The Most Comprehensive Online Education for Registered Dietitians Treating Patients with PCOS

Feel more confident and capable working with people with PCOS

PEOPLE with PCOS are frustrated.

They want and deserve answers about their diagnosis and they aren’t getting them.

Most of all, PEOPLE with PCOS need your help.

Diet and lifestyle modifications have been shown to be the primary treatment approach for individuals with PCOS. Despite this importance, there is a lack of information being presented in dietetic curriculums about the condition. People with PCOS may seek out help from a registered dietitian only to become more frustrated if he or she doesn’t seem to really know PCOS.

Here are some examples of what I hear from patients who have seen a dietitian before coming to work with me:

“I saw a dietitian once but I don’t feel she gave me any more information than I already knew.”

“The dietitian didn’t know anything about the supplements I was interested in taking to help my PCOS.”

“My dietitian put me on a standard diabetic diet.”

If you are seeing more and more patients with PCOS (and hopefully you are since it’s the most common endocrine disorder in women of childbearing ages), this course can help you feel more confident and proficient in helping your patients take control over their PCOS and feel better.

You will have lifetime access to the course and course updates, along with access to a private facebook group where I answer questions live, that is only available to registrants from the course.
