PCOS is one of the most common, yet complex hormonal, metabolic, and endocrine disorders, which also happens to be the predominant cause of female infertility. Because its symptoms are widespread-including stubborn weight gain, acne, mood swings, abnormal hair loss or growth, infertility, insulin resistance, and irregular menstrual cycles-women suffering from PCOS are often misdiagnosed and treated with "Band-Aid" pharmaceuticals. These prescriptions often carry uncomfortable side effects that may worsen other symptoms--all to mask PCOS's root causes. While there is no cure for PCOS, women have the opportunity to learn how to control their symptoms naturally. With this practical handbook you can start to see PCOS symptoms improve in as little as 2 weeks. Grounded in the latest medical research and filled with the authors' first-hand experience, you will be empowered to take back control of your body and your life.
