Dr. Nadia Pateguana & Dr. Jason Fung - 'Polycystic Ovary Syndrome'

Dr. Nadia Pateguana was born in Mozambique, but raised in Canada, where she completed her studies. She graduated from The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2004 and also has a Degree in Honours Biology from McMaster University.
Dr. Pateguana returned to her home country for a few years where she ran a multidisciplinary clinic as the Medical Director and Naturopathic Doctor. She currently, and proudly, works as a Dietary Educator with Dr. Jason Fung and Megan Ramos at the Intensive Dietary Management Program. Her special focus is on helping women with PCOS overcome infertility through dietary modifications.
Dr. Jason Fung completed medical school and internal medicine at the University of Toronto before finishing his nephrology fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles at the Cedars-Sinai hospital.
He now has a practice in Ontario, Canada where he uses his Intensive Dietary Management program to help all sorts of patients, but especially those suffering from the two big epidemics of modern times: obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Fung uses innovative solutions to these problems, realising that conventional treatments are not that effective in helping people.

I am so happy that Dr. Fung is speaking about PCOS! Thank you, Dr. Nadia Pateguana.

[@gracechan3039]

I had an endocrinologist that refused to diagnose me with PCOS despite having high testosterone and oestrogen, having ultrasound scan showing cists on my ovaries and irregular menstrual cycle, hirsutism, weight gain and hair loss. He said "Yes you have these symptoms but its not PCOS. Do regular exercise and eat better." He gave me a list of foods that I already was eating and I was exercising. That was the final encounter that made me take my health into my own hands. Do your own research. There are many fat idiot doctors out there.

[@michellepoire9845]

[@hematarundailydose6392]

Thank you sooo much it helps me a lot ❤️

[@sarahmurrell115]

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Fung's science-based explanations for metabolic diseases. People with big bodies, especially women, get brushed off constantly as just needing to eat less and exercise more. No one ever actually explains how our metabolisms work like this. Fat bias in medicine means we're treated like cows eating too much grass, not like people who just want to understand why we struggle so much to lose weight. Finally, a real answer.

[@chloetetrault-kearney7491]

I work in metabolic health coaching and I hear this same sentiment expressed so often as patient's experience. It is an actively harmful approach to human beings and their health, ignorant and void of compassion. I really hope this changes soon.

[@crazyladyof3]

It is interesting that Dr. Fung mentioned getting to the 'root cause' of the disease. I actually had a doctor tell me that I was looking for the "cause" and they (the doctors) didn't do that. They saw symptoms and treated that. I lost all respect for the medical community due that that. It is refreshing to hear there are doctors that actually do what I had sought.

[@anonymous_br3170]

I had a doctor tell me the same thing. It's crazy how doctors these days are useless. U have to research things on your own or turn to the internet for answers.

[@Tuya56]

Same experience here. In my early 20s, I got diagnosed with PCOS. I asked my doctor how to prevent infertility, diabetes, and heart disease while I’m in early stage and young. She said those things will happen in 10-20 years, why worry now, deal with it then and prescribed BC pills. Mind boggling and infuriating to think back now.

[@browneyezs92]

I had a doctor tell me something similar, she said I didn’t have enough symptoms to be diagnosed. Despite the fact that obviously something was wrong.

[@Mia-rn2gk]

True , I had the same experience, asked a doctor a while ago “why is this problem (arthritis) developing in my body?” She said there is no why, you just have to treat it and put up with it.

[@satindoll7300]

Unfortunately, there are alot of dumb doctors out here I'm not sure why people put them on a pedestal.

I am now 50 years of age with PCOS. I am finally understanding how and why my body got cancer at 41 years of age and how it was started from.

Oh Dr Fung where were you when I was diagnosed with PCOS 30 years ago? I was offered an ovarian wedge resection but declined it in the 1990s. That was the best explanation of PCOS that I have ever seen. I love the message that you are getting out to the community instead of pushing drugs like so many other doctors. I remember sitting in the endocrinologist office at the Obesity clinic at a major Australian hospital and there was a poster on the wall behind his head about PCOS. It stated that women with PCOS are 5 times more likely to have a heart attack and 11 times more likely to have a stroke by the time that they are 50 years old. I wished that someone had explained the connection between insulin and PCOS when my insulin level was 221. It is negligent practice.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in my 60's. And not because I never went to doctors. I had regular gyn checks, saw MD's and was told I'm hairy because I have a Mediterranean heritage. No discussion about weight, hypoglycemia issues I was having, cystic ovaries or anything else. They just didn't know. It's great to know this is better known. Now, I only hope mainstream medicine knows how to help younger women showing up in their clinics and offices and they teach these approaches in medical school and OB/GYN residency programs.

I have a feeling I have this condition, and it's really frustrating that my doctors never said anything. I brought up some symptoms I had with my skin, and I have hair growing on my chin...so I don't know why they never tired to look deeper. They just told me to use a lightening cream and to watch what I ate because it could lead to diabetes, but they never said why this caused anything I was going through. My sister probably has it too, and the doctors were trying to prescribe medicine to control her hormones. I feel both relieved and upset, relieved that I found the name to what I could be suffering from, and upset that so many doctors never told me anything about this condition. I'll make an effort to change my diet, I have a better understanding of the root cause, so now I know how to help my body work better for me, and ultimately feel better about myself. Either way, I need to lose weight, but at least I know more about why my body is the way it is. Thank you so much for this presentation!!

The information in many videos coming from Dr. Fung and partners lines up so well with the good science-based videos by others about the evils of fructose and dietary glucose. It is absolutely crazy how many health issues are associated with so-called insulin resistance, which I think seriously need re-naming. In hindsight, it all makes sense, tying all these disparate doctors and studies together is the challenge. Gut health is right up there too, and while I haven't seen him say it, the carbs Dr Fung recommends (high fibre) also are the ones good for gut health as I understand it. An all-around thumbs up. 👍

I eat one meal a day and I am happy that my weight remains stable with no effort, but it is oh so nice to be able to lose a couple of pounds fasting as I am still overweight. Apparently I am not close to diabetic, so I figure I am just very efficient with my bodies fuel. Thank you Dr Fung for the confidence to try longer fasts.

Insulin Resistance is related with around 50-70% of PCOS cases, so what about the part, who are NOT YET Insulin Resistant, but have PCOS with Hyperandrogenism already? So Insulin Resistance cannot always be the main root cause, often it is enhancer or kickstarter of underlying pcos. Interestingly lowering Insulin in non-Insulin Resistant pcos patients lowers Androgens, but not in controls, so low Insulin definitely helps. But it is not the main and only root cause. There are many different genetic and environmental causes for Hyperandrogenism. Very important one is Enchanced 5-alpha Reductase Activity, which turns Testosterone into most potent Androgen = DHT, which by many different pathways will make you and keep you Androgenic and cause PCOS without having Insulin Resistance (yet).

I was diagnosed with pcos and was given medication to induce menses. The doctor told me to induce it for every 2 months and told me to loose weight. I stated keto and my menses started to come back naturally (about 36th day cycle). Apart from loosing weight, getting my period back was a bonus. I don't have to depend on medication. Once i stopped keto my period started to get delayed from 36th day cycle to 40+th day cycle. I was worried and got back to keto again. On the side note, I have a few strands of hair on my chin before keto and it didn't go away after i started keto. I wonder why.... still too much testosterone?

[@itzakpoelzig330]

It's because hairs have two forms: vellus and terminal. All hairs on the body start out vellus, and appear thin and colorless like peach fuzz. Children have these all over. At puberty, many hair follicles morph into their terminal form. On women, it will be the armpit hairs and the pubic hairs, and on men it will be those as well as chest hair, leg hair, arm hair, and facial hair. Terminal hairs are thicker and darker. Women with hormonal disruptions like PCOS may have the male pattern of which hairs turn from vellus to terminal, or something like a male-female hybrid pattern. Unfortunately, once a hair follicle has switched from vellus to terminal, it can't go back. It's a one-way switch. However, individual follicles can be turned off entirely, by laser hair removal or electrolysis. Sometimes they can just give up from exhaustion too, if the same hair is plucked over and over and over again.

How is it possible to have normal sugar levels, be slim and yet have severe pcos? I do not get mine at all

[@Lilibear-1]

How do you know you have it? You can have some not all the symptoms but the most common one almost all women with pcos is insulin resistant and slow matabolism

[@mrsch6767]

What happens if you are not insulin resistant? Or do not have high insulin. My doctor has run all the tests and I am not insulin resistant, pre-diabetic or diabetic, I'm a little overweight but only just over healthy BMI. I have slightly elevated testosterone and Dr Fung has indicated that insulin is the issue here. I'm on low carb/no sugar now through choice but my Dr (who specialises in PCOS) has said I was likely born this way. So what the hell? I'm more confused now than at the start. I have conceived twice with clomid and I do not ovulate naturally, again Dr Fung suggests insulin is the issue. How can this be If all my tests are normal? Beyond frustrating!

[@rheidarisafa]

All the tests the doctors run look at blood sugar not insulin levels. So maybe you still have high insulin levels , but everything looks great like your blood sugar and your hA1c is normal.

I am looking for an answer to my question concerning einkorn wheat. My whole life, I've been an athlete...and had pcos. 8 years of infertility and somehow, the Lord blessed us with 2 boys. I have spent a lifetime eating well...but not necessarily low carb. My question is in regards to fasting and a low carb diet in relation to the ancient grain, einkorn. Studies are now showing that this genitically unmodified wheat variety can actually stave off type 2. It has a chemical make up that is totally opposite of modern wheat. It doesn't set off the bodies inflammation response, it is low glycemic and doesn't spike insulin( steady release), packed with vitamin B's, has 30% more protein than modern wheat, and has a much weaker gluten bond. There are probably more wonderful things about einkorn...but my question is....with doing OMAD and low carb, would einkorn wheat, noting it's obvious superiority over modern wheat, be something that I could add into my diet occasionally and still keep my insulin at a level that allow weight loss?

[@ashphoenix5269]

I guess it’s much better to have oats and quinoa as for high protein content and no gluten content at all comparing to eeinkorn

[@stefaniekofalt9828]

Where do you purchase Einkorn wheat???
