OPTION 2: Wellness Without Diets: The Body Positive Health at Every Size Approach to PCOS

While dieting and pursuing weight loss are the first treatment recommendations for PCOS, long term evidence does not support these as tools that help most people. Even more, after repeated attempts at weight loss, many people with PCOS avoid health care providers impacting overall care. Is there another way? Can people with PCOS promote health and positive body image without dieting? Yes! Learn the evidence behind mindful and intuitive eating strategies and walk away with new tools to feel energized and more powerful in your relationship with food.
