Publisher's Synopsis
PCOS, in its various forms, and the infertility which often accompanies it, affects approximately 13% of the population. Alongside the diagnosis are symptoms such as weight gain generally around the abdominal area, high blood pressure, an increased risk of cardiac disease and stroke. Many sufferers are told to. ' Go home and lose weight.' something that they are likely to have repeatedly tried but found that weight loss did not happen even though a number of tried and tested weight loss diets had been tried. However, it is not just the damage to the physical appearance and health that is the main problem for many but the high risk of infertility can impact on lives in a way that non-sufferers would find difficult to understand.
While the surge in PCOS continues, the author asks. 'Is PCOS and associated infertility related to nutritional deficiencies?'
In this book, she investigates her theories providing sound reasons for doing so. Along the way she finds those who also believe PCOS is related to nutritional deficiencies with sound reasons for their justification. Gathering this information and her own extensive knowledge of nutritional medicine, the author produces a handbook for those wanting to understand and treat PCOS and the associated infertility.
