Alyssa Pacheco, RD, LDN
Alyssa is a Registered Dietitian at The PCOS Nutritionist Alyssa. Her interest in PCOS grew after being diagnosed with this condition. Alyssa had been struggling with infertility and irregular periods after going off of hormonal birth control. As she learned more about PCOS, it was obvious that I've had symptoms since her teenage years. Alyssa quickly learned that there is very little guidance often offered within the medical community aside from medications and a weight loss prescription, as well as a ton of conflicting information (and misinformation) out there on the best approach for PCOS. She then decided to specialize in PCOS, spending countless hours staying up to date on all the research in regards to PCOS. Alyssa realized that PCOS is a lifelong condition and it really needs a balanced approach that will suit you for life. After years of experience and fine tuning my approach, she has helped hundreds of women manage their PCOS symptoms while also enjoying foods that they love.

Hydration Tips for Seniors: Foods to Keep You Refreshed
Alyssa suggests incorporating high-water-content foods like watermelon, strawberries, and cucumbers to prevent dehydration. "Homemade popsicles and nutrient-dense soups, such as bone broth, are also effective." For those needing more calories, full-fat dairy and avocado paired with hydrating veggies can help. These strategies are particularly beneficial for seniors who may not feel thirst as acutely.
