Food for Life

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is caused by a slight excess of androgens. These extra hormones can cause irregular periods, skin changes, polycystic ovaries, and infertility. They can also change body fat patterns and reduce insulin sensitivity. This leads to rising blood sugars and sometimes diabetes. This class will review the causes and symptoms of PCOS and diabetes and show how to combat them through healthful food choices. 

The class will include a video from medical staff at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine explaining the science behind the topic. Following the video we will engage in an interactive, multiple choice quiz to further understand the information covered. Finally, the time remaining will include a cooking demonstration of three recipes. There will be time for Q&A throughout the class and all recipes will be provided in advance along with other informational handouts. Cost: $5
