Adrenal PCOS

Hello! You may have Adrenal PCOS!
But you are not alone, we got you!

What is Adrenal PCOS?

Adrenal PCOS occurs when the adrenal glands produce excess androgens (male hormones) in response to chronic stress. Unlike other forms of PCOS, this type is often driven by elevated cortisol levels.

Symptoms include

  • Fatigue,
  • Unexplained weight gain (particularly around the abdomen),
  • Anxiety,
  • Disrupted sleep.

Managing Adrenal PCOS focuses on stress reduction, adrenal support supplements, and lifestyle changes that promote relaxation and hormonal balance.

You are not your PCOS! 

While you may be having these PCOS symptoms, PCOS is manageable and you can live a full life with PCOS. Understanding your PCOS type is the first step, then adopting some lifestyle changes. 

Here is what to do, 

Step 1. Supplements 

Help your body heal itself using supplements. Recommended supplements are as below: 

  • Ashwagandga 
  • Inositol 
  • Magnesium Glycinate 
  • Vitamin D

Ashwagandha 

Adrenal PCOS is associated with fatigue, anxiety, and disrupted sleep. Ashwagandha focuses on stress reduction (cortisol), relaxation and hormonal balancing (lowering androgens) and acts as an adaptogen.

Inositol supports insulin sensitivity helping your body control blood sugar which can aid weight loss. It also helps with ovarian function regulating your period. Inositol is safe to take overr a long time. 

Magnesium Glycinate

Step 2: Let’s watch our nutrition 
Diet Recommendations 
  • Anti-Inflammatory Diet:
    • Focus on whole, unprocessed foods there are foods that come from a farm (animals or plants) not foods that come in a packet. Eat meat and plants that are not processed. Processed foods contain inflammation agents, that can make your PCOS worse. 
    • Healthy Fats – Avocados, olive oil, and fatty fish to reduce inflammation.
    • Avoid Refined Sugars and Carbs – Instead, get your healthy carbs from natural sources such as sweet potatoes, arrowroots, legumes, lentils etc, 
    • Increase Fiber Intake – Supports detoxification and hormone regulation (flaxseeds, chia seeds).
  •  Herbal Teas:
    • Get your herbal teas such as matcha, green tea, spearmint tea, dandelion and nettle teas to help fight inflammation.
  • Hydration:
    • Drink plenty of water and include electrolytes to support adrenal function.

Step 3. Lifestyle Changes

  • Stress Management:
    • Daily Relaxation Techniques – Yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and journaling.
    • Boundaries with Work and Personal Life – Prioritize rest and avoid burnout.
  • Exercise (But Not Overexertion):
    • Opt for low-impact exercises like pilates, swimming, or walking.
    • Avoid excessive cardio – It can elevate cortisol.
    • Strength Training – Helps improve insulin sensitivity without overtaxing the adrenals.
  • Prioritize Sleep:
    • 7-9 hours of sleep – Create a calming bedtime routine (magnesium or lavender tea can help).
  • Sunlight Exposure:
    • Daily sunlight exposure helps regulate circadian rhythm and cortisol balance.
