I am very excited to announce the beginning of what will be an ongoing and productive partnership with professional lactation consultants. On April 28, 2009, I will be presenting at a meeting of lactation consultants at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California.
The presentation will include:
--a basic introduction to polycystic ovary syndrome
--the importance of nutrition for minimizing risks of pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and premature delivery
--the importance of nutrition for minimizing risks of lactation problems, postpartum depression, and sleep issues in newborn babies.
Lactation consultants are a crucial link in the identification and management of PCOS, and I am thrilled to be able to meet with this group in California to begin networking and learning how we can support each other in our respective work.
I will be posting more information about this presentation on my website as it becomes available: www.afterthediet.com/inCYST.htm.
I am especially grateful to Pat Ross, who has orchestrated this meeting and laid the groundwork for it to happen. Here's to our two heads being a whole lot better than just one…Pat, thank you much, see you in April!
