Overcome your challenges with PCOS
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting up to 10% of menstruating people. It is characterized by an over-production of androgens, a type of hormone, and insulin resistance. Common PCOS symptoms include irregular periods or amenorrhea, infertility, weight gain, acne, excess hair growth, and depression or anxiety.
Break free from PCOS with personalized support
Lifestyle interventions play a key role in reversing the effects of PCOS. Work with a registered dietitian to rebalance your hormones with:
- Custom meal plan including low-glycemic foods
- Personalized eating schedule to improve blood sugar levels
- Exercise guidelines
- Supplement recommendations
- Medical assistance if needed (in partnership with your medical provider)
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
What to look for in a PCOS nutritionist
Specializes in PCOS diets
Treating polycystic ovary syndrome requires a particular dietary approach that accounts for your particular set of symptoms. Working with a dietitian who specializes in PCOS and hormone disorders will enable better treatment and outcomes.
Accepts insurance
Treating PCOS can be expensive; having your nutrition services covered can ease the burden. All Fay dietitians accept insurance and bill directly on your behalf. You could pay as little as $0 per session for expert PCOS nutrition care.
Has proper qualifications
To ensure you are receiving the highest quality PCOS, look for nutrition providers with the RD or RDN title. Registered dietitian nutritionists are the most qualified nutrition providers out there and will have the most hands-on experience, leading to better outcomes.
Takes a whole-health approach
PCOS usually necessitates not just one doctor, but a whole treatment team. Your RDN should be ready and willing to work with your broader care team to ensure your plan is aligned with your other treatments.
What to expect with a Fay PCOS dietitian
Custom meal plan
No cookie-cutter meal plans over here. With Fay, you get a completely custom nutrition plan personalized to your PCOS symptoms and key concerns. This ensures the plan works with your care plan and overall lifestyle, making it easier to stick to (and achieve ideal results).
Convenient meeting times
All Fay dietitians work both virtually and in person, opening you up to providers across the country specializing in PCOS. This broader range of options makes it easier to find someone who is a good fit in terms of both expertise and personality.
Complementary treatment plan
Fay dietitians are well-versed in collaborating with other medical providers to ensure your nutrition plan is complementary to your other treatments. They can liaise directly with your doctors to help guarantee the best outcomes.
Supportive provider
Dealing with PCOS can be hard. With an empathetic, supportive dietitian by your side, PCOS management is easier.
How PCOS affects your health
Infertility
Many with PCOS struggle with fertility. With proper treatment, however, re-establishing a normal menstrual cycle and conceiving is possible. If conception is one of your goals, your Fay dietitian will account for that in your meal plan and support your fertility journey.
Weight gain
PCOS can make weight management difficult. Losing just 5% of your body weight can make a significant difference in your symptoms and hormone levels. Your RD will design a realistic plan that helps achieve sustainable weight loss to make you feel better and improve your symptoms.
Blood sugar imbalance
A lot of people with PCOS also have high blood sugar, which can make eating and meal timing challenging. Your Fay provider will teach you everything you need to know about blood sugar management so you can be empowered to make better food choices and improve your blood sugar levels.
Unpleasant side effects
PCOS comes with other unpleasant side effects, like excess body hair and skin problems. Proper treatment, including diet, can improve all of these side effects.
