PCOS Treatment and Care
Comprehensive, Holistic Care for Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

At Well Rooted Women, we understand that managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be a complex and frustrating journey. PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders among women, affecting everything from menstrual health to fertility, weight, and overall wellness. Whether you are struggling with irregular periods, cysts, hormonal imbalances, or fertility issues, we offer holistic, integrative treatments designed to address the root causes of PCOS and help you regain balance and health. Serving St. Charles, Chicagoland, and beyond, our team of compassionate providers is dedicated to empowering you to take control of your PCOS and improve your overall health and quality of life.

Understanding PCOS

PCOS is a condition where the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of male hormones (androgens), which can lead to symptoms like:

  • Irregular Periods or absence of menstruation
  • Ovarian Cysts
  • Acne and oily skin
  • Excess Hair Growth (Hirsutism) on the face, chest, or back
  • Thinning Hair or Hair Loss
  • Weight Gain or Difficulty Losing Weight
  • Infertility or Difficulty Conceiving

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance, and while there is no cure, with proper management, the symptoms can be alleviated, and fertility can be restored.

Holistic Treatment for PCOS at Well Rooted Women

At Well Rooted Women, we take a comprehensive, holistic approach to treating PCOS. Our goal is not only to manage your symptoms but to address the underlying imbalances causing your condition. We combine conventional treatments with integrative and functional medicine practices to create a personalized care plan that works for you.

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Testing

To understand the specifics of your PCOS, we perform a thorough assessment, including:

  • Hormonal Blood Tests: To evaluate your levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other key hormones that influence PCOS.
  • Pelvic Ultrasound: To check for ovarian cysts or other structural issues that may contribute to your symptoms.
  • Insulin Resistance Testing: Since many women with PCOS also experience insulin resistance, which can affect metabolism and weight management.
  • Thyroid Function Testing: Thyroid imbalances can mimic or exacerbate PCOS symptoms, so we test thyroid function to rule out any additional factors.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We offer a variety of treatments and therapies that are customized to help balance hormones, regulate cycles, and support overall well-being:

  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): Helps restore hormonal balance, alleviate symptoms like irregular periods, and manage weight gain.
  • Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling: Diet plays a key role in managing PCOS. We provide guidance on eating a balanced diet to support hormone health, reduce inflammation, and manage insulin resistance.
  • Exercise Plans: Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine to help with weight management and improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Supplements and Herbal Remedies: Targeted supplements, including inositol, omega-3 fatty acids, and spearmint tea, may help regulate hormones, reduce excess hair growth, and improve menstrual health.
  • Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Studies have shown acupuncture can improve menstrual regularity and reduce symptoms of PCOS.
  • Fertility Support: If you’re struggling with infertility due to PCOS, we offer fertility support treatments, including lifestyle modifications, ovulation stimulation, and more.

Emotional and Psychological Support

We recognize the emotional toll that PCOS can take on your mental health, especially when dealing with infertility or unwanted physical changes. At Well Rooted Women, we offer a supportive and compassionate environment to discuss these concerns, and our team is here to guide you through the emotional aspects of living with PCOS.

We absolutely loved this place. Everybody was very nice and accommodating. Viktoria took her time to listen all our concerns and respond to all our questions. She did so well in explaining everything. The facility is very clean and nice. It was pleasure visiting this office.

We have used Jessica for several years now. She takes time and care when seeing her patients. My husband and I will always feel like she saved our baby. Our youngest was sick and then ended up with RSV and pneumonia. It was Jessica who kept in touch with and made sure our daughter received the best care.

This practice is incredible! They are very friendly and welcoming. I was recommend to this practice from a relative and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve taken my son here twice so far and they have been great with him. What I also like is that it is a judgement free office. They respect my decisions regarding my son and always give me the best advice and service. They’ve answered all of my questions and concerns as well as took their time with us during our visit. Highly recommend!

Valerie and the entire team at well rooted have been an intergral part of my sons health journey. After visiting multiple Drs and not receiving a clear answer, I was at a complete loss on how to help my son. After our initial meeting with Valerie, I immediately knew we were at the right place! Not only did she take the time to listen but reassured both my son and I that we would get to the root cause of the issue. It hasn’t been a quick fix, however, after 6 months my son was feeling better and back to himself and I couldn’t be happier! Valerie didn’t just put a bandaid on the situation, but truly got to the root cause. I’m hopeful for my sons future and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Val and the entire staff at well rooted. I feel truly blessed to have found them and highly recommend them to any parent who has been let down by the traditional health care system.
