There are various natural remedies for abdominal weight gain but if you have PCOD we have to get that under control to ensure effective weight loss. When were you diagnosed?
Definitely meet with a Naturopathic doctor to discuss evaluation methods and treatments to get to the root cause of the problem Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
The short answer is yes, you can lose abdominal fat with natural medicine. The long answer is with PCOS, it is much more than taking a supplement to help with fat loss. We work with you to tailor your diet and exercise to your needs and balance your hormones naturally because the root cause is your hormones &/or insulin resistance depending on the type of PCOS.
Go see a Naturopath who can evaluate your problem if it is due to PCOD they will help you . I cannot give you accurate help in an e mail.
If the weight gain truly is due to PCOD as you mentioned, getting your hormones in balance is the best place to start. It will help both your weight management as well as your PCOD! For that, I would recommend seeing a local practitioner for assistance.
Hormonal weight is usually all abdominal. An ND that specializes in that department can definitely help you.
The only way to reduce weight is to reduce caloric intake and there is no such thing as spot reduction. So this would need to be addressed through proper diet.
Find a skillful naturopathic doctor.
Medication is NOT always the answer, but shifting food preferences may very well be the answer as in the "Whole 30 Diet."
Yes, ensuring that you are getting rid of toxic estrogens is essential. Products like Indole 3 carbinols, calcium D glucurate, and glutathione can help with this, and often you will see a reduction in the weight around the middle.
Regulating the hormone imbalance that is found with PCOD and managing blood sugar. Blood sugar imbalance, which is commonly seen with PCOD, can lead to an increase in abdominal size.
See a doctor trained in working with hormones. Work with that doc to find a natural solution to what may be a hormonal imbalance. Did you know high stress raises the cortisol, or stress hormone, levels, which can affect blood sugar and create that weight gain?
Yes, of course. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a hormonal problem, mainly the estrogen. Estrogen after being used by the cells is broken down into three substances: the 16-hydroxy is the bad one; the 2-hydroxy is the good one; and 4-hydroxy could become good or bad. It is best to know where your problem is by having your blood tested. If your GP is good enough to help you, ask him to get the tests. Are you on the contraceptive pill? As it will interfere with the tests.
I think you mean PCOS? Typically when I approach PCOS I run labs looking at Estradiol, Total Estrogens, Progesterone, Free Testosterone, DHEA and looking at blood sugars. Depending on these findings then I have a better idea what natural agent would be best. Most PCOS patients can benefit from Berberine which has similar actions to Metformin, NAC and Myoinositol.
