Weight and BMI are not reliable markers of health or wellness, and are mostly out of individual control.

You deserve better than a weight loss recommendation.

Welcome to a weight-inclusive care approach for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – a holistic and empowering way to manage this complex condition. Our healthcare professionals believe in providing compassionate and evidence-based care that prioritizes your well-being, regardless of your size or weight.

PCOS affects millions of individuals worldwide, presenting with a range of symptoms including irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, and difficulties with weight management. Traditionally, weight loss has been emphasized as a primary treatment goal, but we recognize that this approach is not suitable or sustainable for everyone.

Our weight-inclusive care model shifts the focus from weight to health-promoting behaviors and self-care practices. We understand that PCOS is a multifaceted condition influenced by various factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle choices. Therefore, we tailor our approach to address your unique needs and preferences.

 

Key benefits of our weight-inclusive care approach for PCOS include:

  1. Personalized Treatment Plans: We work collaboratively with you to develop personalized treatment plans that focus on improving your overall health and well-being, rather than solely on weight loss.

  2. Emphasis on Health, Not Weight: We promote health-promoting behaviors such as emotional wellbeing, balanced nutrition, regular physical activity/joyful movement, stress management, and adequate sleep, without focusing on weight as the primary measure of success.

  3. Improved Body Image and Self-Esteem: By shifting the focus away from weight, our approach fosters a positive body image and improves self-esteem, empowering you to embrace your body and its capabilities. We recognize that body image and confidence are not fixed by any specific way of eating, and often require some deeper healing; working with a fat-positive therapist can change your life.

  4. Long-Term Sustainability: Our goal is to help you develop sustainable lifestyle habits that support long-term health and well-being, without resorting to restrictive diets or harmful weight loss practices.

  5. Inclusive and Supportive Environment: We provide a safe and inclusive environment where you can feel supported and empowered to take control of your health journey, free from judgment or stigma.

Whether you are newly diagnosed with PCOS or seeking alternative approaches to managing your symptoms, our weight-inclusive care model offers a holistic and empowering approach to PCOS management. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can support you on your journey to better health and well-being.
