PCOS + Perimenopause is a different journey

PCOS + Perimenopause is a different journey

If you have PCOS and you’re entering perimenopause, your symptoms may look very different from women who never had a PCOS diagnosis.

Why? Because PCOS already comes with hormonal dysregulation (irregular ovulation, androgen excess, insulin resistance + inflammation).
Perimenopause adds estrogen + progesterone fluctuations on top of that… creating a unique storm 🌪️

Perimenopause without PCOS often looks like:
• Gradual cycle changes
• Mild PMS shifts
• Hot flashes + sleep changes

⚠️ PCOS Perimenopause can look like:
• MORE irregular cycles (or sudden heavy bleeding)
• Worsening PMS, anxiety, mood swings
• Severe migraines/headaches
• Hot flashes + night sweats that feel intense
• Weight gain around the belly (even with the same habits)
• Sugar cravings + energy crashes
• New or worsening acne, hair thinning, facial hair growth
• Sleep disruption + racing thoughts
• Low libido, vaginal dryness
• “Brain fog” + poor focus

🌿 Naturopathic support focuses on 4 pillars:

  1. Blood sugar balance (this is HUGE for PCOS)
  2. Reducing inflammation + cortisol spikes
  3. Supporting liver detox pathways (hormone clearance)
  4. Gentle hormone regulation + cycle support

Natural solutions that help:
• Protein-rich breakfast + mineral support daily
• Spearmint + nettle-style support for androgens
• Magnesium + nervous system calming herbs for migraines/sleep
• Seed cycling + cycle tracking (even if irregular)
• Gut support + anti-inflammatory teas
• Stress reduction = hormone medicine (yes, really)
