All About PCOS

Missed the live webinar?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition affecting an estimated 5-10% of women of reproductive age, but despite how common it is, it is often under-diagnosed and under-treated.

In this webinar, we want to provide answers to your questions and help you to understand:

What PCOS is and how it can be managed
Nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support and improve symptoms of PCOS
Skin and hair symptoms of PCOS and their treatment options.

The Webinar Series

Here are a few of our past webinar recordings that you may enjoy.

Break The Bias

Here’s the thing, we have so much incredible medical research available to us now, but most of it is based on male cells, male mice, and male bodies, then simply applied to women. While our fluctuating hormones may be considered a ‘nuisance’ for researchers, they can provide us with so much insight into the inner workings of our body. Sex hormones are not only orchestrating our reproductive health but affecting our metabolism, as well as our bone, heart, gut, and brain health – and even the way we sleep. In this webinar you will learn how to use your unique female physiology to work with you, not against you and empower you with information to improve our overall health.

Nutrition for Women Across the Lifespan

Across the lifespan – puberty and adolescence, pregnancy, post-partum, menopause and beyond, women have unique nutritional requirements. Similarly, across the menstrual cycle, women have different calorie, nutrient needs, and food cravings due to fluctuations in sex hormones. Women can also suffer from unique gynaecological issues such as; premenstrual syndrome (PMS), endometriosis, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) – all which can be influenced by nutrition. In this webinar we explored nutrition across the menstrual cycle, for preconception and pregnancy, and during the menopause.

Optimising Gut Health

Many of us understand the gut as an organ that allows us to eat, digest and absorb nutrients – but it’s so much more than that! For example, 70% of our immune cells can be found in the gut. The gut is also home to trillions of microbes, or gut bugs, known as the gut microbiota. These microbes interact with various systems in our body including the skin, brain, immune system, heart and blood vessels, and even the brain. They feed on prebiotic fibre and produce short-chain fatty acids, enzymes and other metabolites such as vitamins and amino acids that have been linked to important health benefits – so it is in our best interest to look after them. In the first part of this webinar we take a deep dive into research in this fascinating field of gut health and learn more about the future of personalised nutrition.
