PCOS, Insulin & DCI
I actually took DCI from Chiral Balance a few times when I was younger, about 19-20 & I thought after a month or so on it that I had ovulated due to egg white discharge & I instantly thought it was working. However, I quit taking it, because I felt it was making me crave sugar & gain weight & anxiety & fear of weight gain with PCOS & inability to control sugar cravings made me give up on it & I believed it must not be right for me. Flash forward a decade later & I decided to try it again at 28 years old. I stuck to it this time & I’ve only been on it for 3 months. Prior to starting the DCI I had my Insulin tested in December 2020. It was 34. I was extremely insulin resistant. March 2021, I hadn’t even finished my 3rd month on DCI & my Insulin had dropped to a 9 without even changing my diet. I couldn’t believe it. Then again, my instinct, diligence & determination as a teensger to find the “cure” or at least solution as a teen was right all along & I should’ve never second guessed my gut instinct. Passion & following my heart had lead me there after all. What’s crazy is none of my doctors agreed with DCI back then & tried to steer me away from it, which was another reason I had fear & quit it so quickly. I had a lot of medical anxiety & fears from dealing with PCOS on my own, even when I didn’t trust doctors, their comments could still flare my anxiety & worries. Now today, one has even recommended it. I totally don’t believe in the studies that say DCI isn’t best for egg development. I believe in Chiral Balances explanation as to why DCI is superior for PCOS & for what reason it is. I whole heartedly believe it. The proof is in the women who have ovulated, conceived & dropped their insulin to levels that are healthy enough to conceive. My labs show the proof. I will be on DCI for life & I pray that the good Lord above keeps it around at this dosage, because it’s what we need & it works. Special thanks to the team at Chiral Balance for product development & distribution, educating & being PCOS Pioneers & Hero’s. Forever grateful for you! Of note, when taking DCI this time around, I found that the DCI did make me crave sugar again, but I found that after sticking with it, that actually subsided after the first few months. Not sure what that’s about, but id like to share that it did stop for me after a few months. Maybe it was Insulin adjusting. Just doing my due diligence for others & sharing my experience & story. Also of note, I don’t take anything but DCI, so I can attest all changes were due to the DCI.

WOW!! What an amazing story of perseverence and tapping into your own intuition. This is is so inspiring - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!! I'm hoping that this will help women avoid years of searching. Our bodies usually take at least 3mths to get back "into balance" - many women don't stick with it during the initial phase where things can get a bit uncomfortable. Not all experience this phase, but many do. I think of it like a see-saw - sometimes symptoms go "up n down" before settling into a healthy sustainable range. Again, I'm so happy for you and thankful you took the time to share your journey. Love and Blessings! ~ Sally, Chiral Balance.
