let’s talk about how to get rid of your

facial hair if you are female

the medical term for this is

hirsutism it follows more male pattern

where there’s hair on the face okay

there’s hair sometimes on the back

and the chest as well

now the number one cause of this

condition

is

pcos polycystic ovarian

syndrome okay there are other causes too

like you could have a tumor on your

adrenal glands or a tumor

on your pituitary gland you could also

have a condition called cushing’s

syndrome where your adrenals are pumping

out way too much cortisol okay and the

symptoms for pcos

are heavy cycles or no cycles acne

weight gain in the mid section deeper

voice

infertility they also say when you look

this up in wikipedia

insulin resistance

all because of high

androgens okay now normally women should

have some androgens but it shouldn’t be

excessive there’s usually lower amounts

of androgens and higher amounts of

estrogen now the reason you’re probably

watching this is because you have facial

hair and you’re trying to solve this

problem but it’s incredibly confusing

and i’m going to tell you why it’s

incredibly confusing

and

what to do about it now if you research

facial hair you’re going to stumble on

this pcos thing and then you’re probably

going to want to look at some

really credible

scientifically based

evidence

on this topic so you can do your

research so of course you’d go to

wikipedia which i’m being extremely

sarcastic because

this is like random.com who’s really

censoring information who’s allowing

certain information and

not allowing certain information

so it’s a crap shoot on wikipedia

especially if you’re looking at medical

information because wikipedia as far as

pcos will tell you that it’s genetic

or it’s environmental that’s probably

true that it’s causing something but not

necessarily high androgens those

plastics and chemicals are endocrine

disruptors but they’re they’re mainly

going to increase estrogen okay and if

you increase

estrogen you’re going to lower

androgen so you might even make a little

bit better and change the ratios but

probably not

but they will go on to say there’s no

cure okay but you can also in the

meantime take birth control pills so

again why would that work well you’re

increasing the ratios of estrogen and

hopefully bringing down

androgens

also metformin why would that work well

it’s going to help

reduce insulin by making insulin more

sensitive because it targets insulin

resistance but it has side effects

because it is a medication they also

recommend certain drugs that

make insulin more sensitive now as far

as the diet what they recommend

they recommend low gi foods so foods

that are low in the glycemic index which

makes total sense because obviously

there’s insulin resistance involved

right but of course the foods that they

recommend

will confuse you

fruit so why would eating fruits help

you lower

insulin it doesn’t it

raises insulin because they are sweet

okay they recommend vegetables and whole

grains

i hope someday someone will let me know

why eating whole grains

are good for

facial hair or pcos or lowering insulin

i’d like to know

because this turns into carbohydrates

very quickly and it’s going to raise

insulin okay but of course everything

you’re looking at now they always have

to recommend

whole grains okay now with pcos there

also is an association with

hyperinsulinemia that’s high insulin in

your bloodstream okay so

let’s go over to wikipedia and see what

they say about hyperinsulinemia okay

they say the cause comes from either

a neoplasm which is cancer pancreatic

cancer

trans fats

pcos which is very confusing so

basically they’re saying pcos

causes

high insulin in the blood

i mean that makes

no sense and now you’re going to be

really confused right

what’s the relationship there how could

pcos high levels of androgens actually

cause

hyperinsulinemia

it can’t it’s illogical

and then they recommend carb

malabsorption whatever the heck that

means okay you’re male absorbing your

carbohydrates

i have no clue what that means okay

but i’m glad they have a treatment

because the treatment is exercised okay

it’s metformin

and again they add the whole grains as

your diet whole grains beans and

definitely soy okay so that’s what you

should be eating if you have too much

insulin based on wikipedia so at this

point in your research you’re going to

be utterly completely confused simply

because you are doing your evaluation

from a bad source from the wrong source

okay wikipedia is not the best source of

data you should be

evaluating this problem on i’m going to

put some good references down below so

you can see these but here’s what’s

missing

on the wikipedia pages

when you increase insulin when you have

excess insulin

you’re going to get high androgens okay

high insulin causes

high levels of androgens which then

cause pcos which then give you

facial hair okay

that’s the connection high insulin is at

the root

of pcos

and facial hair and so the solution is

obviously to lower insulin and if you do

that and you look at this

everything

makes sense because as soon as you lower

insulin you lower androgens and guess

what happens your cycle comes back in

balance your acne goes away you become

more fertile okay and you also get rid

of insulin resistance so you’re going to

lose weight and also the fat cells will

stop producing this other thing it’s an

enzyme that’s called aromatase aromatase

is basically kind of this enzyme that

converts your testosterone to estrogen

so it raises your estrogen okay that’s

probably what’s behind this

no cycle infertility problem but

obviously this extra fat that’s making

this extra estrogen

is not necessarily countering the high

levels of androgen because the diet

needs to change to fix that now how do

you lower insulin okay

very simply you lower carbohydrates and

you lower the frequency of meals like

get rid of the snacks

up is right here
