Nutrition for PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition that affects between 5-10% of women. Symptoms are varied with women suffering from any number of the following;

  • Unexplained weight gain which is difficult to lose
  • Infertility
  • Heavy/infrequent periods
  • Acne
  • Male pattern baldness/hair loss
  • Facial hair

Factors that can increase the risk of developing PCOS include:

  • having a family history of PCOS (especially mother or sister)
  • having diabetes or insulin resistance
  • being overweight or obese
  • being between the ages of 20 and 30

There is a strong link between insulin resistance and PCOS as well as a potential hormone imbalance so addressing diet can be particularly helpful in improving symptoms.
