PCOS Decoded: Empowering Women with PCOS through a Lifestyle Approach

Led by Dr. Nitu Bajekal and Rohini Bajekal 

Join us for an enlightening Masterclass on managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) through a comprehensive lifestyle approach alongside western medicine. Exploring the vital role of a holistic approach in alleviating PCOS symptoms and learn practical strategies to support your clients’ well-being.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common condition affecting approximately 10% of women and is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility and endocrine disorders among women of reproductive age.

This insightful session will be hosted by co-authors of Living PCOS free, renowned gynecologist Dr Nitu Bajekal and her daughter expert nutritionist Rohini Bajekal, who will share their knowledge and experience on how lifestyle modification is a promising and effective therapeutic approach.

What insights and knowledge will you gain?:

  • Understanding PCOS: Gain a deeper understanding of PCOS, its etiology, and its impact on women’s health. Explore the hormonal imbalances at play and their role in the development of PCOS symptoms. The impact and burden PCOS can have on metabolic health and disorders.
  • Lifestyle Interventions: Learn how a holistic lifestyle approach, encompassing nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep, can significantly impact PCOS management. How to empower your clients to make sustainable changes and improve their overall health.
  • Nutritional Strategies: Discover evidence-based dietary interventions that can effectively support clients with PCOS. Delve into the specifics of macronutrient balance, micronutrient supplementation, and the importance of a personalised approach to optimise hormone regulation.
  • Practical Guidance: Equip yourself with knowledge and strategies from the six pillars of lifestyle medicine to enhance your practice and effectively support clients with PCOS.

The diagnosis and management of PCOS is often challenging because it is a mysterious condition with many symptoms that can vary with age and each individual, therefore there is no one size fits all solution.

Genetics only plays 5-10% role in any lifestyle disease. This is good news which means you can alter your destiny through modifying diet and lifestyle factors. Our aim is to support you as practitioners so you can make a positive difference in the lives of individuals struggling with this complex condition.
