders. Insulite Health is recognized world-wide for developing systems to address the underlying causes of Metabolic Syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), excess weight/obesity, pre-diabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes.
