PCOS (PMOS) Case study

PCOS (PMOS) isn't a willpower problem.

This patient came to us in her late 30s exhausted, inflamed, struggling to lose weight no matter what she ate, with irregular cycles, pre-diabetic labs, and the quiet heartbreak of trying to conceive. Comprehensive testing revealed the root cause: insulin resistance driving her PCOS (PMOS). With a personalized protocol addressing the cause, not just the symptoms, her weight is moving, her cycles are regular, she's ovulating again, and her inflammatory markers are normal. She didn't need more discipline. She needed someone to actually listen. She didn't just feel better. She changed the trajectory of her health for the decades ahead.

Before

Before she walked through our doors she felt dismissed and shamed for her lack of progress.

She came to us in her late 30s, exhausted, inflamed, and quietly devastated that her body seemed to be working against her. Stubborn weight that wouldn't move no matter how clean she ate. Heavy periods that came and went unpredictably. Cystic acne that hadn't quit since her twenties.

Unsuccessful attempts to conceive. And a growing fear that something was very wrong, even though every provider she'd seen had told her she was "fine."

She wasn't fine. She was being missed.

Her personalized plan

Hormone & metabolic foundation

We addressed the hormonal imbalances of her PCOS (PMOS) at the source, restoring optimal levels of the hormones her body was missing, while supporting her body's ability to use insulin properly. Because in PCOS (PMOS), hormone health and metabolic health are inseparable.

Anti-inflammatory & supplement support

Chronic inflammation was driving her acne, fatigue, and stalled progress. We layered in pharmaceutical-grade supplements chosen specifically for her labs supporting gut health, reducing inflammatory markers, and giving her body the nutrients it needed to actually heal.

Insulin sensitivity support

With pre-diabetic glucose markers and elevated fasting insulin, restoring metabolic balance was non-negotiable. Her protocol included evidence-based therapies designed to improve insulin sensitivity, stabilize blood sugar, and shift her metabolism back toward healthy function.

Lifestyle & ongoing care

Sustainable change happens in the everyday. We built a lifestyle and nutrition plan around her real life, not an impossible standard and committed to quarterly follow-up labs so we could see her body responding in real time and refine her protocol as she healed.

She came in believing her body was broken. She's leaving with the knowledge that it never was, it was just out of balance, and no one had taken the time to look. Three months into her protocol, the woman she thought she'd lost is showing back up: clearer skin, regular cycles, a body that's finally responding, and a future that no longer feels like it's slipping out of reach.


“I 100% recommend going to see Dr. Ammons at Her NOVA Wellness! You will not regret it!

I have been seeing Dr. Ammons for my severe PCOS (PMOS). She is addressing things that I have begged my gyn & pcp to look into for years. I have more energy, less inflammation, sleeping through the night, and just significantly feel better overall. She has taught me so much about daily healthy living and longevity in life. Dr. Ammons has an amazing bedside manner, easy to talk to, and truly cares for her patients. She is passionate about her work, which in turn, leads to positive results for her patients.
