Alchemy of Health Webinar Series – PCOS from a Brain and Hormone Perspective

Why is it important?

PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder among pre-menopausal women, affecting 20% of Australian women of child-bearing age.

Neurotransmitter imbalance can impact the severity of PCOS due to its association with insulin resistance, weight gain, and fertility. These women are 10 times more likely to have a diagnosis of infertility. Women who suffer with PCOS can experience hirsutism, hair loss, weight gain, acne, difficulty getting pregnant and depression.

PCOS sufferers are also at a much higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, mental health conditions, reproductive disorder and cancer of the lining of the womb, researchers at The University of Western Australia have found.
