PCOS WTF? Diagnosed with PCOS: everything you need to know to be your own health care advocate.
$22.50
This book is designed for the person that has just been diagnosed with PCOS and is not really sure what to do next.
By covering off the topics of; the background of PCOS, the hormones at play, how its diagnosed, pharmaceutical interventions and most importantly lifestyle, herbal and nutrients interventions, the book allows the reader to have the knowledge to be an informed advocate for their own health care so they know how and who to seek out to help them progress their health.
After many years of seeing patients that had just received a PCOS diagnosis and felt lost about what that means to them, I thought I would write a blog for the newly diagnosed patient.
The blog turned into a 45+ page book as I realised there was just so much information that I wanted to give.
Its split into 6 chapters to ensure that every aspect is covered;
- Intro – background of PCOS
- Chapter 1 – Menstrual cycle 101, hormones and the differences in PCOS
- Chapter 2 – Uncovering the S part of PCOS, symptoms, insulin, fat storage and diagnosis
- Chapter 3 – Understanding your drivers to PCOS and testing to understand that
- Chapter 4 – Medical approaches
- Chapter 5 – Holistic Natural Medicine Approaches, diet, supplements, gut health, sleep, movement
- Chapter 6 – How Naturopathy and other modalities can help PCOS
As much as possible the book is evidenced based with references supplied at the end.
The book is not a cure all for PCOS. There is no book that can claim that title as every PCOS person is different.
What it is though, is a comprehensive and empowering guide so that when you have finished reading it you have enough information to understand the drivers behind your PCOS and what to do about it. It allows you to be knowledgeable enough to be your own advocate for your health care. And if you are wanting help, it helps you know who and what you are seeking out so that you get the best outcome for YOU.
