PCOS

PCOS affects up to one in eight women in Australia, and many are never properly assessed.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal and metabolic condition. It often involves insulin resistance, which can drive weight changes, skin changes and irregular cycles.

Origin Cycle looks at the full picture: your hormones, your insulin and your cycle, with a structured plan and regular reviews.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis affects one in seven Australian women, and diagnosis takes six to eight years on average.

Tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows elsewhere in the pelvis, causing pain and inflammation.

Origin Cycle supports you alongside your GP or gynaecologist, focusing on pain, inflammation, energy and iron. If you are not yet diagnosed, we help you find the right path.
