Description

Our current treatment to PCOS is very limited leaving many women left dealing with infertility, risk of cardiovascular disease and progression into diabetes mellitus type 2.  Making it more difficult, is the varying PCOS phenotypes with different hormonal and metabolic needs. Most clinicians are not adequately trained to assess the underlying causes of PCOS, a complex and chronic disease.  You will delve into the explosion of new information about the gastrointestinal microbiome and the link to specific chronic complex metabolic diseases, such as PCOS.  Learn how you can implement strategies such as nutrition, diet, and exercise both treat and prevent PCOS in your patients.
