"The Hidden Link Between Mood, Weight Loss, and Mental Clarity That Doctors Overlook"

Many women are unaware that their physical and mental health symptoms, such as mood swings, weight gain, brain fog, and low libido, may be caused by hormonal imbalances. Doctors often fail to conduct thorough hormone panels or differentiate between "normal" and "optimal" ranges, leading to misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be effective in alleviating symptoms, but it is important to find a provider who takes a holistic approach to hormonal health. Lifestyle factors, including sleep, exercise, diet, stress management, and maintaining a healthy weight, also play a crucial role in balancing hormones. Women should advocate for themselves and seek proper care to address their hormonal health concerns.

"Ketogenic Diet Shows Promise for PCOS in Women"

A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials suggests that short-term ketogenic diets may improve reproductive hormone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The study found that ketogenic diets followed for 45 days to 24 weeks resulted in improvements in the luteinizing hormone (LH)/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio, serum free testosterone, and serum sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). However, the authors caution that lifestyle changes and a ketogenic diet should be discussed and planned carefully between patients and their healthcare providers. The study did not include pregnancy rates, but previous research has shown improved pregnancy rates in PCOS patients on ketogenic diets.
