Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormone conditions in women of reproductive age, yet many women spend years being told to simply "lose weight" or "take the pill" without anyone explaining what is happening in their body. At JennWell, PCOS care starts with listening, a thorough history, and targeted lab work that looks at androgens, insulin, glucose, thyroid and lipid markers together.
Because PCOS is closely linked with insulin resistance, Jennifer Neilan, WHNP, approaches it as a metabolic and hormonal condition. Your plan may combine nutrition and movement strategies you can actually sustain, cycle-regulating options, insulin-sensitizing medication when appropriate, and support for skin and hair concerns. The goal is to restore predictable cycles, protect long-term heart and metabolic health, and help you feel like yourself again.
Concerns we help with
- Irregular or absent periods
- Insulin resistance & prediabetes
- Stubborn weight gain
- Hormonal acne
- Hair thinning or excess hair growth
- Fertility planning with PCOS
