PCOS & Fertility Dietitian - Charlotte, NC & Virtual

Balance your hormones & nourish your fertility with Intuitive Eating.

So you came off the pill and didn’t get your period, and then came the diagnosis: PCOS. Maybe the doctor said, “go back on the pill, don’t worry about it until you want to get pregnant,” or “try X diet to lose weight, that’s how you stay healthy with PCOS, and here’s some metformin.” Maybe you knew this wasn’t enough and you went down the Instagram scroll/Google search rabbit hole, only to be left feeling like nothing you were doing was enough. You’ve probably tried EVERYTHING, or at least are feeling super overwhelmed with your PCOS and have no idea where to start.

The thing is, PCOS is complex - it affects not just your ovaries, but every cell in your body, from your brain to your skin, down to your cardiovascular system and even your digestion. There are indeed nutrition & lifestyle interventions you can do in order to manage your symptoms and improve your fertility, but dieting can actually do a lot more harm than good. Due to a variety of genetic, hormonal, and social factors, people with PCOS are up to 4 times more likely to develop an eating disorder (particularly bulimia and binge eating disorder), and the biggest predictor of disordered eating is actually dieting itself.

The reason you might feel out of control around food is NOT a lack of willpower, and your body size is NOT the problem. You can heal your relationship with food and have better body image, all without dieting. We work with our clients on an intuitive approach to nutrition for PCOS - together we find ways to nourish your body with foods you love, and take your mental health into account along the way.

 My areas of expertise include:

• Health at Every Size® approach to nutrition: come as you are and learn to nourish your body, no matter its size

• Personalized functional nutrition: find evidence-based food and supplement recommendations that fit with YOUR symptoms and YOUR life

• Fertility & pregnancy: let’s get your period regulated, and (if you want!) help you have a healthy pregnancy through intuitive nutrition

• Nutrition for whole-body PCOS: learn more about regulating your blood sugar, protecting your liver, improving your mental health and more

You deserve to feel good in your body.

You can trust your instincts. You can trust your body. You deserve to feel at peace with food.
