#38 The Downside of Restrictive Diets for PCOS, Overcoming Food Fear & Disordered Eating with Laurence Annez

Hormones in Harmony

“The risk of disordered eating is believed to be 4 times higher in women with PCOS, compared to controls, so that’s why you really need to be careful with too much restriction, especially over long periods of time”.
Laurence Annez is a certified nutritional practitioner and health coach, specialising in PCOS. She is passionate about teaching women with PCOS how to ditch the belly fat, cystic acne, irregular cycles, and victim mindset by showing them how to nourish their bodies and find true body love and self-healing.

She does this through guided nutritional coaching, personalised and sustainable diet and lifestyle recommendations, and mindfulness. She believes that the key to a healthy life is sustainable change that feels good and is different to each person. She herself suffered from chronic cystic acne, digestive problems, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction & disordered eating. She managed to reverse her PCOS symptoms through nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset work.

It was through her own healing journey that bred her passion to helping others heal as well. Today she coaches women all over the world through her coaching programs.
