In this episode of PCOS, Debunked, Alex Okell RNutr is joined by fellow nutritionist and friend Shannon Western ANutr to explore how gentle nutrition can help people manage PCOS without restriction or guilt.
Together, they discuss why a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach is key to long-term hormone and metabolic health, the most common PCOS nutrition questions Shannon hears in clinic, and what “gentle nutrition” actually looks like in real life.
Packed with practical, evidence-based advice, this episode helps listeners understand how to nourish their body, regulate symptoms, and feel more confident in their food choices - without falling into the trap of all-or-nothing thinking.
New episodes of PCOS, Debunked are released weekly, featuring expert guests and real-world strategies for living well with PCOS.
