S1 E3. Non diet approach for PCOS with Cordula Henggeler

Food & Life Freedom with Emma Townsin

Today I am joined Registered Dietitian and PCOS expert Cordula Henggler. Cordula shares her knowledge and helpful advice about how you can support your body to manage PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) symptoms without diets and food restriction.

PCOS is a health condition heavily impacted by dieting and weight loss advice. But, as we discuss, this advice is rarely helpful and can cause a lot of harm to relationship with food and management of PCOS symptoms. There are many non-diet food and lifestyle changes that can help manage PCOS symptoms and support a healthy relationship with food and body.

Cordula is an experienced UK registered dietitian with a master's degree in nutrition. She specialises in PCOS, endometriosis, fertility and gut health. Her passion for hormonal health and the female body system comes from her own struggles with PCOS, IBS and a thyroid condition and the very limited support she received through the public health system.

She experienced first-hand how nutrition and lifestyle changes can impact our health and well-being and Cordula combines her personal experiences with her years of professional expertise to provide support to all those struggling with PCOS or endometriosis to feel comfortable in their bodies. She focuses on evidence-based nutrition solutions that go beyond quick fixes and restrictive diets.

Cordula is also passionate about inclusive care that is not stigmatising and not weight focused to ensure that the individual receives the support they deserve.

If you wonder where the accent is from, Cordula is originally from Switzerland, but left her home when she was 18 and since then has lived in the UK and then New Zealand where she also trained to become a dietitian before moving back to the UK in 2018.
