Julian Healthcare Newsletter: PCOS Edition
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormone imbalances in women and one of the most misunderstood. While it often presents with symptoms like irregular periods, acne, unwanted hair growth, or difficulty getting pregnant, the root causes of PCOS go much deeper. Blood sugar imbalances, inflammation, gut health issues, and stress can all play a role.
The good news? PCOS is treatable, especially when a root-cause, functional medicine approach is taken. This month, we’re diving into how we help women with PCOS.
Keep reading to learn more about a supplement we are loving that’s designed to support metabolic function, our favorite hormone book recommendation, two brand-new blog posts, clinic news and updates, and a few announcements just for our members. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS or simply suspect your symptoms might be hormone-related, we hope this month’s resources bring you clarity, encouragement, and practical next steps.

“
Walk after meals for 10–15 minutes, give the blood sugar a job fueling muscle contractions! This can dramatically reduce post-meal insulin spikes and support ovulation, energy, and weight management without stressing the body like intense workouts sometimes do.

Supplement Spotlight
InosiCare is in the spotlight this month! Hormonal and metabolic imbalances can affect multiple aspects of well-being, influencing everything from energy levels and mood to weight management and glucose control. InosiCare is designed to target these interconnected systems, offering comprehensive support for healthy insulin function, balanced glucose levels, and optimal gut microbiome health.
The combination of myoinositol and D-chiro inositol (40:1 ratio), resistant starch, and essential trace minerals has been extensively studied for its role in improving metabolic and hormonal health. Together, these ingredients create a synergistic effect, helping individuals achieve balanced energy, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and better overall metabolic function.
You can find it on Fullscript.
