Publisher's Synopsis
The first complete guide to thriving with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), offering a science-backed, holistic path to managing symptoms, plus meal plans and 68 recipes
One in ten women experience Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, an endocrine disorder that's the leading cause of infertility, weight gain, and irregular periods. Yet it's still a poorly understood and underserved condition. As a registered dietitian who also has PCOS, Cory Ruth is here to tell you that PCOS is a condition that you can thrive with.
The medical community typically prescribes the birth control pill to reduce unwanted symptoms, but to see lasting changes in symptoms, women need to get to the root of the condition. The path to true healing is in making lifestyle shifts, including nutrition, stress management, and exercise.
Ruth has helped thousands of fellow women with PCOS regulate their periods, lose weight, have healthy babies, heal their hormones, and live balanced lives with PCOS. And in PCOS Is My Power, she shares everything in a step-by-step guide plus cookbook. Her personal anecdotes and stories as a medical professional will help you understand what's happening in your body and how to find balance. She will walk readers through the science and stories before offering a treatment protocol including lifestyle and supplement recommendations, meal plans, and 90 recipes, including Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, Sriracha Cauliflower Chickpea Sheet Bake, and Peanut Tofu Bowl.
Unlike traditional approaches that rely only on medication, PCOS Is My Power focuses on real, practical solutions you can apply every day, helping you balance your hormones, feel more in control, and live your healthiest and happiest life.
