When life gets busy, healthy eating often feels impossible If you've ever come back from holiday feeling motivated, only to find yourself reaching for biscuits at 3 pm on your first day back at work, you're not alone. It's something I've noticed time and time again with women I support with PCOS. In fact, during a recent free 10-Day Evening Cravings Reset, I asked participants what they found hardest about staying on track. I expected them to say holidays. I expected them to

If you’ve been searching for an online PCOS nutritionist, you’ve probably reached the point where you’re tired of trying to work everything out on your own. Maybe you’ve spent hours reading conflicting advice online. One website tells you to cut out carbohydrates. Another says you need to fast.

The challenge is finding the time and energy to make it happen consistently. After a long day at work, the last thing most people want to do is spend an hour preparing a healthy meal from scratch.

Yet one of the most common things I see in clinic is women focusing so much on what they should avoid that they overlook what they need more of. Protein is one of the most important nutrients for supporting appetite regulation, muscle health, energy levels and blood sugar balance. Yet many women with PCOS are not eating en

When the weather warms up, staying hydrated becomes even more important. Yet many women with PCOS tell me they struggle to drink enough water during a busy working day. It's easy to get caught up in meetings, errands or looking after everyone else, only to realise by late afternoon that you've barely had a drink. While drinking more water won't "fix" PCOS, it can support several areas that many women struggle with, including energy, digestion, exercise performance and appetit
