I just started a new routine of green tea with fresh lemon, walnuts, almonds, tumeric, saw palmetto, licorice and reishi mishrooms first thing when I wake up. I’ve had PCOS since I was 14 and I can’t take it anymore.
The most informative PCOS video I've ever seen! Majority just stop at "this is caused by insulin resistance go keto blah blah blah" ignoring any other possible causes & ways to manage it ... so from the bottom of my heart I thank you!
Dr. Mitha, thank you so much for this very precise and extremely informative video. I've been strugguling with high testosterone for the past 15 years and Doctors that won't acknowledge my situation. Now I'm ready to meet a new OBGYN with the right information. I know exactly what to ask for, thanks to you. God Bless you.
Ive watched many many videos on PCOS and insulin resistance… this is the first one explaining the differences and importance of testosterone origin. Thanks alot
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen about explaining testosterone. What type of saw palmetto do you recommmend? I have PCOS and the facial hair growth is my biggest issue!
I feel like that’s what I’m going through I’m noticing a little bit more body hair has grown since I got older thinking it would lesson and my hair line and edges are thin and applying something topically isn’t working but I have regular periods and when I was younger my test blood work came back normal too
I think you should once go for test because even my period are regular but my facial growth is more and today only I got reports nd my testosterone level are more
Excellent quality information and thankyou for sharing your knowledge with the 🌎 world. I had no idea about Spearmint Tea . I knew about Licorice and Saw Palmetto. White Tea too.
I have had hair loss for about 11 years. Soon after my last child was born. My arms and legs are completely hairless and my head loses hair and is about half of what I used to have. I have changed my diet drastically. No sugar in any form. Plenty of fats and meats. I have started fasting as well because I am Insulin resistant and high blood sugar. It is extremely difficult to lose weight. I will consult about my testosterone levels soon. I also developed these bumps that inflame on my head. No one has given me answers. I think all is connected to diabetes and insulin resistance. I will drink more mint tea. What do you recommend I try to see if my hair bumps reduce? Thank you.

Hello Docteur, Can I start taking Saw Palmetto and other herbs while still taking the contraceptive pill (Yasmine) to already stabilize hormons before stopping and see all the symptom coming back ? Thank you very much for your answer.
Can you use saw palmetto during pregnancy? What can you do to keep testosterone down during pregnancy. I’m worried my testosterone and high AMH cause my last miscarriage Not sure how to find a doctor here that wants to help me find the root cause :( not just give me ovulation meds
I was trying to catch summer melo where can I find that? I have facial hair along the jaw line and neck, chest, tummy, breast etc.. What can I buy besides spearmint tea
Hi Dr Mirtha What would you recommend if the high Testosterone 192 comes from a pellet. I am under hormonal replacement and I found out that my testosterone level is to high Please let me know how can I reduce it Thanks
i had high dht and doctor gave me thre month contraceptiv jasmin i was 86 now i am 75 in a year but i still have hair growth in my face what diet do u recomend me? greetings from Albania
Lemme see if I can get some saw palmetto 🤝 I’ve been keto reset since September , all of my symptoms have simmered down incredibly (lost 50 pounds so far) but my hair growth has been INSANE. It could be from the high intake of protein 🤔 imma talk to my pcp about running some test before I jump the gun.
Very good nd informative video. I have some symptoms like..Body hair growth, heavy head hairfall, lumps in armpit, occasionally excessive headache for 24 hours, dirty feeling... etc And I don't know which testosterone of mine has increased n fluctuated.? In my area Dr are dumb, says your report is normal. Suffering 😢
Hi Dr. Samina I have purchased a saw palmetto fruit extract (540mg) from a natural foods store. Is this dose too high? would it lower my estrogen? Do you think the one with fatty acids at 320 mg is better?
I dnt hv pcos periods r regular testoaterone level came fine.. bt i hv hair loss .. chronic cystic acne since years . . N high stress levels . Every dr. Has failed to diagnose what actually ia causing all this .
PCOS is a metabolic problem you need ro fix your diet for it to go away it can be insulin pcos ,adrenal pcos or inflammation pcos but is a related to diet and bad habits is not a big deal if you start taking care of your self, low carb ,fasting, and exercise lose fat and problem solved the more fat you have the more hormonal problems you will have simple
@Dr. Samina Mitha, ND Very helpful video and channel. Have you successfully treated a patient (or know of one who on their own), using Ayurvedic herbs such as shilajit and triphala?
If my cycle is always as a clock on time, but I’m loosing hair as crazy (the hair line is wide and you can see the 1 cm of skin), on my chin I noticed darkening hair and my breast has been flat the entire life. What to do?
First thing I would do is get some lab work to see where the testosterone is coming from. A full list would be free and total testosterone, androstenedione, dheas and DHT. Then a treatment plan can be determined. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
I have unwanted hair growth on chin area. This make me very very embarasing. Every day i feel very bad pls mam plz suggest me something. I am very worried.
