Pcos & Insulin Resistance

PCOS & Insulin Resistance - The Complete Ayurvedic Guide

In today’s modern lifestyle, where quick fixes often take priority over health, a silent health issue is spreading rapidly – insulin resistance. Once known mainly as an early sign of type 2 diabetes, it is now recognized as a key factor behind many other health problems. This makes it one of the most important concerns of the 21st century.

But what exactly is insulin resistance, and how does Ayurveda provide answers that modern science is still exploring?

PCOS and Insulin Resistance – An Overlooked Connection

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often experience symptoms like irregular periods, skin problems, and fertility challenges. What many don’t realize is that insulin resistance is also very common in PCOS, with studies showing that nearly 70% of women with PCOS may face it.

Insulin is a hormone that helps move glucose from the blood into cells for energy. In insulin resistance, the body does not respond well to this hormone, causing blood sugar levels to rise. Over time, this can progress into type 2 diabetes. In fact, women with PCOS are about four times more likely to develop diabetes compared to those without PCOS.

Ayurveda explains this as the build-up of “Ama” (toxins) in the body. These toxins disturb the Kapha dosha, which then interferes with the normal function of insulin.

How Insulin Resistance Affects PCOS

Research shows that insulin resistance and PCOS feed into each other. High insulin levels can increase testosterone production in the ovaries, which disrupts ovulation and worsens PCOS symptoms. At the same time, weight gain caused by insulin resistance makes the problem even more severe.

It becomes a vicious cycle – the more insulin resistant you are, the more PCOS symptoms you develop, and the more weight you gain, the worse the insulin resistance becomes.

Ayushakti’s Ayurvedic Approach

At Ayushakti, treatments are designed to break this cycle naturally. By following a personalized combination of diet, lifestyle changes, herbs, and detox therapies, the root cause of insulin resistance and PCOS can be addressed.

Diet Recommendations

1. Eat more fresh vegetables (60%) and plant-based proteins (30%) like lentils, beans, peas, and mung.

2. Include whole grains such as oats, quinoa, and brown rice for energy and hormone balance.

3. Add fertility-boosting foods like yams, berries, and leafy greens for vitamins, antioxidants, and folic acid.

Avoid sugary drinks, refined flour, fatty meats, excess sodium, smoking, and alcohol.

Lifestyle Recommendations

1. Practice meditation and yoga for emotional balance.

2. Do 30–45 minutes of daily exercise like walking, swimming, or cardio to improve insulin sensitivity.

3. Specific yoga poses such as Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) help regulate hormones and improve metabolism.
