PCOS Support Group

I want to thank all of those who attended the diet presentation on Tuesday (Low glycemic index diet for women with PCOS). Everyone I talked to expressed an interest in forming a local PCOS support group. LET'S DO IT! It would be such a great forum for education and support! I will email everyone who came to the presentation this week and start getting an idea on what night(s) would work best for the support group. Dr. Lunt and Kvarfordt are happy to let us use our office for now. We may need to find a bigger location as the group grows.

I will be at the What Women Want Expo in St. George, UT this weekend. Stop by our booth (we are promoting PCOS awareness and have information on our clinic). We are raffling a couple copies of The PCOS Workbook, by Angela Grassi, RD and Stephanie Mattei, PSY.D.

Thanks,

Lisa

Free presentation (on low-glycemic index diet) for women with PCOS on October 18, 2011

Low glycemic index diet for women with PCOS
320 E. 600 S. (Lowney Building)
Tuesday October 18
9 AM, 1 PM or 4:30 PM
Presented by: Jana Foggin (Dietetic Student) and Christie Benton R.D., C.D.

1 in 10 women have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Following a low glycemic index diet plays an important role in weight loss and reducing the risk of diabetes, heart disease and other long term health problems. Since many women are affected with PCOS, there is a large demand for dietary counseling. To address this need we are offering a free presentation with three convenient times. Seating is limited. Please do not miss out on this wonderful opportunity!

Please RSVP to Lisa A. Borunda at: lisa_fnp@infowest.com

Sponsored by: Chad C. Lunt, M.D., Tracy D. Kvarfordt, M.D., Lisa A. Borunda, FNP-C, and Katie A. Gubler, CNM
