We are so glad you are taking the first steps to getting help to improve your relationship with food. It can definitely be scary, with a lot of unknowns. The team at Courage to Nourish is here to help. Below are some questions that may feel overwhelming to answer but can help you identify what you are struggling with, and what kind of support you need. Take your time to answer each question. If you need to take a break throughout the questions for a breather, and to regroup, feel free to do so. It is important to be patient and gentle with yourself along the way. We can help you determine what kind of support you may need to help you in your journey of healing. Please note - this PCOS quiz is not to be used for diagnostic purposes.
