Martha McKittrick: Managing PCOS When You Have No Weight to Lose
Many people are told to lose weight to alleviate their PCOS symptoms. But what if you don’t have any extra weight to lose? About 20–30% of people with PCOS are living with Lean PCOS, meaning their BMI does not qualify them as overweight or obese. They don’t gain extra weight because of PCOS, so they have to address their issues and symptoms differently than the general PCOS population. Often following recommendations that are meant for the more common form of PCOS worsen symptoms for those with lean PCOS.
Meet Martha McKittrick. Martha is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator with over 25 years of experience. She has been specializing in PCOS for over 15 years. She has been published in peer-reviewed journals and was the nutrition editor for the book A Patient's Guide to PCOS - Understanding and Reversing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
In this episode, I sit down with Martha to discuss Lean PCOS, how it’s different from typical PCOS, and how people with Lean PCOS can find treatment for their symptoms.
This Week We Talk About:
