Health is not a number on the scale

I take a non-diet approach to nutrition because I see each day how diet advice harms PCOS patients. I blend PCOS nutrition recommendations with your own inner wisdom to create eating habits that feel great and are maintainable to you. When we shift the conversation away from hating your body and more towards individualized nutrition and lifestyle habits centered around taking care of yourself, can learn how to approach nutrition with autonomy and self-care. Food is meant to be experienced and enjoyed, and you shouldn’t feel stress or shame around eating. That is no way to live life.

Passion for pcos

I am personally connected to PCOS because it runs in my family, and I professionally became connected to PCOS nutrition coaching when I had a brick and mortar private practice called G&G Nutrition Co. in Charlotte, NC. I noticed that I was seeing clients on a weekly basis who had been diagnosed with PCOS and were given no direction as to how to improve their symptoms and labs. Most of the focus of treatment was centered around weight loss instead of addressing the root causes of hormone imbalances, leaving my clients in a never ending cycle of trying diet after diet – all while their symptoms and labs were getting worse.

I knew that I wanted to support more people with PCOS and created my instagram account, @pcos.nutritionist, to give free nutrition tips and connect more with the PCOS community. I also became involved in PCOS Advocacy initiatives and now go to Capitol Hill annually to advocate for PCOS legislation. Being involved in advocacy has given me the privilege to receive education on the most updated PCOS research, all of which I pass along to my clients.
