Cory Ruth: Losing Weight with PCOS

This week we’re diving into a common problem for people with PCOS - weight loss. Many people struggle to lose weight without making their PCOS symptoms worse, and it’s one of the most common reasons people want to work with a PCOS dietitian.    With PCOS, it’s not as easy as calories in/calories out or hopping on the latest diet trend. There are many factors that affect the ability to lose weight with PCOS and each patient has their own set of needs and goals, so it’s impossible to offer blanket advice for how to lose weight with PCOS. And, depending on who you follow, you may even wonder if you’re wrong to even WANT to lose weight.   That’s why I wanted to bring in a guest expert who has a whole program built around how EXACTLY to lose weight with PCOS.   Meet Cory Ruth, a Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist, and women's health expert. Cory is the founder and principal of The Women's Dietitian and Instagram account @thewomensdietitian, a private practice and digital platform for women seeking nutrition support for hormone balance, PCOS, fertility, and weight management.
