Thriving with PCOS tackles areas not often covered in PCOS self-help guides. Here, Kelly Morrow-Baez does not offer a miracle ‘flash in the pan’ cure to PCOS, but a guide to adopting a sustainable, realistic long-term approach to reducing PCOS symptoms, allowing life to be lived to the full. I could feel the enthusiasm of the author, herself a PCOS sufferer, bubbling out of the pages—making it easier to take on board the suggested approaches. I like that this book is not just about ‘alternative’ approaches, but is a way of working through lifestyle approaches and working with healthcare professionals to achieve the best results.
