in Salt Lake City
If your cycles are irregular, ovulation feels unpredictable,
or you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS and want
more than symptom suppression, this page is for you.
How Do I Know I Have PCOS?
Have your periods been unpredictable — sometimes skipping months, other times dragging on longer than expected?
Maybe you’ve noticed mood swings, pelvic discomfort, or unexplained weight gain.
Perhaps acne, thinning hair, or unusual hair growth on your face, chest, or back has become noticeable.
You’re not alone. PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) affects about 1 in 10 women and is a common, treatable cause of infertility.
PCOS arises from hormonal imbalances and metabolic differences that affect overall health and cycle function. These imbalances can alter your menstrual cycle — the egg may not mature properly, or ovulation may not occur as it should.
The “cysts” often mentioned aren’t problematic cysts; they are small follicles — normal structures containing eggs. When eggs aren’t released over time, it can affect the ovaries’ ability to produce key hormones and regulate your cycle.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
- Difficulty getting pregnant (infertility)
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Hirsutism (excess hair growth on the face, chin, or body)
- Acne on face, chest, or upper back
- Thinning hair or hair loss on the scalp (male-pattern baldness)
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Darkened skin along neck creases, groin, or under breasts (often linked to insulin resistance)
- Anxiety or depression
- Fatigue
- Elevated waist-to-hip ratio or obesity
What PCOS Actually Is
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal and metabolic condition involving disrupted ovulation and insulin signaling.
It is commonly associated with:
- Irregular or absent ovulation
- Elevated androgens
- Insulin resistance
- Ovarian cystic follicles
PCOS is not just a reproductive condition — it reflects deeper endocrine and metabolic imbalance.
Why PCOS Impacts Fertility
- Inconsistent or absent ovulation
- Impaired follicle maturation
- Insulin resistance affecting egg quality
- Hormonal imbalance disrupting cycle signaling
- Increased inflammatory burden
Without consistent ovulation and stable hormone signaling, conception becomes unpredictable. Even when ovulation occurs, egg quality and luteal phase strength may be compromised.
How Acupuncture & Integrative Care Helps
Treatment focuses on restoring ovulatory rhythm and improving metabolic signaling — not simply masking symptoms.
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Support regular ovulation
- Reduce androgen excess
- Improve ovarian blood flow
- Regulate stress hormones
- Support healthy luteal phase
Care is timed to your cycle and aligned with your fertility goals — whether natural conception or IVF preparation.

- Metabolic and hormonal focus
- Structured 12-week fertility optimization plan
- Integration with REI and conventional care
- Individualized evaluation before protocol design
