Personal PCOS & Endometriosis Journey

Feng-Yuan Liu

Dietitian, Coach & CEO

With a Bachelor degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Monash University and over 10 years of clinical experience as a dietitian, Yuan is an expert in human nutrition.

However, her expertise isn’t just from clinical experience, but also from personal experience.

Yuan developed PCOS in her teens and also went on to have endometriosis, which was diagnosed in her 20s.

She tried everything to deal with the pain, the central weight gain and the exhaustion that came with the PCOS and endometriosis, made worse by the stress from owning and operating a half million dollar company.

Through these experiences, Yuan realised that conventional wisdom just wasn’t cutting it. Her energy levels were low, her brain was foggy and everything just felt harder than it should be. This forced her to reassess her knowledge, practice and beliefs around nutrition, and how she could use it to improve energy and peak performance as a business owner.

Yuan was able to, through nutrition, reverse her own PCOS and get her previously serious and rampant endometriosis under control. After 6 surgeries to remove cysts and endo over a 10 year span, her doctors were convinced that natural conception was not possible. However, Yuan beat the odds and last year in 2019 and gave birth to a naturally conceived baby girl, Charli, and again in 2023 with her second baby girl, Stevie.

For her clients, Yuan utilises bleeding-edge research to help them achieve hormonal and metabolic optimization. She believes that nutritional science is a rapidly progressive science, and following guidelines just will not allow her clients to receive the best quality care that is available.

Her passion in nutrition and thirst for being the best and helping her clients be at their best led her to becoming a world renowned dietitian and coach for small business owners striving towards peak performance.

Interview: ABC 4Corners – Big Sugar, Big Food and the Australian Dietary Guidelines

4 weeks ago, I was honoured to be interviewed by ABC 4Corners investigative journalist Michael Brissenden to discuss the state of nutrition in this country.

For a long time now, we know that the Australian Dietary Guidelines are riddled with faulty misinformation, and outdated science. It also doesn’t help that these very Guidelines are heavily supported and promoted by the Dietitians’ Association of Australia, the governing body that I (and over 6000 other dietitians) are registered with to keep our titles as Accredited Practising Dietitians.

In Australia:

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death, with 1 Australian killed every 12 minutes
Of the Top 7 leading causes of death in Australia, between all the various cardio and cerebral vascular conditions, sits cancers, dementia and diabetes.

Looking into the current body of evidence, we know that sugar and a high intake of carbohydrates, NOT fat, is the underlying problem for all these conditions.

So –

Why have we not yet implemented a much necessary tax on sugar in Australia?

Why are the outdated Guidelines promoting a low fat high carb way of eating still being regarded as the best framework for healthy eating?

But, more intriguingly –

Why are those who speak up against the Guidelines being punished and silenced?

With a public health crisis, and a refusal to step up and step in the right direction by leading health authorities in this country, it really makes us question the motive behind it all.

Putting it all on the line, we chat candidly with Michael about what we believe, and the change we desperately need to actually improve the health of Australians.

With The Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Dietitian’s Association of Australia (DAA) also being interviewed, make sure to tune in to ABC on Monday 30th April at 8:30pm AEST to see what unfolds.

SHOW UPDATE:
Unfortunately, none of my interview was actually aired on the show tonight. I’m disappointed on behalf of a LOT of dietitians out there that want to follow science based advice but are fearful of the repercussions of doing so. In the coming days I’ll be posting more about the challenges facing our industry and ways that we can start following the science when it comes to helping our patients.
