Is there really a PCOS diet — or just good marketing?

Dear Insiders,

Lately, my social feeds have been flooded with ads promoting “the PCOS diet” — confident promises, tidy food rules, and the reassurance that if you just eat the right way, everything will fall into place. As someone living with endometriosis and a touch of PCOS, I understand why that kind of clarity feels tempting. Chronic conditions come with constant decision-making, and sometimes you just want someone to tell you what to eat and what to avoid.

But nutrition science is rarely that simple. When complexity is flattened into rigid rules, it’s often women who pay the price. In this week’s article, I unpack what the research actually says about PCOS and diet, where marketing gets ahead of evidence, and how to start figuring out what foods support your body without turning meals into another source of stress.
