PCOS affects as many as 10% of women in Ireland. PCOS is caused by an imbalance of hormones which can lead to small benign cysts on the ovaries. The good news is that there are many dietary strategies which can help manage the symptoms and the latest research shows certain nutritional supplements may be beneficial also.
Ellen has helped many clients referred by GPs and specialists to lose weight, improve their PCOS symptoms (such as feeling less tired and reducing sugar cravings), improve their insulin resistance and to reduce their risk of long term health problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
