PCOS Help??

Question

I recently was diagnosed with PCOS and I was wondering what type of supplements, dietary changes and types of exercise is the best. I want to learn about all of this. 
I was suggest a low grade BC with metformin. I just was curious about “other options” before that route since Nexplanon didn’t work for me.

Answer

Hey, sorry about your diagnosis, I know it’s not fun but you can definitely mitigate your symptoms through diet and and exercise. I would highly recommend eating a low carb/ low glycemic index diet from my own experience. This does involve a fair amount of research on your part but it’s worth it to learn about the foods you’re eating. I usually stick with whole foods only as well, processed stuff should really be eaten in moderation. As far as supplements, you should probably talk with your doc first because I don’t know your medical history but I take magnesium, vitamins D and C, B complex, zinc and I also take 1000mg metformin daily. I do not take birth control because it makes me feel awful. Hope this helps you and if you have any questions ask away.
