But there is an underlining unifying physiological pathway that can explain PCOS, infertility, and ovarian cancer. That would be disruption of growth factor pathways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact disruption of healthy growth factors, and the promotion of growth factors that lead to unchecked abnormal cell growth probably plays a role in uterine cancer as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth factors can be expressed in a cell, within cells, and as a serum factor between organs and regulate how our genes are expressed and function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to have healthy cancer fighting mechanisms, as cell changes with time and aging will crop up that, if left unchecked, can lead to a cancer. We have called these &#8216;gatekeepers&#8217; and &#8216;caretakers&#8217;. In the simplest examples of how we prevent PCOS, infertility, and ovarian cancer, you need one set of genes to keep cells healthy, the other set to keep unhealthy factors away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complex yes, and part of keeping this balance is to optimize your nutritional hormonal health. Come in for testing, and to discuss whether your hormonal health is optimal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Underling risks in PCOS and Infertility are the disorders of ovulation resulting in too few cycles with healthy ovulation.
