About
This workshop is suitable for ALL clinicians collaborating with people living with an eating disorder.
Polycystic Ovaria Syndrome is the most common cause of ovulatory Infertility and 40% of those affected experience diabetes by the time they are 40. Most clinicians rely on weight centric calorie restrictions and low carbohydrate diabetic meal planning tp treat PCOS yet those dont work for most people. Research suggests people with PCOS are four times more likely to experince an eating disorder in their lifetime.
The push to diet and restrict certain foods fuels nd eating disorder and prevents access to eating disorder recovery.

This collaborative workshop will include information on:
- The reproductive, psychological and metabolic consequences of PCOS throughout the lifecycle
- Common PCOS client stuck points whilst navigating eating disorder recovery with non-diet tools to navigate them
- Weight inclusive and non-diet Medical Nutrition Therapy uniqely deigned for people with PCOS
