Taylor Medical Group — Atlanta, Georgia
A root-cause approach to polycystic ovary syndrome using integrative medicine
Looking for PCOS treatment in Atlanta that goes beyond birth control pills and metformin? Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women—and one of the most frustrating to treat with conventional medicine alone. At Taylor Medical Group, we dig into the root causes of your PCOS and build a plan that actually addresses what’s driving your symptoms.
We see patients from Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Buckhead, Brookhaven, and across metro Atlanta who are tired of being told to “just lose weight” or handed another prescription without real answers.
☰ Quick Navigation
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects how your ovaries work. It involves a combination of elevated androgens (male hormones), irregular or absent periods, and often—but not always—cysts on the ovaries.
PCOS affects up to 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. But it’s not just a reproductive issue. PCOS is a metabolic and hormonal disorder that affects your weight, your skin, your hair, your mood, your energy, and your long-term health risks.
The name is misleading—you don’t actually need cysts on your ovaries to have PCOS. And many women go years without a proper diagnosis because their symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood.
Irregular Periods — Missing periods, very long cycles, or unpredictable bleeding patterns.
Weight Gain — Especially around the midsection. Weight that’s extremely hard to lose despite diet and exercise.
Acne and Oily Skin — Hormonal acne, particularly along the jawline and chin.
Excess Hair Growth — Unwanted hair on the face, chest, back, or abdomen (hirsutism).
Hair Thinning — Thinning hair on the scalp, often in a male-pattern distribution.
Fatigue and Brain Fog — Chronic tiredness and difficulty concentrating.
Mood Changes — Anxiety, depression, and irritability related to hormone imbalances.
Fertility Issues — Difficulty getting pregnant due to irregular ovulation.
PCOS isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are different types and different driving factors. We identify yours:
Insulin Resistance — The most common driver of PCOS. High insulin levels signal the ovaries to produce more androgens. We test fasting insulin, glucose, and HbA1c to assess this.
Adrenal Androgens — Some women with PCOS have elevated DHEA-S from the adrenal glands rather than the ovaries. Stress and cortisol play a major role here.
Chronic Inflammation — Inflammation drives insulin resistance and androgen production. Gut health, food sensitivities, and environmental toxins all contribute.
Thyroid Dysfunction — Low thyroid function mimics and worsens PCOS symptoms. We always check thyroid levels as part of our evaluation.
Gut Dysbiosis — An unhealthy gut microbiome affects hormone metabolism, inflammation, and insulin sensitivity.
We take a multi-layered approach that addresses the hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory components of PCOS:
Hormone Balancing — Using bioidentical hormone therapy and targeted supplements to restore progesterone, lower androgens, and support ovulation.
Insulin Management — Dietary changes, targeted supplements, and when needed, medication to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the metabolic driver of PCOS.
Anti-Inflammatory Protocols — Identifying and removing inflammatory triggers through diet, gut healing, and IV therapy with nutrients that reduce inflammation.
Nutritional Guidance — A PCOS-specific eating plan that stabilizes blood sugar, reduces inflammation, and supports hormone balance.
Stress and Adrenal Support — Cortisol management strategies and adaptogenic supplements to calm the adrenal contribution to PCOS.
Supplement Protocols — Targeted supplements like inositol, berberine, omega-3s, and others based on your specific type of PCOS.
Conventional
Birth control + metformin + “lose weight”
Integrative
Root cause + hormones + nutrition + lifestyle
Conventional treatment masks symptoms. Birth control pills regulate your period artificially but don’t fix the underlying hormone imbalance. Metformin helps with insulin resistance but doesn’t address inflammation or adrenal factors. And “lose weight” isn’t helpful advice when PCOS makes weight loss nearly impossible.
Our integrative approach finds out what’s actually driving your PCOS and treats that. We still use medication when it’s needed—but it’s never the only tool.
Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS is a lifelong condition, but symptoms can be managed effectively—and in many cases, dramatically reduced—with the right treatment plan. Many patients achieve regular periods, clear skin, and healthy weight with our approach.
Do I need to lose weight to get better?
Weight loss can help, but we don’t start with “lose weight” as the plan. We fix the insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, and inflammation first—and often weight loss follows naturally once those issues are addressed.
What tests do you run?
We check a full hormone panel (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S), thyroid panel, fasting insulin and glucose, HbA1c, inflammatory markers, vitamin D, and often food sensitivity testing.
Can you help with PCOS-related fertility issues?
Yes. By restoring hormone balance and supporting regular ovulation, many patients with PCOS-related fertility issues see improvement. We work to create the healthiest hormonal environment possible.
