PMOS (formerly PCOS) Dietitian Perth
If you've recently been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), recently renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), or have been managing it for years, you've probably heard all sorts of confusing, conflicting advice.
"Cut carbs."
"Just lose weight."
"Go keto."
"Try this supplement."
It's exhausting. And honestly, it's often unhelpful.
Hi, I'm Jess, an Accredited Practising Dietitian based in Fremantle, supporting women across Perth and online with evidence-based, practical nutrition care.
A quick note: You may still see both PCOS and PMOS used interchangeably. The new name, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), better reflects our growing understanding that this condition involves hormones and metabolism, not just the ovaries. During this transition, both terms are commonly used.
1. Understanding PCOS
PCOS affects everyone differently. Some women struggle with irregular periods or acne, while others experience fatigue, cravings, insulin resistance, fertility concerns or difficulty managing their weight. No two women experience PCOS in exactly the same way.
That’s why I don’t offer “PCOS meal plans” or blanket food rules.
Instead, I work with you to understand what's going on in your body and how nutrition can support your unique symptoms and goals.
Because PCOS isn’t just about food; it’s about your hormones, your energy, your cycle, your overall wellbeing.
If you're wondering whether supplements like inositol, omega-3s or vitamin D are right for you, we can discuss the evidence together and decide what's appropriate for your situation.
2. Nutrition Can Help - Without Dieting or Deprivation
Yes, nutrition plays a powerful role in managing PCOS, but that doesn’t mean you need to cut out everything you enjoy.
In fact, extreme restriction can backfire, leading to binge eating, low energy, and more hormonal stress.
Instead, I focus on:
✔️ Balancing blood sugar with smart food pairings
✔️ Including carbs - in the right way, at the right time
✔️ Supporting regular cycles through meal timing, fibre and protein
✔️ Reducing inflammation through simple, sustainable swaps
✔️ Improving energy and reducing cravings without guilt
I take a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach, which means I care more about your health, habits and symptoms than what the scales say. If weight loss happens, that’s fine, but it’s never the only goal.
3. You’re Not Alone - I’m Here to Support You
Many women with PCOS leave their doctor’s office feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. Google throws a thousand opinions at you. Diet culture tells you it’s your fault. And it’s easy to feel like your body is working against you.
You can support your hormones and improve your symptoms with the right tools, and you don’t have to do it alone.
Whether you’re trying to improve your cycles, plan for pregnancy, manage fatigue, or just feel better in your body, I’m here to help you find a path that works for you.
If you're ready to take the next step, I'd love to help.
