How To Reduce Symptoms of PCOS | Dr. Casey Means

🎤 On a recent episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast hosted by Dr. Carrie Jones, Levels co-founder Casey Means, MD, discusses underlying mechanisms of polycystic ovary syndrome.

⚠️ PCOS affects at least 10% of women globally, and the condition is tied to metabolic health:

- A hallmark of the disease is high insulin levels.
- High insulin stimulates the ovarian theca cells to produce androgens.
- Overproduction of androgens can disrupt the delicate balance of estrogen, progesterone, and other reproductive hormones.
- These hormonal disruptions can lead to cycle an ovulation abnormalities.
- These abnormalities can impact fertility.
- Symptom also include weight gain, acne, and more.

✅ Although PCOS has some genetic factors, focusing on improving metabolic health has been shown to help alleviate symptoms.
