Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder seen in women, and it can have a profound impact on a woman’s health, both physical and mental. It’s little wonder that so many women with PCOS feel like they’re on a dieting merry-go-round.
The root cause of PCOS is still not fully understood, but it is thought to be linked to hormonal imbalance and low-level chronic inflammation. While there is no cure for PCOS, the condition and the associated symptoms can be managed through lifestyle changes.
It is a complex condition that presents differently in every woman. It can cause a range of symptoms, from irregular periods and weight gain to fertility problems and excessive hair growth. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing PCOS. I will work with you to design a personalised plan that meets your unique needs and helps you achieve your desired results.
Let's work together to:
- Reduce mood swings, tiredness and ‘brain fog’
- Prevent weight gain or achieve weight loss, especially around your abdomen
- Reduce carbohydrate cravings and comfort-eating
- Regulate your periods and increase chances of ovulation (important for fertility)
- Improve digestive symptoms
- Increase your confidence in nourishing yourself well.
Managing PCOS is a uniquely personal journey, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I'm here to tailor our consultations to your strengths and challenges. Here's a glimpse into some of the common themes we often explore:
- Understanding your unique PCOS type and its related symptoms
- Personalised nutrition advice to alleviate your specific symptoms by getting to the root causes
- Examining your lifestyle choices, from sleep and stress management to physical activity, alcohol intake, and exposure to environmental toxins, and how they influence your hormones
- Identifying supplements backed by evidence to improve your individual PCOS symptoms
- Assessing your risk of developing complications related to PCOS and providing personalised recommendations to mitigate these risks.
