"The PCOS Workbook"

Thank you for your response to my last blog. Several people have expressed an interested in becoming involved in a local Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) support group. I am working on the details, and will keep you updated.

I found a really comprehensive, yet easy to understand book about PCOS. It is in the form of a workbook, and is designed for people with PCOS. It is called "The PCOS Workbook your guide to complete physical and emotional health." It is authored by Angela Grassi, MS, RD, LDN, and Stephanie B. Mattei, PSY.D (a dietician and a doctorate level therapist). It explains PCOS, How food affects your insulin levels, nutrition overview, PCOS and stress, body image, coping with infertility, and managing other medical conditions associated with PCOS.

I would highly recommend this workbook. It is full of great information, is self paced and, at a minimum, a good review if you have previously read a lot about PCOS. I also loved reading how passionate these ladies are about educating women with PCOS. I also love educating people about PCOS. I think I have become so passionate about it because I truly feel like I am making a difference. In my case it might only be one woman at a time, but it's significant, and meaningful to that one woman (and to me)!

Thanks,
