Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal and metabolic condition that affects reproductive-aged individuals. It is characterized by insulin resistance, hormone imbalance, irregular menstrual cycles, and symptoms such as weight changes, acne, excess hair growth, and fertility challenges. PCOS also increases the risk of pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Nutrition therapy plays a key role in managing insulin resistance, regulating hormones, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic health in individuals with PCOS.
Yes. PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting an estimated 1 in 10 individuals of reproductive age. Many remain undiagnosed for years due to varied symptoms.
While there is no cure, PCOS can be effectively managed. Medical nutrition therapy, along with lifestyle modifications and medical care when needed, can significantly improve symptoms, hormone balance, and long-term health outcomes.
