Understanding Nutrition for PCOS

Are you or someone you care about dealing with the PCOS? In this workshop, we’ll look at how nutrition can help you manage life with PCOS.

Definition from the Mayo Clinic:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs.

The exact cause of PCOS is unknown. Early diagnosis and treatment along with weight loss may reduce the risk of long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
