Frequently Asked Questions
How can a Dietitian help my PCOS?
How can a dietitian help with PCOS?
A registered dietitian can help manage PCOS symptoms through a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan. This may include balancing blood sugar, supporting hormone health, managing weight, and reducing inflammation.
Do I need to follow a specific PCOS diet?
There’s no one-size-fits-all diet for PCOS. That’s why wee tailor nutrition plans based on your symptoms, lifestyle, preferences, and goals. Common strategies include focusing on low-GI foods, increasing fibre, and optimising macro and micronutrient intake.
Can diet improve fertility in PCOS?
Absolutely, nutrition plays a key role in improving ovulation and hormone balance, which can support fertility. We work with many women who are trying to conceive naturally or with fertility treatments.
Sustainable Lifestyle Change
Do you provide guidance beyond just food?
Absolutely. We support holistic PCOS management, including exercise, stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and supplement guidance when needed.
Can you help with other PCOS-related issues like acne, hair growth, or mood swings?
While we don’t replace your medical provider, many symptoms of PCOS can be reduced through nutrition and lifestyle changes. We’ll work closely with you to address these areas as part of a comprehensive plan. We can also advise on how to advocate for yourself to get the most out of your appointments with a medical professional.
