According to the Mayo Clinic, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. Evidence suggests that this disorder is genetic and incurable, and many people are unfamiliar with it or are unaware they have it. Though incurable, this condition is very manageable and one of the best ways to do this is through diet. The book, written by Registered Dietitian, Hillary Wright, guides readers through a proven program that helps readers understand how their body works and how their reproductive hormones are influenced by diet. This book is unique in that it provides information on how to plan recommended meals, relieve stress, and address fertility issues in an encouraging, caring manner. PCOS is often very frustrating and difficult to accept and the author recognizes this in her writing. If you have been diagnosed with PCOS, I would definitely recommend this read.

It is very common for PCOS to go undiagnosed, and once you can alter your diet to help manage this condition, your life can change for the better. If you are suffering from irregular periods/infertility, unusual weight gain or diabetes, or acne breakouts you may be suffering from PCOS.  Our Registered Dietitian, Annie Thorp, specializes in PCOS so call our office to schedule an appointment with her. Annie can help you make small changes to your diet to help manage this condition.
