We know that human metabolism is very complex but we often hear that weight loss is just about calories in vs calories out, also referred to as cico. While this may be true, nutrition and metabolism is way more complex than that and Aidan has a really great way of highlighting those complexities while still allowing you to understand what’s really important when it comes to energy balance and fat loss. In today’s episode we’ll be diving into the complexities of cico.

This week I've teamed up with Martha McKittrick to cover a very important topic, PCOS. Martha is a Registered Dietitian that has been specializing in working with PCOS for over 20 years. She's also a Certified Diabetes Educator which you'll hear in this episode why that's important for PCOS. She's been published in peer reviewed journals and lectures across the country on PCOS to both health professionals and patients. Martha is on the Health Advisory Board for the PCOS Challenge and advocates for PCOS annually on Capitol Hill.

In this episode we cover the prevalence and health risks associated with PCOS and some of the difficulties in diagnosing it. Martha also goes into the medical, nutrition, and lifestyle treatments as well as some of the common misconceptions around PCOS.

Martha, like many great practitioners, believes that nutrition strategies for PCOS are not a "one-size-fits-all” and she uses an evidence based and integrative approach to work with her clients to help manage their PCOS. She focuses on an approach that leverages nutrition, sleep, stress, physical activity, and supplements to tailor the appropriate program for her clients.
