Do you have any recommendations for natural hair removal that are effective or any way that I can

curb my facial hair growth? The majority of women with PCOS have elevated levels of testosterone

and then a smaller percentage have elevated levels of DHEA sulfate, which is the adrenal hormone.

Until you get these androgens down, the hair growth will never stop.

You know, there's always another follicle somewhere, you know, and when you do laser, that's why they don't call it laser hair removal anymore.

They call it laser hair reduction. So it helps, but it's like for you, like it's never ending because there's always

another hair follicle. It's not typically killing all the hair follicles. It's sort of putting

them, it's like a stun gun. But if you have this great stimulus from all these androgens,

it just keeps generating new hair. So the only permanent hair removal is electrolysis. And unfortunately, it's sort of

becoming a dying art. I've met, I've actually spoken in front of electrolysis organizations,

and most of the women are in their 50s who are the practitioners of this art. And very few

younger people are training in it because they figure, you know, they're doing laser.

But for women with PCOS, the lasers are helpful, but it's never ending because the hair just keeps on coming.

Again, you got to get to the root of why that hair is doing.

So we have to lower the testosterone level.

Now, by fasting, by the way, will lower the levels of testosterone.

And regulate it. Yes. And when you do time restricted eating, for example, if you,

there was a study out of Israel and it was on lean PCOS, but I found it also works with any

woman with PCOS, if they're willing to do this. If they ate in this study two thirds of their calories for breakfast,

and then one third for lunch, and that leaves nothing,

but just a little bitty bit for dinner, very little.

So they ate a big breakfast, a medium lunch, and a tinsie, teensy dinner.
