In the latest episode of "What The Gut," we unravel the complexities of women's health, focusing on PCOS, hormone imbalances, and fertility. Dr. Krystalyn Lowery is joining us, a formidable advocate in the field and the founder of Navigate Wellness. Her approach pivots from traditional medical methods, diving into functional medicine to identify root causes rather than masking symptoms.
Understanding PCOS and Hormonal Health
Dr. K's journey began with a firm grounding in genetics, where she witnessed firsthand the lack of inquiry into 'why' certain health issues occurred. This curiosity propels her current mission of questioning the conventional approach to conditions like PCOS, where birth control is often used as a one-size-fits-all solution.
The Quest for Holistic Healing
For Dr. K, the turning point was discovering the broader medical community's reluctance to explore alternative approaches. After a profound transition from Western medicine to a functional practice, she stresses the importance of personalized health journeys. Clients benefit from this tailored approach, reclaiming control over their health and body.
Beyond Birth Control: Misconceptions and Realities
One of the significant discussions in the episode revolves around the role of birth control as a management tool for PCOS. Women often receive it as a default treatment without understanding the full scope of its effects on long-term health.
Preparing for Motherhood: The Role of Timing and Nutrition
Dr. K advises on the importance of preconception preparation, emphasizing a year-long build-up towards pregnancy. Acknowledging the male factor in fertility, she highlights the necessity of including partners in consultations. The focus is not just on achieving pregnancy but ensuring the body is prepared to sustain it.
A New Narrative for Women's Health
In wrapping up, Dr. K reinforces the urgent need for more robust support systems and education across wellness categories – from diet to lifestyle adjustments. She has initiated a program, "From PCOS To Preconception Prepped," designed to educate and empower women through a holistic lens.
