Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats PCOS as reversible metabolic and hormonal disorder, not lifelong syndrome requiring birth control. Root cause is INSULIN RESISTANCE in most cases—high insulin drives androgen production. Protocol: 1) Reverse insulin resistance (therapeutic carb restriction, intermittent fasting), 2) Support ovulation naturally (inositol, vitex), 3) Reduce androgens (saw palmetto, spearmint, DIM), 4) Heal gut (affects estrogen metabolism), 5) Reduce inflammation, 6) Weight loss if overweight, 7) Address adrenal component if present. Goal: restore natural ovulation, regular cycles, balance hormones, improve fertility—many women reverse PCOS completely.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Birth control pills (suppress symptoms, don't treat root cause), Metformin (insulin sensitizer), Spironolactone (anti-androgen for acne/hair loss), Clomid or letrozole (induce ovulation for fertility), laser hair removal, symptomatic treatments.
Birth control pills suppress natural hormone production, don't address insulin resistance (worsens metabolic dysfunction long-term), stop pill and all symptoms return, increased risk of blood clots, Metformin has GI side effects and depletes B12, conventional approach doesn't focus on root cause (insulin resistance), minimal dietary intervention ('eat less, move more'—inadequate), doesn't address gut health, inflammation, environmental toxins, many women told 'lose weight' but not given effective tools (low-carb diet, IF far superior to calorie restriction).
