Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common yet complex endocrine disorders affecting women and people assigned female at birth. In this evidence-informed, practical webinar, Zara Hiridjee offers a holistic, person-centred approach to PCOS management — bridging the gap between clinical guidelines and real-world care.
You’ll begin with a clear overview of PCOS, including its prevalence, key symptoms, and diagnostic criteria, before diving into multifaceted management strategies. From nutrition and movement to gut health, stress, and sleep, this session will cover how interconnected lifestyle factors can shape outcomes. You’ll also explore the latest research on nutrition strategies, supplements, and the psychosocial considerations that are essential for sustainable results.
Whether you’re a dietitian, GP, nurse, or allied health professional, this webinar will equip you with practical, compassionate tools to support patients beyond weight-focused approaches — acknowledging the complexity of PCOS and the value of small, realistic changes.
