Cory Ruth
I struggled for what seemed like FOREVER with irregular periods, anovulatory cycles, and ridiculous weight gain even though I spent the majority of my time focusing on “healthy eating” and “exercising.”
Enter: My PCOS Diagnosis.
This changed the game for me and completely flipped the script. I dedicated my life’s work and career to learning EVERYTHING I possibly could about this complex condition so that I could educate and empower other women to take back control of their health, weight, and vitality and finally become the BOSS of their PCOS.
My love of science and belief in food as preventative medicine led me to complete five years of rigorous academic study and earn a master’s in nutritional science. I view the female body as a responsive and regenerative system that knows exactly what to do when given the proper support.
