The Breakthrough PCOS Program
This program is geared at giving you the specific tools to take back your power over PCOS and to help you put down a foundation of habits to help you manage PCOS without the use of medications. Your body is a wonderful machine whose entire purpose is to help you stay in optimal balance and that includes your PCOS. In order for your body to balance or "achieve homeostasis" you simply need to know the right combination of lifestyle, environmental and nutritional factors for your body to achieve this goal.
In order to teach you what you need to know about how to take control over your PCOS Dr. Kourtney developed the Breakthrough PCOS Program. Sometimes when undertaking a complete lifestyle overhaul (or even a mini one) it can be a little overwhelming therefore the program is broken down into 4 pillars: Nutrition, Rhythm Management, Mind Mastery, and Movement. The pillar that you (or Dr.Kourtney) have chosen to work on right now is Nutrition.
What's The Tea? (straight from Dr. K)
Tha main thing that I want you to remember as you go through this program is that EVERYONE is unique! Although I'm going to teach you tenets of PCOS nutrition and what things are balancing in regards to this particular condition your body is an individual work of art. As such I want you to keep in mind that although everyone will respond to changes that are incorporated not everyone will respond the same way to every single change. This best example of this is the type of "diet" that you currently eat. You will notice as you go through this program that I have formulated the structure to focus more on nutritional tenets as opposed to following one particular type of diet for several reasons.
Not all PCOS types are the same therefore not every PCOS patient will respond to the same type of diet. Some PCOS patients will do better with a completely plant based diet while other PCOS patients will not see full control of their condition without incorporation of certain animal and organ meats. Not to mention that you may already have a dietary style that you like for example vegetarian, vegan, keto or paleo just to name a few. So rather than making you artifically conform to a specific set of menus and diet plans you will see that this program is structured to optimize whatever diet that you currently follow. Now you will need to adjust that diet to incoporate the Breakthrough principles but this way you will be able to configure the program into to one that is personalized to you!
TIP:
The truth is we eat with our eyes so rather than presenting you with a boring list of menus and shopping lists you will have access to secret Pinterest boards with recipe ideas and recipe modifications. Everyone will have access to the general Breakthrough board and you will also have access to a secreat board or board groupof your choosing based on the current dietary style you are following or that I have recommended.

Your Instructor
My training and education over my career have I have opened my perspective on the difference between disease "maintenance" (which unfortunately is most often delivered in the traditional medical model) and true wellness. In addition to my traditional Ob/Gyn training I have also received education in:
- Plant based nutrition from T. Colin Campbell.
- Education in Ayurveda in the Integrative Ayurveda Health Professionals Program at the Maharishi Ayurveda Institute
- Foundations of Herbal Medicine
- The Institute of Functional Medicine
In addition to these modalities and approaches I have also earned my certification from the North American Menopause Society as a specialist in the treatment of perimenopause and menopausal women.Currently I am a member of
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
- Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology
- The, North American Menopause Society
- Texas Medical Association
- The American Herbalist Guild
- The Institute of Functional Medicine
It is this background that allows me to fully embrace the perspective that true wellness naturally develops as a result of living a life that optimizes the best of ancient holistic traditions including those from the Ayurvedic, Eastern, and Herbal medical traditions as well as Western medical principles and knowledge. It is from this place that I believe that health is truly optimized. It is here that I have found that even some of the most challenging chronic disease states will respond. It is with the mission of fundamentally changing health that this course was developed to share this knowledge with you.
