What is PCOS?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal and metabolic condition that can affect menstrual cycles, weight, skin, fertility, mood, and energy levels. It is often linked to insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone imbalance.
Common symptoms
- Irregular or absent periods
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Acne or oily skin
- Excess hair growth or hair thinning
- Fatigue or low energy
- Sugar cravings / blood sugar swings
- Fertility difficulties
- PMS / mood changes
How nutrition support can help
Nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, support ovulation, and help regulate hormones. Our nutrition practitioners will work with you to create a personalised plan that is tailored to your lifestyle and dietary preferences and optimises health outcomes, over generic diets.
When to see your GP
We work alongside your GP or any other healthcare practitioner you may be seeing, to create tailored nutrition and lifestyle plans that complement medical care. However, it is important to speak to your GP if you have:
- Very irregular or absent periods
- Rapid weight changes
- Signs of high androgens (hair growth, acne, hair loss)
- Fertility concerns
- Severe fatigue or mood symptoms
How we support PCOS
Our team of nutrition practitioners have years of clinical experience working with individuals with PCOS, and understand that PCOS is not the same for everyone. Your practitioner will focus on identifying the underlying factors that apply to you,, to build a protocol that is highly personalised to you based on an understanding of where your symptoms may be stemming from.
Your programme may include:
1. Metabolic & blood sugar support
Many people with PCOS have insulin resistance.
We use nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted strategies to stabilise blood sugar and improve energy.
2. Hormone balance
We support ovulation, cycle regulation, and hormone metabolism using nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine principles.
3. Inflammation & gut health
Chronic low-level inflammation is often present with PCOS and can worsen symptoms. Your practitioner will explore gut health, digestion, nutrient status, and other common drivers of inflammation.
4. Stress & nervous system support
Stress hormones can interfere with sex hormone metabolism, disrupting ovulation and worsening cravings, fatigue, and weight gain. We assess the need for nervous system regulation and consider including evidence-based strategies to support body systems impacted by stress.
5. Targeted supplements & testing (when appropriate)
We may consider functional testing, targeted supplements protocols, as part of a further investigation into underlying clinical imbalances. Your practitioner will talk you through any recommendations, and arrange a follow up consultation to explain your results.
