It’s easy to feel like your life is out of control when you’re suffering from PCOS, but one factor that you do have control over is what you put in your body. Making small changes toward a healthy lifestyle, can dramatically help with PCOS.
To help you on your journey, we recommend @thewomensdietitan. We love Cory Ruth, MS, RDN because she really puts it all down on paper (or on our phones) explaining PCOS in an engaging and interesting way. From fun snack ideas, healthy dinner options and even PCOS friendly desserts she motivates us with recipes that are sugar-free, high in vitamins and low in sugar.
