So happy to see the new All-Party Parliamentary Group report on PCOS published here in the UK. And what a damning report it is too.

While we regularly hear these stories from our clients in clinic, it was still devastating to read some of the statistics:

- 2.7 out of 10 - the average rating patients gave healthcare providers’ communication with them during diagnosis
- Only 3% of patients felt supported and informed by their healthcare provider.
- 34% of respondents waited more than 4 years for a PCOS diagnosis

Thankfully there are some great recommendations which could put change in place. Watch this space. And in the meantime, we are always here to support you - just get in touch.

Here’s the link to the full reporthttps://static1.squarespace.com/static/681cadfb3719d664b7337819/t/68bea7c79232014fbfaaf5b9/1757325255835/APPG+PCOS+REPORT.pdf

Did you know that around 1 in 10 women in the UK are affected by Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS), yet many don’t even know what it really is?

Despite the name, not everyone with PCOS has ovarian cysts – and not everyone with cysts has PCOS. Confusing, right? That’s why awareness and education are so important.

One of our latest blogs breaks down the key facts about PCOS; what it is (and isn’t), common symptoms, and the factors that can drive it. Whether you have PCOS, think you might, or simply want to understand more, this is a must-read.

GLP-1: It’s not just about medication.

You might have heard of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic or Wegovy being used for PCOS, but did you know your body produces its own GLP-1 in response to certain foods and gut signals?

GLP-1 is a hormone that supports blood sugar balance, appetite regulation, and digestion - areas that are often disrupted in PCOS.

Medication can be helpful for some, but it’s not the only option.

In one of our latest blogs, we’re sharing 5 natural ways to support your body’s own GLP-1 production, through nutrition, lifestyle, and simple daily habits that can make a big difference.

Taking Ozempic, Wegovy or Saxenda for PCOS? Don’t skip this.
GLP-1 receptor agonists can be a powerful tool for some women with PCOS, helping to manage insulin resistance, appetite, and weight.

But what you eat while taking these medications still matters. A lot.

With reduced appetite and slower digestion, there’s a real risk of missing out on essential nutrients, unless you’re intentional with your meals.
Our latest blog shares 5 essential nutrition tips for women using GLP-1 medications, including:
🍳 Why protein should be your priority, especially with small meals
🌱 The power of soluble fibre to support your gut, blood sugar and natural GLP-1 release
💊 How to spot signs of potential nutrient deficiencies
💧 What to do about nausea, bloating or constipation
🧠 Why rest and nourishment still matter, even during weight loss

Our team at PCOS Clinics have worked with women on GLP-1 medications, helping them protect their energy, hormone balance and long-term health. If you’d like tailored support, we offer a free 30-minute discovery call to talk things through.

Feel like nothing’s working with your PCOS?

You're not imagining it, and you’re not failing. Weight gain and difficulty losing weight are common with PCOS, even when you're doing all the “right” things.

At PCOS Clinics, we take a different approach, one that considers your hormones, metabolism, appetite, stress levels, and what you’ve already tried.

We’ll talk through what’s going on for you and explore support options that actually work with your body, not against it.

Afternoon Tea Week is here, and if you live with PCOS, you might be wondering whether there’s room for scones, cakes and all the fun that comes with it.

The short answer? Yes! When you make choices that work with your hormones.

Here are a few PCOS-friendly ideas to bring balance and joy to your afternoon:
🍓 Mini oat and almond scones – made with ground almonds and whole oats for more fibre and healthy fats
🍫 Dark chocolate protein bites – blood sugar balance in a sweet little package
🍰 Almond flour raspberry cakes – naturally gluten-free and rich in healthy fats
🥒 Cucumber & hummus mini sandwiches – refreshing, fibre-rich and full of crunch
🍃Herbal teas – think spearmint for androgens, or cinnamon for blood sugar support

It’s not about restriction, it’s about supporting your body and still enjoying the foods you love.
