Whether you are trying to better control your diabetes or
cholesterol or struggling with the diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome
(PCOS), nutrition counseling can aid in the management of your condition and
symptoms without the use of harsh medications.
We can help you choose the right foods to maintain a
balanced diet to control or alleviate symptoms, slow disease progression,
and possibly reduce or eliminate
the need for certain prescription drugs.
We’ll teach you how to effectively manage your blood sugar to reduce
headaches, shakiness, and irritability. We employ a “holistic” approach, which
means we evaluate you in a “whole”, as a person with lifestyle challenges.
Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that affects women. Symptoms associated with PCOS include irregular,
heavy menstruation or no menstruation, unexplainable weight gain typically in
the midsection, carbohydrate cravings, fertility challenges, acne, and hirsutism
(facial hair). Women may also have small
cysts in the ovaries. Ultimately, PCS
can lead to infertility or difficulty conceiving. Specific MNT can help foster the necessary
physical changes to help promote fertility and conception. Nutrition therapy can help you to lose weight
and keep it off, lower your risk for type 2 and gestational diabetes, improve
your insulin and blood sugar levels, decrease your cholesterol and
triglycerides and increase energy.
Thyroid
disorders are another common problem women face that nutrition therapy can help
improve. We can help you manage your
weight, have more energy, and sleep better.
