PCOS & Acne Naturopath Lindsay
After graduating from SSNT university in my 20s I was so focused on everyone else’s health that I neglected my own. I had acne occurring on the lower part of my face.
Painful cystic acne, some days my skin would be so inflamed I would often put ice packs on my face to calm it down. My periods were MIA, maybe they would come, maybe I wouldn’t see them for six+ months. They were so heavy I would flood through pads and tampons. Working big hours at the time, I would fuel myself on empty white calories, I was struggling big time to maintain a healthy weight. Really struggling to break the cycle of breakouts, carbs, and weight fluctuations or regulate my period. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2012. My GP’s solution, is the pill, metf0rmin and d0xycycline.
No. I am a Naturopath I knew I could support my body back to balance. So I used my tools to get my health back on track. My 30th birthday was on the horizon, the time had come to take a deeper look into my health. I was ready to focus on my health. I went to my GP for a check-up, and I got my blood tests done and an ultrasound. The sonographer casually mentioned my ovaries looked like a bunch of grapes. Pleasant. So I kept a food diary, I kept a period log, and I started taking liquid herbs and supplements every dam day. Then I found an exercise I loved that didn’t feel like a chore. I decluttered my life, work, space and people. I put myself first… you can’t pour from an empty cup. Lo and behold I got better, after 6 months I now had a 29-day menstrual cycle. I had pain free periods. I lost 30kg. My skin cleared up. I slept well and I felt happy.
What I learned; health takes time, health happens when you are ready and health is about the balance of mind body and soul.
