A balanced diet focusing on whole foods, limiting processed foods and refined sugars, can help manage insulin resistance and support overall health.

Regular Monitoring

Regular check-ups and monitoring help track progress and adjust treatment as needed. Dr. Mannava provides ongoing support throughout your PCOS management journey.
