what is PCOS?
PCOS is a common hormone disorder that affects 5 to 10 per cent of women of reproductive age. Recent research shows that a root cause is insulin resistance. This means your body doesn’t respond to normal levels of this hormone, so your body pumps out excessive amounts as it tries to control your blood sugar. Unfortunately, over time, high levels of insulin are linked to infertility, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
