64 – A Functional Approach to Treating PCOS


Listen Later

“Think of PCOS symptoms like the rays of the sun. They’re all peripheral to that one pivotal central situation, which is your hormone imbalance.”  -Dr. Margarita Ochoa-Maya, MD

Dr. Margarita Ochoa-Maya, MD is a functional endocrinologist, author, PCOS Diva, and personal friend of mine. She joins the podcast to explain why a functional integrative approach to PCOS can be the most effective treatment. If you are looking for a way to treat PCOS which considers your type of PCOS and aims to treat the cause instead of only individual symptoms, listen in as we discuss:

  • The difference between an endocrinologist and a functional integrative approach
  • The role of biology and micro and macro nutrient levels
  • Facilitating the elimination of excess hormones which can relieve acne, hair loss, and more
  • Emotional and spiritual health as an important component of biological health
  • How to develop the best doctor patient relationship
  • I start with a diet plan, an exercise plan, a mood plan, a sleep plan, and then we also use supplements to further supplement our food and nutrition, and then we come to the use of prescriptions.” -Dr. Margarita Ochoa-Maya, MD
