How to do a Mini Detox for PCOS

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

When you have PCOS it’s vitally important to minimise exposure to environmental chemicals, as many of them can disrupt your hormones and overall health. But minimising exposure often isn’t enough, as the Power Over PCOS book explains. To get the best health results, you also need to maximise elimination of these chemicals and waste products from your body, especially if you’re overweight, because fat cells act as storage sites for toxins. When you lose weight, these toxins are released, which can create a lot of stress within the body until they are eliminated. They can even cause you to have a ‘plateau’ in your weight loss.

You can enhance the elimination of toxins and wastes by performing a proper detoxification program. By proper, I mean one that is safe and clinically effective, not one of those rapid detox fads. The exact program I have used with myself and my patients is in my book, and is often the missing link in many PCOS treatment programs. Today I will share with you a shorter version of this program, what I like to call the ‘mini-detox’. Although I recommend doing the full program at least once, the mini-detox is a good program to do periodically to keep your body working well.

Can You Get Pregnant When You Have PCOS?

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The answer is “YES”.

Many women are told by doctors “You have PCOS… You won’t be able to have children”, but this is wrong. Yes it can be difficult for some, but not impossible.

There are many women who have gone on to become mothers, either naturally, or with the help of medical treatments.

Ideally, four to six months of natural health promoting treatments should be employed first, before resorting to invasive procedures. Even if you don’t achieve conception this way, your health will be in a much better state to prepare for treatments such as IVF.

To give your body the best chance of conceiving, you need to have optimal nutrition through diet AND supplements, aim towards a healthier body composition (losing fat can help fertility), remove excess toxins from the body via detoxification, and create the right mindset around conceiving… this means focusing on the outcome of what you want and believing it is possible.

A great way to believe that you can conceive, is to read success stories.

I have created a new ebook just for this purpose – to inspire you and show you that you CAN become a mother. It’s called CONCEIVABLE and you can download it here:
