THPCOS fatigue is REAL 🥲
Hormonal changes that take place in women with PCOS affect how their body utilizes insulin. You might be aware of how important insulin is for managing our glucose levels!
With the resistance and overproduction of insulin common with PCOS, blood sugar levels can fluctuate, with the body not getting enough sugar and then reacting by flooding the system with insulin just to get a small amount 😧
This can lead to women with PCOS feeling shaky, experiencing mood swings, and MAJOR fatigue. This usually happens after eating, or more commonly known as the ‘afternoon slump’, when combined with naturally lower energy levels.
Here are some things you can do-
💊Take supplements like L-Carnitine and B-Complex.
📈 Manage your insulin levels by adopting a low glycemic index diet.
🔍Check Thyroid levels regularly.
🧲 An iron deficiency could be adding/causing low levels of energy too so check with your physician on supplementation for the same if you are deficient.
