WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH A DIETITIAN WHEN YOU HAVE PCOS:

Hormones are chemical messengers that help to regulate our mental, physical and emotional health. For example, they play an important role in controlling our appetite, weight and mood. They help control many of the body’s processes including metabolism and reproduction. Certain medical conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), age and lifestyle or dietary patterns can cause an imbalance in hormones.

PCOS is a hormonal condition in which there is an excess of male hormones in the body, alongside irregular periods and/or cysts on the ovaries. PCOS affects around 1 in 5 women. Symptoms include irregular periods, fertility issues, excess facial or body hair, acne, weight gain and mood changes.

While the cause of PCOS is unknown, there may be a strong genetic link. People with PCOS often have insulin resistance, which means that in simple terms the body is less effective at processing carbohydrates, leading to blood sugar imbalances.

Working with a PCOS Dietitian at the PNW Clinic can help you to adopt an anti-inflammatory diet that is modified to support optimal blood sugar management and assists with regulating a body weight that is right for you.

Your dietitian can work with you to develop an individualised nutrition plan that is realistic and achievable based on your needs. If you’re ready to seek help on your health journey with PCOS, book a discovery call with an expert PCOS dietitian at the PNW Clinic.
