PCOS Nutrition Support UK Specialist Support for Hormonal Imbalance
Struggling with irregular periods, weight gain or skin breakouts? Suspect PCOS but not sure where to start?
You Don’t Have to Wait Until PCOS Gets Worse
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormonal, reproductive and metabolic condition that goes far beyond fertility struggles.
Many women I speak to have been told they’re “fine” because they’re not trying to conceive, or that PCOS is only a concern if they want children. But what’s really happening inside your body tells a different story.
Irregular or absent periods, signs of insulin resistance and androgen excess are key drivers of PCOS, even if no cysts are visible on a scan. These symptoms often show up years before a diagnosis. When left unaddressed, they can worsen over time and make it harder to restore balance later on.
Early support makes a significant difference. Whether you're newly diagnosed, suspect something is not right, or you’ve been living with PCOS for years, I offer one-to-one support rooted in a functional, personalised approach.

A Complex Condition That Deserves a Comprehensive View
What are the common symptoms of PCOS?
PCOS isn’t just about ovaries or missed periods. It’s an endocrine and metabolic disorder that can affect many systems in the body.
Common PCOS Symptoms:
-
Irregular periods (long cycles, missing periods or fewer than 9 per year)
-
No periods at all (amenorrhoea)
-
Difficulty getting pregnant or irregular ovulation
-
Weight gain, especially around the middle
-
Cravings for carbs and sugar
-
Fatigue or low energy throughout the day
-
Acne (often around the jawline or chin)
-
Oily skin or persistent breakouts
-
Excess hair growth on the face, chest or abdomen (hirsutism)
-
Hair thinning or hair loss on the scalp
-
Mood swings, anxiety or low mood
-
Bloating or digestive discomfort
-
Insulin resistance or blood sugar crashes
-
Darker patches of skin, often on the neck or underarms (acanthosis nigricans)
-
Sleep problems, including trouble falling or staying asleep
-
Low libido or hormone-related PMS symptoms
As a nutritionist, I take a whole-person approach, looking at your symptoms, history, environment and test results to better understand what’s driving your imbalance.
I support clients struggling with:
-
Irregular or absent periods (less than 9 per year or cycles longer than 35 days)
-
Fatigue, weight gain, energy crashes and mood swings
-
Difficulty losing weight despite eating well and exercising
-
Acne and skin problems, unwanted facial/body hair, or scalp hair thinning
-
Concerns about ovulation or long-term fertility
-
A diagnosis of PCOS with little follow-up or support
Even if you haven’t had a scan or blood test, symptoms such as these can be strong indicators that your body is out of balance. In most cases, insulin resistance and androgen excess are present, even if they haven’t yet been identified.
PCOS and Fertility: Why Early Support Matters
Online personalised nutrition plans for PCOS
Fertility challenges are often what finally bring women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to their GP or a specialist. But many of the hormonal and metabolic issues that affect ovulation have been present for years.
Irregular periods, long cycles or a lack of ovulation can make it harder to conceive, but they’re also signs that your body needs support long before fertility becomes urgent.
Supporting ovulation, cycle regularity and hormone balance can improve your chances of conceiving naturally, whether you're trying now or hoping to in the future. Even small improvements in blood sugar regulation, inflammation or androgens can positively impact reproductive health.
Maybe you’ve been told to “just lose weight” or “wait and see." But waiting often leads to frustration and costly interventions. Taking action now helps you create the right environment for conception later and improves your overall wellbeing in the meantime.
Functional Testing for PCOS
Investigating PCOS with medical & functional testing
These are some of the markers that can provide insight into your hormonal and metabolic health:
-
Fasting insulin and glucose
-
HbA1c (long-term blood sugar control)
-
Lipid profile (cholesterol and triglycerides)
-
Total testosterone and SHBG
-
LH:FSH ratio
-
Oestradiol and prolactin
-
TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone)
Functional Testing for a Deeper Look
PCOS symptoms don’t always show up on standard blood tests. Functional testing helps fill in the gaps by looking at:
-
Full thyroid panel – including free T3, free T4 and antibodies
-
Vitamin D status – low levels are common in PCOS and often overlooked
-
Comprehensive hormone testing – to assess ovulation, oestrogen clearance and androgen activity
-
Nutrient testing – to check for key vitamins and minerals that support hormone health
-
Gut and microbiome testing – helpful if you experience bloating, digestive issues or inflammation
Not everyone needs every test. We decide together what’s useful based on your symptoms, goals and budget.
Why Personalised Support Works
Online personalised nutrition programmes for managing PCOS
PCOS doesn’t present the same way in every woman. Some respond well to certain changes, others need a different approach.
Many of my clients have already tried cutting carbs, giving up dairy or following rigid plans, but saw little progress. That’s often because the underlying causes haven’t been properly explored.
My role is to help you connect the dots between your symptoms, lab results and lifestyle, and guide you with evidence-based steps that make sense for your body, not someone else’s.
Although I’m based in Manchester, I work with clients across Manchester and the UK via secure online consultations. Whether you're in Greater Manchester, London, Edinburgh or anywhere in between, you can access expert support from the comfort of your home.
As a BANT-registered nutritionist, I offer flexible online appointments that fit around your work and life, so you can start rebalancing your hormones without the travel.

Online PCOS Nutritionist FAQ's
Your PCOS Questions Answered
Do I need a diagnosis of PCOS to work with you?
No. I work with many clients who suspect they have PCOS or show signs of hormonal imbalance, even without a formal diagnosis. I focus on what your symptoms are telling us and what’s needed to support your health now.
Can you recommend a supplement or diet for PCOS?
No, because each woman is different. I offer personalised guidance based on your symptoms and test results. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to PCOS.
What if my GP says my tests are normal?
It’s not unusual to feel dismissed if your blood results are within range. But “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal. I review your results through a functional lens and look at the bigger picture.
Is it possible to manage PCOS naturally?
Yes. PCOS cannot be “cured” but many women see real improvements in their cycle, skin, weight, mood and energy with the right support. I focus on helping you understand what’s driving your symptoms so we can create realistic changes that actually work.
Can this help if I want to get pregnant in the future?
Yes. Supporting ovulation and hormone balance now can make a big difference to future fertility, even if you’re not trying to conceive yet. It’s never too early to start supporting your reproductive health.
