PCOS
Approximately 5–6 million women in the United States are affected by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that often goes undiagnosed.
Understanding PCOS is an essential first step in improving hormonal health and getting the right nutrition support.
This physically and emotionally challenging condition affects women (and individuals AFAB) of reproductive age, yet PCOS is still widely under‑diagnosed and poorly understood. Many patients are told to simply “eat less and exercise more,” which often overlooks the real root causes. At New York City Nutrition, we frequently see women with PCOS who are actually undereating, undernourished, and dealing with chronic stress and high inflammation: factors that can drive a wide range of hormonal symptoms. Our NYC‑based nutrition approach focuses on restoring balance, improving metabolic health, and supporting long‑term hormonal wellness.
