May is Women's Health Month, and it's the perfect time to focus on the unique health challenges that women face. At QuCiL Health, we're committed to helping women understand and address hormonal imbalance and metabolic dysfunction.
PCOS: More Than a Reproductive Condition
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 1 in 10 women and often begins in the teenage years or early adulthood. While it's known for causing irregular periods and fertility issues, it's a metabolic-hormonal disorder that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment.
The Role of Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance is a key driver of PCOS symptoms, including high androgen levels, acne, hair thinning, ovarian cysts, and difficulty losing weight.
Targeted Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategies: With the right approach, many women experience significant improvements in both symptoms and laboratory markers.
Obesity, Hormones & Insulin Resistance: A Vicious Cycle
Obesity is never just about "calories in, calories out." For women, hormonal imbalance and metabolic dysfunction often play a huge role in weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
The Impact of Visceral Fat: Visceral fat can disrupt estrogen balance and exacerbate inflammation, contributing to insulin resistance and making weight loss more challenging.
Breaking the Cycle: Identifying and addressing insulin resistance can unlock the path to real, lasting change.
Conventional + Integrative Approaches: You Don't Have to Choose
At QuCiL Health, we believe in blending the best of both worlds: conventional medicine and integrative, root-cause medicine.
Comprehensive Approach: We work with you to understand why your body is responding the way it is—and help you make sustainable progress toward better health.
Menopause and Metabolism: More Than Just Hormones
As women enter perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can slow metabolism, trigger hot flashes, impact sleep, and lead to increased fat storage.
The Role of Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance can worsen during menopause, leading to elevated blood sugar, increased fat storage, and persistent fatigue.
Functional Lab Testing: At QuCiL Health, we help women navigate menopause with both symptom relief and functional lab testing to uncover root causes such as insulin resistance or thyroid imbalance.
