Irregular or missing periods? Struggling with your weight, however hard you try? Dealing with acne, unwanted hair or thinning hair, or cravings and energy dips that seem to come out of nowhere?
If you’ve been diagnosed with PMOS (previously known as PCOS), or suspect you might have it, you’ve probably been given plenty of conflicting advice and very little real support. The good news is that changes to your diet and lifestyle can make a real difference to your symptoms and how you feel.
I’m Maria Kolotourou, a Greek registered dietitian based in the UK. I have over 20 years of experience, and my work focuses on women’s hormonal health. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your body and build a way of eating that works for you.
Sessions are online, in English or Greek.
Is This Programme Right for You?
This programme is for women who:
- Have been diagnosed with PMOS, or suspect they have it
- Have irregular or absent periods
- Are dealing with acne, unwanted hair growth or hair loss
- Find their weight hard to manage, despite trying diet after diet
- Have been told they have insulin resistance or suspect it
- Are trying to conceive, or planning to in the future
- Want a dietitian who understands Mediterranean food culture and life away from home
I work with many Greek women living abroad, as well as women from any background who’d like a Mediterranean approach.
“After years of irregular cycles and failed diets, Maria’s approach was completely different. No strict restrictions, no cutting out carbs, and no forbidden foods. My cycles are more regular and I’ve gradually lost 6 kilos. I truly feel calmer and enjoy food again.” — Anna K., 32, Bristol
How Nutrition Helps with PMOS
- Insulin and blood sugar: many women with PMOS have some degree of insulin resistance, even at a healthy weight, and the right food choices can improve it
- Cycles and hormones: supporting more regular cycles and easing symptoms such as acne and unwanted hair
- Weight and body composition: a realistic approach that goes beyond “just eat less”
- Energy, cravings and emotional eating: steadier energy and a calmer relationship with food
- Long-term health: lowering your future risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease
Nutrition works best alongside any medical treatment you may be on, such as metformin or the contraceptive pill. If you’re trying to conceive, have a look at my Fertility & Pregnancy Nutrition Programme too.
My Approach
- Mediterranean diet: the traditional Greek way of eating, one of the most researched eating patterns for PMOS and metabolic health (read more)
- No restriction: no forbidden foods, no extreme diets, and carbs are not the enemy
- Personalised: a plan built around your symptoms, your goals and your lifestyle
- Holistic: sleep, stress, movement and your relationship with food and your body
- Understanding life abroad: Mediterranean recipes using ingredients from your local supermarket, plus family meals and social occasions
How It Works
1. Free 15-minute discovery call: We talk about your symptoms, your goals and which programme option would suit you best. If I think a different approach would serve you better, I’ll be honest with you.
2. First session (45 minutes): You complete an online assessment before our first meeting, then together we agree your priorities and build your personalised plan.
3. Follow-up sessions (30 minutes): Every two weeks, with weekly check-ins and online support in between.
Programme Options
12-Week Programme
Six sessions over three months, in three phases:
- Month 1 (weeks 1–4): assessment, resources and your personalised nutrition plan
- Month 2 (weeks 5–8): adjustments based on your progress, such as balancing blood sugar, navigating hunger and cravings, meal planning, eating out and supplements
- Month 3 (weeks 9–12): consolidating your new habits, fine-tuning sleep, stress and movement, plus a clear framework for carrying on independently
Cost of the 12-week programme: £430 / €515
If we feel you need further support after the 12 weeks, you can continue with 4-week cycles or book ad hoc sessions as you need them.
Flexible 4-Week Cycles
Two sessions every four weeks, for as long as you need.
Cost of the 4-week programme: £150/ €180

Both the 12-week and 4-week programmes include:
- a personalised plan
- relevant resources
- weekly check-ins
- optional online food and mood diaries
- unlimited online support between sessions
- access to a dedicated client platform
Check-in Sessions
Ad hoc 30-minute sessions to check in and fine-tune your plan as your circumstances change. Available once you’ve completed a programme.
- Single session: £70 / €85
- Pack of 3 sessions: £195 / €235 (use within 4 months)

Check-in sessions don’t include food and mood diaries, online support or weekly check-ins.
What I’d Like You to Know
I can’t promise a specific amount of weight loss, or exactly when your cycles will settle. How your body responds depends on many factors, including how long you’ve had symptoms, your degree of insulin resistance, any medication, your sleep and your stress levels. Some women lose weight gradually. Others maintain their weight while their cycles, energy and blood results improve.
What I can promise is honest, evidence-based support. Many women who work with me notice fewer cravings, steadier energy and a calmer relationship with food within 4–8 weeks. Over 3–6 months, many see more regular cycles and improvements in other symptoms.
A Little About Me
- I’ve lived in North Yorkshire with my family since 2017
- I have 20+ years of experience, including working for the NHS as Lead Dietitian in Adult Eating Disorders, and running my own private practice in Athens
- I hold an MSc in Nutrition from King’s College London and a BSc (Hons) in Dietetics from Harokopio University, both with Distinction
- I am an HCPC-registered dietitian and member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA)
“As a Greek woman living in the UK I was struggling to get a PCOS diagnosis from my GP. Maria understood exactly what I was dealing with—both the medical and psychological side of it. She supported me in requesting further tests from my doctor and finally got it. Together, we adjusted my diet to fit my busy life and crazy schedule. The constant cravings and extreme fatigue are finally under control, and I feel lighter—both physically and mentally!” — Elena P., 28, Manchester
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this help regulate my periods?
For many women, yes. Improving insulin sensitivity can help cycles become more regular, often over 3–6 months. Everyone responds differently, though, so I can’t guarantee it. - Do I have to give up carbs?
No. Carbs are not the enemy. We focus on the type of carbs, what you eat them with, and how much, so you can enjoy bread, pasta and fruit without the blood sugar rollercoaster. - I’m on metformin or the pill. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely. Nutrition works alongside your medication, and I’m happy to liaise with your GP if needed. - I’m not Greek. Can I still join?
Of course. Sessions run in English, and the Mediterranean way of eating adapts to any culture and kitchen. - Should I choose the 12-week programme or the 4-week cycles?
The 12-week programme suits you if you’d like steady, structured support over a longer period. Research suggests new habits usually take around two to three months to become established, so this option supports you throughout that time, and it comes with a small discount. The 4-week cycles suit you if you prefer flexibility, or would like to see what working together feels like before committing for longer. We can decide together which option suits you better on your discovery call. - Do you recommend supplements?
It depends on your diet, your test results and your individual needs. Supplements such as inositol, vitamin D or omega-3 can help some women with PMOS, but they’re not right for everyone. Food always comes first, and if we identify any gaps, I’ll guide you towards what can genuinely help.
