Concern
PMOS Treatment in Marylebone
If you've been told to 'just lose weight' or to 'come back when you want to conceive', you deserve more. PMOS, the condition you may know as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affects around 1 in 10 UK women of reproductive age (NICE), and it can be managed. We support cycle regulation, insulin-sensitising nutrition, and stress-axis work, alongside your GP or endocrinologist.
Overview
Understanding polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (pmos)
PMOS is diagnosed when at least two of the three Rotterdam criteria are met:
- Irregular or absent ovulation.
- Raised androgens (male-type hormones), seen in symptoms or blood tests.
- A polycystic ovary appearance on ultrasound.
It is hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive at once. Many women have insulin resistance, and with it a higher long-term risk of type 2 diabetes. NICE-aligned management combines weight management where relevant, insulin-sensitising nutrition, and, for those trying to conceive, ovulation-induction medication.
Integrative care works on the same drivers, alongside your GP or endocrinologist and never in place of prescribed medication: acupuncture is studied as an adjunct for cycle regulation and ovulation, and nutritional therapy targets the metabolic picture. Most women see us through fertility acupuncture or the 12 Weeks Fertility Reset Protocol, often as part of wider fertility care.

Claudia provides the best lymphatic drainage massage in London. She can scan your body like no one else. I almost fell asleep during my 90-minute session — the time flew by. Thank you Claudia!
Claudia is a true healer! I arrived very tense after a long flight and she was able to help calm and reset my nervous system. I highly recommend the 1-hour lymphatic massage.
I had a great lymphatic drainage session with Claudia. After having sinus surgery to remove polyps and dealing with congestion, I felt so much better after the session. Highly recommend!
Claudia is wonderful. Her treatments are incredibly relaxing. She is attentive and asks questions ahead of time to be more targeted during the sessions. Her treatment rooms promote a sense of calm. I would highly recommend her!
Integrative PMOS care can help to:
Regulate your cycle
Acupuncture is studied for cycle regulation and ovulation in PMOS, and sessions are timed to whatever cycle you currently have. Most women see partial regulation within 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment: we track cycle length and basal body temperature at every visit, so progress is visible.
Improve insulin sensitivity
Insulin resistance drives the ovarian testosterone production that disrupts ovulation, which is why nutrition leads the metabolic work. Insulin-sensitising changes often shift faster than ovulation does: waist measurement and blood markers usually move first, and cycle regularity follows them.
Calm the stress axis
Chronic cortisol blunts the signalling that triggers ovulation, so stress is not a side issue in PMOS. It is one of the three drivers we work on. Acupuncture is studied for exactly this kind of stress-axis work, and many clients find the sessions themselves deeply settling.
Support conception when you are ready
For women with PMOS trying to conceive, the 12 Weeks Fertility Reset Protocol works on cycle regulation, insulin sensitivity, and stress physiology in parallel: the three drivers of PMOS subfertility. It runs comfortably alongside GP-led metformin or letrozole protocols.
Treat the whole picture
PMOS combines hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive features, so single-lever fixes underdeliver. Acupuncture, nutritional therapy, and herbal medicine work in parallel here, under one practitioner, with the same TCM diagnosis carrying across all three and the plan reassessed at every visit.
Work alongside your GP or endocrinologist
We never recommend stopping a prescribed medication. Many clients use integrative care alongside metformin, the pill, or letrozole, and any change to your prescription always sits with your prescribing clinician, with our notes available to them on request.
Why it happens
What causes polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (pmos)?
-
Insulin resistance: drives ovarian production of testosterone and disrupts ovulation
-
Genetic predisposition: PMOS runs in families
-
Chronic low-grade inflammation, often diet-driven
-
Excess body fat: adipose tissue is hormonally active and amplifies the cycle
-
Stress-axis dysregulation: chronic cortisol blunts ovulation signalling
-
Environmental endocrine disruptors (some plastics, pesticides)
At your first appointment there is time to be properly heard
Your history, your cycle, your energy, and what matters to you. The first session runs 60 to 90 minutes depending on the service: medical history, current medications, sleep, digestion, energy, mood, and your menstrual cycle where relevant.

You leave with a written summary of what was done, why, and the plan for your next session.

Frequently asked
questions
Can acupuncture and nutrition replace metformin or the contraceptive pill for PMOS?
No, and we never recommend stopping a prescribed medication. Many of our clients use integrative care alongside metformin, the combined contraceptive pill, or letrozole. Acupuncture and nutrition can support cycle regulation and insulin sensitivity, which sometimes allows your prescribing clinician to step medication down over time, but that is a clinical decision made with them.
How quickly will my cycle regulate?
Most women see partial cycle regulation within 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment, longer if cycles have been absent for years. Insulin-sensitising changes, such as waist circumference and HOMA-IR (a blood-test measure of insulin resistance), often shift faster than ovulation does. We track cycle length and basal-body-temperature patterns at every visit.
Will weight loss alone cure PMOS?
No: PMOS is a syndrome with hormonal, genetic, and metabolic components, not a single condition that can be cured. However, evidence consistently shows that a 5-10% reduction in body weight (where there is excess) improves ovulation, insulin sensitivity, and cycle regularity in women with PMOS.
