8 | Understanding PCOS and Nutrition: It's More Than Just Weight Loss
Colleen is joined by The Hormone Dietitian, Melissa Groves Azzaro, for an insightful discussion on PCOS and nutrition. We unravel the complex relationship between PCOS and dietary choices. Our expert guest walks you through the nuances of crafting a personalized approach for your patients struggling with PCOS.
Key takeaways include:
- Tailored Approaches: Understand why a one-size-fits-all PCOS diet doesn't exist and how each patient requires an individualized strategy.
- Nutrition vs. Behaviors: Dive into whether PCOS improvements stem from weight loss itself or the positive behaviors accompanying it.
- Evidence-Based Nutrition: Discover the latest research on foods and food groups that benefit PCOS, from moderate carb intake to optimal protein and fats.
- Cravings and Emotional Eating: Uncover strategies to address emotional eating triggers and guide patients toward healthier coping mechanisms.
- Supplements and Lifestyle: Learn about essential supplements like inositol and vitamin D, and how comprehensive lifestyle changes encompass sleep, stress management, and more.
