PCOS Nutrition: A Sustainable & Science-Backed Approach | Orgain Healthcare Professional Education Series
Typically thought of as a reproductive disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is actually a complex hormonal and metabolic condition that impacts nearly every system in the body. While the hallmark symptoms are irregular menstrual cycles, acne, hair loss, hirsutism, and weight gain, it also puts people with the condition at high risk for serious complications such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, uterine cancer, infertility, pregnancy complications, and eating disorders. Fortunately, the root causes driving these symptoms and complications (insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut- and hormone-imbalances) are highly responsive to diet and lifestyle changes. In this webinar, you’ll learn science-backed approaches to the management of PCOS without restrictive dieting.
