Understanding PCOS and the Role of Nutrition

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) affects hormone balance, metabolism, and often weight.

Why nutrition matters

Insulin resistance is common in PCOS. Balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats help stabilize blood sugar and reduce symptoms over time.

Practical starting points

• Prioritize protein at every meal
• Choose low-glycemic carbohydrates
• Stay consistent with meal timing
• Manage stress — cortisol also affects hormone balance

A personalized plan accounts for your specific symptoms, labs, and lifestyle — there's no one-size-fits-all approach to PCOS.
