PCOS Nutritionist UK – Evidence-Based Nutrition to Support Hormones, Weight and Fertility
Support to rebalance hormones, restore cycles, prepare for pregnancy and feel yourself again!
If you’re living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), you may be feeling frustrated by stubborn weight gain, unpredictable cycles, or the worry that your fertility plans are slipping further away.
I’m Lisa, BANT registered nutritionist and health coach based in Manchester, UK, specialising in PCOS nutrition support. I provide evidence-based nutrition guidance designed to make life with PCOS feel more manageable.
A PCOS-friendly diet, sustained long term, can be transformational for both your health and fertility. My clients finally manage to lose weight, after failing at every diet. They also go on to have healthy pregnancies, even after enduring years of infertility. I know how well this works, and I want you to experience it too!
I help women with PCOS rebalance hormones, restore cycles, and prepare for pregnancy — with simple, evidence-based steps.
A Root-Cause Approach to PCOS Nutrition
The Hormone Shift Method is designed specifically for women with PCOS
Instead of one-size-fits-all advice, I take a functional, whole-person approach to support the key areas that influence your PCOS symptoms:
-
Hormone balance through blood-sugar regulation and stress management
-
Weight and metabolism by improving insulin sensitivity
-
Cycle and fertility health supporting ovulation and egg quality
-
Gut and nutrient balance to address bloating and deficiencies
Every plan focuses on realistic, sustainable nutrition, helping you move from frustration to progress, with clear steps and accountability.​​

PCOS Nutritionist FAQ'S
What is PCOS and how can nutrition support it?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormone condition that can affect periods, fertility, weight, skin and mood. Many women are told it’s something they just have to live with, but food, lifestyle and targeted nutrition strategies can make a real difference. I help women with PCOS rebalance their hormones, reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, support ovulation and restore healthier cycles through evidence-based nutrition and practical changes tailored to their symptoms.
I’ve just come off the pill can you help me get my cycle back?
Yes. My 12-week PCOS Hormone Shift Method is designed for women who have recently stopped hormonal contraception and want to support their cycle returning naturally. We focus on blood sugar regulation, nutrient repletion, liver detox pathways and hormone balance to give your body the foundations it needs to ovulate again. Many of my clients are in their late 20s to 30s and want to prepare their body for pregnancy in the next year or two, without rushing into fertility treatment.
What’s the difference between your 12-week programme and the mini programmes?
My 12-week PCOS Hormone Shift Method is a comprehensive support programme with weekly guides, food-first protocols, functional nutrition coaching, and optional private testing. It’s ideal if you want deeper support with weight, hormones or fertility after coming off the pill. The Mini Programmes are short, self-paced options for women who want to get started with simple, realistic steps. These include The Capsule Kitchen, the 4-Week After the Pill Reset, and more.
I’ve had a PCOS diagnosis for years. Will this still help me?
Absolutely. Whether your diagnosis is new or longstanding, functional nutrition looks at what’s driving your symptoms now, not just your label. Many women I work with have tried medication, restrictive diets or general advice and still feel stuck. We work together to identify and support the root causes, whether that’s blood sugar imbalances, post-pill hormone disruption, nutrient depletion, inflammation, gut issues or stress.
Can you help with PCOS weight gain and cravings?
Yes, sustainably and without fads. Weight gain with PCOS is often linked to insulin resistance, inflammation and hormonal imbalances, not lack of willpower. My approach focuses on blood sugar balance, metabolic support and practical, satisfying meals that reduce cravings and support weight without restriction. I help you create habits you can stick to long term, with real food and realistic changes, not extreme plans or constant calorie counting.
Can I work with you 1:1 or just join a programme?
You can do both. I offer 1:1 consultations with tailored nutrition advice, coaching and optional private tests, or you can join a structured online programme for step-by-step guidance. Some clients do both. If you're not sure where to start, book a free 15-minute discovery call so I can guide you to the best option based on your current goals, symptoms and timeline.
Do I need testing to start working with you?
No, testing is always optional. Many women see results just by following the food-first protocols in my programmes. That said, private hormone, gut or nutrient tests can offer deeper insight if you’ve hit a plateau or want clarity about what’s going on under the surface. If testing is appropriate, I’ll guide you through what’s useful (and what’s not worth your money).
How long will it take to see results?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you’ve been off the pill, and your current hormone and metabolic health. Some women notice improvements in energy, mood or digestion within 2–3 weeks. Weight and cycles often take longer, typically 8–12 weeks or more. Functional nutrition is not a quick fix, but it creates long-term change that supports your hormones, cycles and fertility in sustainable ways.
Do you help with fertility and TTC support for PCOS?
Yes, but I start with hormone and cycle repair first. Step One of the Hormone Shift Method helps your body come off the pill, reduce inflammation and support ovulation. Step Two is ideal if you're starting to cycle again and are ready to work towards conception. This whole-person approach builds stronger foundations for pregnancy and helps you feel in control, not rushed into IVF without options.
I’m not sure where to begin what’s the best next step?
Start with one of my free resources like the PCOS Cravings & Blood Sugar Reset or book a free call. From there, I can guide you to the most appropriate mini course, programme or 1:1 support option for where you’re at now.
