Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age — yet many go undiagnosed or are left frustrated with conventional treatment options that focus solely on symptom management. If you’re in the Chicago or Glenview area and struggling with irregular cycles, unwanted weight gain, acne, or fertility issues, there’s a better way forward.
At Heal n Cure, Dr. Meena takes a root-cause, functional medicine approach to PCOS treatment — helping women regain hormonal balance, restore ovulation, and feel like themselves again.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that impacts how the ovaries function. It’s characterized by at least two of the following:
- Irregular or absent periods
- Excess androgen (male hormone) levels
- Polycystic ovaries (visible on ultrasound)
But PCOS isn’t just a reproductive issue — it’s often tied to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction, which can lead to symptoms such as:
- Weight gain, especially around the belly
- Fatigue and low energy
- Acne or oily skin
- Unwanted facial or body hair (hirsutism)
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression - Difficulty getting pregnant
The Problem with Conventional PCOS Treatment
In many cases, conventional medicine offers band-aid solutions like birth control pills to regulate periods or metformin to manage insulin resistance. While these can help short-term, they often don’t address the root imbalances driving PCOS — and they may even mask important symptoms your body is trying to communicate.
Dr. Meena’s approach at Heal n Cure goes deeper. Rather than silencing your symptoms, we work to understand and resolve the underlying dysfunctions that cause them in the first place.
A Functional Medicine Approach to PCOS
At Heal n Cure in Glenview, IL, we start by getting to know you. Your lifestyle, history, symptoms, lab results, and goals are all part of the puzzle.
We often see PCOS linked to issues such as:
- Insulin resistance (even in women who are not overweight)
- Chronic stress and adrenal dysfunction
- Gut health imbalances
- Estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency
- Thyroid disorders that can mimic or worsen PCOS symptoms
Through comprehensive lab testing, we identify the specific hormonal and metabolic imbalances affecting your body — and then create a personalized plan to correct them.
What PCOS Treatment Looks Like at Heal n Cure
Your custom PCOS treatment plan may include:
- Nutritional therapy to stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation
- Targeted supplements (e.g., inositol, magnesium, chromium, adaptogens)
- Hormonal balancing protocols, including bioidentical hormone support if needed
- Stress reduction techniques to support adrenal health
- Weight management guidance that focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes — not crash dieting
- Gut health optimization to support hormone detoxification
Our goal is to help you ovulate regularly, reduce symptoms, and restore your fertility and quality of life — naturally and sustainably.
