Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – Nutrition Support in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie

Personalised Support for PCOS

Take control of PCOS symptoms with evidence-based, non-judgemental nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormone condition that can cause irregular or absent periods, ovulatory problems, raised androgens (acne, excess hair growth) and signs of insulin resistance. Nutrition is a cornerstone of management – improving carbohydrate quality, meal timing and overall dietary pattern can help steady blood glucose, support ovulation and lower metabolic risk. At Ausclin, we emphasise evidence‑based strategies and also consider emotional wellbeing, because PCOS often affects mood and self‑esteem. Early recognition and coordinated care can really improve long‑term outcomes. We work with you to set realistic, personalised goals and monitor progress over time.

Our PCOS care – available in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and via telehealth – focuses on non‑judgemental, evidence‑based guidance for carbohydrate portioning and timing, anti‑inflammatory eating, and safe supplement advice when indicated. We help break dieting cycles, design sustainable activity plans, and work with your medical team for coordinated fertility or metabolic care. Appointments typically include a detailed assessment of symptoms, diet and lifestyle, and a clear plan you can start right away. Ongoing follow‑up ensures adjustments are made as your needs change.
