Why Choose Us as Your PCOS Specialist in Portland?
PCOS affects up to 1 in 5 women of reproductive age and presents in a variety of ways—from irregular cycles and acne to hair growth, weight gain, and infertility. Unfortunately, many people are told to “just go on the pill” or “lose weight,” without ever understanding the deeper causes behind their symptoms.
At Inner Gate, we take a root-cause, individualized approach to PCOS care. We recognize that PCOS is not one-size-fits-all—it has multiple subtypes, each requiring a different strategy. Whether your PCOS is driven by insulin resistance, inflammation, adrenal imbalance, or post-pill rebound, we create a treatment plan tailored to your body and your goals.

How PCOS Care Works with Us
We begin with comprehensive lab testing to identify your specific PCOS pattern. PCOS is often influenced by:
- Insulin resistance, which contributes to ovarian androgen production and metabolic dysfunction
- Chronic inflammation, which disrupts hormone signaling and ovulation
- HPA axis (nervous system) dysregulation, where chronic stress leads to elevated DHEA or cortisol, mimicking PCOS symptoms
- Thyroid dysfunction, often overlooked but common in PCOS presentations
- Post-birth control PCOS, where hormone suppression has masked or disrupted ovulatory function
Your care plan may include:
- Nutrition strategies to improve insulin sensitivity, such as low-glycemic or anti-inflammatory diets
- Herbs and supplements like inositol, berberine, or saw palmetto to support ovulation and hormone balance
- Stress and nervous system support, using adaptogens, lifestyle strategies, and acupuncture to regulate cortisol and DHEA
- Cycle tracking and fertility optimization if pregnancy is a goal
- Weight-neutral support, recognizing that metabolic health and symptom relief do not depend on a number on the scale
