This past Friday I attended the Binge Eating Disorder Association's annual conference, which was right down the street in Scottdale. It was informative and inspiring! Lots of great information about research and programs with potential to help with PCOS.
For example, did you know that practicing mindfulness can actually help reduce postprandial (postmeal) glucose and reduce insulin resistance?
The proceedings from this conference are available on a USB stick that you can buy directly from BEDA. Here are the presentations and the names of the people who gave them. And here is the link if you wish to order this USB stick!
