Inositol and PCOS



Inositol and PCOS

Even if you do not have PCOS, Myoinositol is proving to be beneficial for Fertility. Between stress and the modern American diet, we all have degrees of subclinical Metabolic syndrome. Most of us love our carbs. Even on a Paleo regimen, when you have waited too long to eat and your body is screaming for food but your too famished to prepare that protein satisfying, dish with vegies, you may find yourself like me, grabbing an apple with almond butter because lo and behold you waited too long to eat, despite a quick energy pick up that is never sustaining, so you just eat more quick carbs. This use to be my trend of eating. Hence relying on carb support for energy, creating an underlying set up for more insulin output, leading to more insulin resistance or poor insulin receptivity within the cells. For me this led to my gum disease. Had I continued eating this way and not found Paleo, I might even have diabetes by now. Dont' be fooled that eating natural sugars like fruit, honey, stevia or natural maple syrups is better. In fact, fructose is sometimes harder on the liver if eaten in excess. Lesson most of us Americans need to learn, to prevent this cycle, is, don't wait to eat and do not skip protein, fat rich meals so you do not get to the point that your blood sugar is dipping. Yes, I said fats cause they are what really sustain your hunger, like bone broth. And be sure to include plenty of water soluble greens and root vegetables as your best source of carbs. Prepare ahead of time. You will feel less burnt out and more balanced. Even hypo-glycemia can lead to pre-diabetic issues. Perhaps Myoinositol can help with the cascading events that can lead to subclinical or full fledged clinical issues of PCOS and other ovarian issues of infertility and insulin resistance but I always say start with diet first.
