PCOS Assessment & Treatment Root-Cause Care for Hormonal Balance, Metabolic Health & Fertility Support
AboutAt Seattle BioBalance, we provide comprehensive PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) assessment and treatment for women seeking clarity, symptom relief, and long-term hormonal and metabolic health.
PCOS is not a one-size-fits-all condition. It is a complex hormonal and metabolic syndrome that requires individualized care. Our precision-medicine approach integrates advanced hormone testing, metabolic evaluation, genomics, and lifestyle-based interventions to address the root causes of PCOS—not just the symptoms.
What Is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 1 in 10 women and is commonly associated with:
Irregular or absent periods
Elevated androgens (testosterone)
Insulin resistance
Ovarian cysts (not always present)
PCOS often impacts metabolism, fertility, mood, skin, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Many women go years without a proper diagnosis or are told their only options are birth control or weight loss.
We offer a broader, more personalized path.
Common Symptoms of PCOS
-
Irregular, infrequent, or absent menstrual cycles
-
Difficulty conceiving
-
Excess facial or body hair
-
Thinning hair or hair loss
-
Difficulty losing weight
PCOS does not present the same way in every woman, and there are multiple subtypes, including insulin-resistant, inflammatory, stress-related, and post-pill PCOS. Identifying your specific subtype allows for more targeted, effective, and sustainable treatment.
Our Comprehensive PCOS Assessment
-
Advanced Hormone Testing
Advanced Hormone Testing allows us to evaluate the full hormonal picture, including total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, LH and FSH, estradiol, progesterone, SHBG, prolactin, and thyroid function.
This comprehensive approach helps distinguish PCOS from other hormonal disorders and guides more precise treatment decisions.
-
Metabolic and Insulin Resistance Evaluation
Metabolic and Insulin Resistance Evaluation is essential, as insulin resistance is a primary driver of PCOS. We assess fasting insulin and glucose, HbA1c, lipid markers, and inflammation to identify metabolic dysfunction and support meaningful symptom improvement.
-
Genomic and Nutrigenomic Testing
Genomic and Nutrigenomic Testing provides insight into genetic predispositions related to insulin sensitivity, androgen metabolism, inflammation, and detoxification pathways, allowing for highly personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
-
Whole-System Assessment
Whole-System Assessment looks beyond the ovaries to evaluate gut health, stress and cortisol patterns, sleep quality, nutrient deficiencies, and exercise tolerance, recognizing that PCOS affects the entire body.
