A Registered Nutritionist and former competitive multi-sport athlete, Clare Goodwin was diagnosed with PCOS in her twenties. Told that she would never have children, she set out to research lifestyle changes that could help to reverse her symptoms. Drawing on her own experience, and her qualifications in Exercise Prescription and Natural Fertility Education plus as a Registered Nutritionist, she began working with other women and developed the PCOS Protocol, a 12-week evidence-based program that treats the root causes of PCOS. She has helped thousands of women to address their hormonal imbalance, many of whom have gone on to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
What is this book about?
Have you been diagnosed with PCOS and been told:
“You’re going to struggle to conceive” or
“Just go on the pill and come back and see us when you want to get pregnant and we’ll deal with it then” or

In Getting Pregnant with PCOS you’ll learn the real truth. PCOS doesn’t make you infertile, you can ovulate and get pregnant naturally and weight loss shouldn’t be the focus.
