Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder worldwide, affecting at least 1 in 10 women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB). It is the number one cause of infertility. Alarmingly, 3 in 4 of those with PCOS remain undiagnosed because of the complex nature of the condition. This practical guide shows you how to successfully manage your condition using proven lifestyle approaches alongside western medicine.  Dr Nitu Bajekal breaks through misinformation, providing clarity and support to help you tackle your symptoms - from irregular periods to acne and anxiety. The book features an easy-to-follow 21-day plan for hormonal health by Nutritionist Rohini Bajekal along with plant-based recipes and illuminating case histories.
