It makes the periods regular.

It helps with the skin.

It helps with the hair loss.

It helps with all of that.

You can do both.

Estrogen and progesterone, or there's a progesterone-only birth control pill now called Slend that helps with, it's very anti-androgenic that I try for PCOS patients who don't want to, you know, need a method of birth control.

But when it comes to treatment, you have to hit the underlying pillars, right?

So we talked about the epigenetics.

I always start with that.

Okay.

exercise, walking after each meal, you know, walk for 10, 15 minutes.

Make sure you're sleeping well.

Make sure your diet is healthy.

You're not eating inflammatory foods.

You're avoiding, you know, processed foods.

So lower your stress.

So you deal with that, but that doesn't work for these patients.

That's why you need to address everything else.

Insulin resistance is one of the main pillars that needs to be addressed.

You have to lower that insulin because if you lower that insulin, you're lowering visceral fat, you're lowering inflammation, you're lowering the ovaries from secreting androgens, right?
