LIVING WELL™
Learning to Thrive with
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
A Healthy Lifestyle Program for PCOS Treatment

November 7 - November 13, 2010

A collaborative effort of Green Mountain at Fox Run
and inCYST* Programs for Women with PCOS.

Understand PCOS and try out new eating, activity and lifestyle choices you can live with long after your stay with us is over.

At least one in 10 women have polycystic ovary syndrome. Yet very little support exists to help them chart a healthy lifestyle course. That’s why Green Mountain at Fox Run and inCYST Programs have teamed up to create this special program.

Learn how to live well with PCOS. First, we’ll help you understand your diagnosis. Chances are, it took you a while to get a proper diagnosis, and along the way, you heard many different opinions and received a lot of advice. Some of it doesn’t seem right, and not all of it is consistent. The first step toward health is understanding just what it means to have PCOS. Knowledge is power, and we’ll give you basics that help you to evaluate information and incorporate what is most likely to work for you.

*InCYST is a network of professionals dedicated to providing evidence-based information on nutrition, activity, and lifestyle for managing PCOS. We’ll be incorporating their research and experience into our program designed specifically to address the needs and concerns of women with PCOS.
