PCOS-Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS is a common hormone disorder that affects one in five women in the UK. It can be devastating to a woman’s self-esteem and quality of life. As if this weren’t bad enough, many cases are missed because the pill is often prescribed to young women for painful and/or irregular periods and this can mask symptoms. It is often only when you are unable to get pregnant or experience miscarriages that explorations uncover the condition.

It can be very frustrating when:
* Your doctor tells you to focus on losing weight but gives you no further support so that you feel lost and unsure where to start
* You were told that if you have PCOS there isn’t really anything you can do
* Your doctor just pushes a pill on you to "resolve" all your hormonal issues such as acne, irritability, irregular period etc.
and tells you to come back when you want to have kids
* Your doctor tells you you're fine, the blood tests are normal - so your concerns are dismissed, but you still don't feel well
* You don't feel confident wearing your favorite clothes because you are bloated all the time
* You have to shave your hair in unwanted places, and you keep losing your scalp hair
* You are left me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and annoyed that nothing has worked so far
My approach:
I identify the "root causes" of YOUR symptoms and which of the main systems in your body aren’t working optimally.
What usually goes out of balance in PCOS:
Your insulin – a hormone that controls your blood sugar
Your stress hormones
Your thyroid
Your gut
Inflammation
How I help you:
Few PCOS sufferers have the exact same spectrum of symptoms. For nearly all, however, lifestyle changes are the centerpiece of taking control of one’s health. Once I’ve identified the root causes, I put in place the right combination of dietary and lifestyle changes for YOUR body and your PCOS type with the evidence-based changes that are going to have the biggest impact.
