St. George, Utah · Functional Medicine & Acupuncture
Dr. Justin Lane addresses the root causes of PCOS — hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, and inflammation — using functional medicine and acupuncture, naturally.
PCOS affects an estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age — yet often goes undiagnosed for years. These are the signs our patients most commonly describe.
PCOS is not a single disease — it is a syndrome driven by multiple overlapping imbalances. Functional medicine identifies and addresses each one.
The most common driver. When cells don't respond to insulin, the body produces more — signaling the ovaries to produce excess androgens.
High testosterone and DHEA disrupt the menstrual cycle, cause acne and hair changes, and prevent normal ovulation — a hallmark of PCOS.
Low-grade systemic inflammation stimulates androgen production and disrupts hormonal signaling, perpetuating the PCOS cycle.
An imbalanced gut microbiome affects estrogen metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation — all central to PCOS.
Chronic stress dysregulates adrenal glands and brain-ovary communication, worsening androgen excess and hormonal chaos.
Thyroid disorders frequently co-occur with PCOS and worsen every symptom. A comprehensive thyroid evaluation is part of our PCOS workup.
Hormonal birth control is commonly prescribed for PCOS — and while it can temporarily suppress symptoms, it does not treat the underlying condition. When women stop taking it, PCOS symptoms often return, sometimes worse than before.
The same is true of Metformin — it addresses insulin resistance but leaves the inflammatory, gut, and adrenal drivers untouched.
Full hormone panel, fasting insulin, blood glucose, thyroid markers, inflammatory markers, and gut health assessment.
Targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement protocols to restore insulin sensitivity — the most impactful lever in most PCOS cases.
Acupuncture supports the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, promotes regular ovulation, and reduces androgen levels.
Healing the gut microbiome and reducing systemic inflammation addresses the downstream hormonal disruption that sustains PCOS.
