✨ Patient-Centered Care for Eating Disorders & PCOS
Friday, March 13, 2026

12:00–1:30 PM
Virtual on Zoom

As awareness of Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) grows, so does recognition of its complex overlap with eating disorders… yet clinical guidance at this intersection remains limited.
This live workshop offers a patient-centered, empowerment-based framework for supporting individuals with co-occurring PCOS and disordered eating. Through three in-depth case studies, presenters will explore how to design truly individualized care plans that address hormonal, nutritional, and psychological needs.

👩‍⚕️ Featuring:
• Laura Cipullo, RD, CDCES, CEDS, RYT
• Shannon Herbert, PhD, RD, CDN, RYT
• Doris Pastore, MD, CEDS

🧠 What you’ll learn:
✔️ How to distinguish hormonal vs nutritional causes of irregular periods
✔️ How to interpret PCOS diagnostic criteria in complex ED presentations
✔️ The role of the cholesterol pathway in hormonal balance
✔️ How to apply an empowerment-based approach integrating nutrition, movement, stress management, supplements, and medication
