Movement is Medicine for PCOS with Prof Nigel Stepto

Are you referring your polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) clients for exercise interventions? If so, are you familiar with the evidence around what exercise, movement and lifestyle interventions are of the most benefit for women with PCOS? As a clinician and researcher Professor Nigel Stepto is an expert in this field and was part of the team developing the evidence-based Australian and the soon-to-release international guidelines for the treatment of PCOS. In today's podcast we delve into the many drivers of PCOS, the role of exercise and diet, and how they can affect both the physical and biological markers, as well as psychological and psychosocial aspects of PCOS patients. Professor Stepto is a key note speaker at the forthcoming ATMS Symposium on PCOS in September 2018 where he will share the new international treatment guidelines together with information aimed at helping more health professionals embrace exercise and lifestyle interventions as cost effective measures to improve quality of life outcomes for PCOS sufferers.
