Why We Chose This Book

Women’s hormonal issues are complex and too little research has concentrated on the major variables involved. In the US, a modified version of the keto diet is used by most PCOS patients to help with weight control. This book approaches PCOS control with plant-based diet and lifestyle therapies backed by evidence-based research.
