“Dietitians really need to be the leaders in the management of PCOS and your book is a step in the right direction.”
-Judy Simon MS,RD,CD
“The Dietitian’s Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a book that not only every practicing dietitian and nutritionist should have on their shelves, but any professional who comes into clinical contact with women suffering from PCOS. But not only will professionals working with PCOS clients find this book helpful, but women with PCOS will be well-armed to work with their doctors, dieticians, reproductive endocrinologists, and gynecologists to fight the symptoms of PCOS and its related issues.”
-Linda Harvey, Editor, PCOS Today Magazine
“This book fills a gap in the practical literature on medical nutrition therapy for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It is a useful, practice-oriented book written by an experienced dietitian for dietitians. I highly recommend this book for dietitians interested in women's health.”
–Jeffrey E. Harris, DrPH, MPH, RD, LDN
“A much needed reference for registered dietitians and other health professionals in understanding and treating women with PCOS.”
–Lynn Monahan Couch, MPH, RD, LDN
“PCOS is often linked with eating disorders, but Eating Disorders Boot Camp is the first time many RDs find out it exists. I am thrilled to be able to recommend The Dietitian’s Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome for more information. It’s a great combination of research findings plus practical tips.”
–Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, Author of The Eating Disorders Clinical Pocket Guide
“Thank you for writing this book! I’m not a dietitian or health care professional but I do have PCOS and I think all women with this syndrome would benefit from reading The Dietitian’s Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It’s full of nutrition and medical information that I haven’t seen in any other PCOS book. I especially appreciated the chapter on PCOS and Pregnancy, Lactation, and the Postpartum Period as I am pregnant.”
–Rebecca Dewaele
“This is a very important book, and it is written very clearly and professionally. I will share it with my colleagues in Israel.”
–Ilana Dariel, RD PhD
