Hello Marla, I have a question about PCOS. I think I can say I had Pcos 8 months ago and have been working with my holistic nutritionist about it since my first visit like magic a month later I got my period back and slowly the flow became normal. I no longer have hair falling out, my acne is almost gone by 95% and my periods are never heavy. However a week before or the week I get my period the symptoms desiring more sugar (I do low fruit as I can but sometimes I can’t say no to chocolate (HU)) or what I get always before my period is heart palpitation not 24/7 but it can skip a bit once in a while BEFORE my period.
Last month, and the month before same with heart palpitation, but I also would get bitter taste in my throat and just would not taste my food. Last month I saw my nutritionist and she told me to uptake my glutathione and Magnesium a week before my period so I have and I also been taking real aloe vera organic of course which removed that bitter taste I was dealing with before my period comes.This is the first month I don’t have that taste which is good right?
I mentioning all this to you just to give you a little info about me and what has been and is going on in my hormones. Today in the morning, I had flax seed with chia seed with coconut milk (I make it the way you do it) with organic strawberries, blueberries with ceylon cinnamon and added probiotics in it. Few hours later, all of sudden I began to feel light headed, dizzy and I felt so numb to a point that I thought I was going to pass out. Do you think my sugar might have dropped? I did put a lot of cinnamon and I have not been drinking enough water, so i’m guessing this could be but knowing how I get odd symptoms that im days away from getting my period. Felling heart palpitation to.
What do you advice for me to do? or take? Please let me know. I love to know! I will have chamomile today, before I go to sleep, so far now im good I am taking a day off from all supplements and BTD. (:
Hello,
You could try taking Metabolic XTRA which is a GREAT supplement for people with PCOS to balance blood sugar. The palpitations and dizziness could be due to your metabolic system but of course check with your practitioner before taking as this information you gave me here is unfortunately not enough to go off to make recommendations.
Also with PCOS, you always want to start off the morning with a filling breakfast such as sprouted oatmeal and berries or warm quinoa with apple sauce. Perhaps the chia pudding was too much fat and not enough carbs for energy too?
Thanks for the reply here, I guess is not pcos, because I do get my period every month. I think PMS is the right word the weird feels women get before their period. I was thinking it could have been that as well to much fat (even though those fats are healthy) and The lack of having a healthy carb. Today, I took b12 from pure encap along side with selenium and I feel okay. I still feel a little light headed but not as bad as I had it yesterday. This is for sure pms. I ate sprouted quinoa today with squash soup from Boneafide! 😀 so I for sure had a very high carb but I loved it.
Would berberine alone work as well as Metabolic XTRA? I spy berberine on that supplement. I know is good for pcos, sibo and candida. I asked a question about berberine to you on the liver topic.
Thank you so much Marla!!!!! 😀
You can have PCOS without having irregular cycles so if you are concerned you MAY have it, you would want to get properly checked 🙂 COuld definitely be PMS 🙂
You can take Berberine herb as a stand alone with the Metbaolic XTRA absolutely 🙂
Oh, okay. I just think I do not because how much I have reversed from acne, hair loss etc. I will be getting my hormones checked in 2 weeks. Also my Vitamin D levels which I was SUPER low to.
What Berberine herb supplement do you recommend? I asked this question on the liver drainage topic. I do not know if my message was ever sent? I’d love to know, but I would like one that has berberine alone. My nutritionist recommend this one: https://www.pureformulas.com/berberine-60-vegetarian-capsules-by-integrative-therapeutics.html?accountid=53000524&CAWELAID=530005240004916457&CATARGETID=530005240008781054&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKCAiA25v_BRBNEiwAZb4-ZUHjui3Q2OtNs3ncyhj8tg_Ew-CPdvOWTTok254DaEUAH_8yzi2kmxoCxKUQAvD_BwE
Do you find this list clean?
You don’t get rid of PCOS. You can balance y0ur hormones but at soon as you have a lot of sugar or high stress etc, symptoms would return. you can be in remission but you cant “get rid of it”.
I did not see any other questions from you but I recommend this Berberine supplement as it helps with immune modulation but the one your nutritionist mentioned contains modified cellulose which is inflammatory so I wouldn’t take that one.
This one is good too: https://www.amazon.ca/Thorne-Research-Berberine-500-Botanical-Metabolism/dp/B07B6FNZXY/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=berberine&qid=1609079162&sr=8-10
Thank you, Marla. I just bought the berberine you suggested. I know this drops the sugar so i’ll be taking half. (:
I feel so much better and continue to have lots of sprouted quinoa lol with bonafide squash soup. It goes smooth in my tummy.(:
Ah ha! That is the word remission! 😀 so far no period yet just the pms that will lead me to my period. As mention, I have been getting it every month since working with practitioner. This month is almost coming to an end. I have been in high stress for the finals I had 2 weeks ago this month and since this week, I have not been sleeping well due to the pms symptoms. I will be taking some magnesium. I guess I am now pushed to the th2 dominance lol. I am learning so much from you.
Thank you Marla. You are amazing!
Thanks!
I am taking a supplement called Overian complex for my hormones, and I have been taking it for some months now daily. I would like to know if it is safe to take Chastetree 25mg / Damiana 15mg daily? What are the herbs to NEVER take using those I mention?
I’ve always wanted to know. Thanks.
Nakrour, as I mentioned before, i cant legally recommend supplements without you being a client. You would need to discuss that with your practitioner. Any time you’re dealing with hormones, you can cause major imbalances if youre not taking the right ones for YOU and I wouldn’t know what those are without doing a full intake on you.
Hello! (: I saw your post on IG about the pcos course and I would LOVE to join! I am very interested! Where or when can I sign up?
Its not ready yet but when it is, it will be available on http://www.holisticspring.com 🙂
Hey Marla,
Regarding PCOS and avoiding xenoestrogens, how important do you think it is to choose home furniture/bedding etc that is plastic free? For example I was researching plastic free mattresses but they are so expensive.. do you think a regular mattress but covered with plastic free mattress protector/sheets is good enough? Do you have any recommendations for the best materials to search for that will not disrupt hormones?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Helen,
at the end of the day just do the best you can. we are surrounded by toxins left right and center so you wont be able to live 100% toxin free. work within your budget. I suggest anything that is directly touching your skin for long periods of time should be natural as they offgas toxins too. Things like organic cotton or bamboo sheet and pillow case is more important than plastic free mattress, in my opinion.
I am a fan of cotton. i use cotton everything and if you can get unbleached organic cotton, even better! linen and bamboo are also great!
I finally had my ultra sound last week and got my results yesterday. I have no ovarian cyst. This is a good thing right? I never got tested before seeing my HN at the beginning because as I mention to you before the breakout of C19 so maybe I had cryst or maybe I never did.
so what does that mean since I do not have cryst?
just an imbalance ? It is still safe to take Inositol right? It helps me and keeps me calm, but I take half a scoop.
I do notice before my period I get very angry, depressed and just sad. Is this normal or not? I feel at times I want to explode.
