This review is from: The Ultimate PCOS Handbook: Lose Weight, Boost Fertility, Clear Skin and Restore Self-Esteem (Paperback)

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1999, before any valuable information about the condition was available. Thanks to The Ultimate PCOS Handbook, I was able to learn about PCOS and its symptoms and discovered many ways to manage the condition and reduce the symptoms or rid my body of them entirely.

It's hard to hear that weight loss is often the best solution to the problem, but now that I realize how important it is, I'm willing to focus on that goal and make the changes necessary.

I've often felt alone when dealing with PCOS, but this book helped me to realize thousands of other women have experienced and continue to deal with condition as well.

very much enjoyed the book. great to just pick up and reference, don't have to sit and read chapters at a time. it helped me put together a lot of pieces that i wasn't able to find in the research i did. the only thing that isnt up to date is the medication treatment, because that is constantly changing, but the exercise tips and overall understanding are great.

This book presents information on PCOS in a very simple manner. Though the authors present some medication and birth control that is UK specific, some of the information is great.
