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.

Weight Loss – Same Same But Different

General Health| Weight Loss

January 10, 2026•2 min read

Weight Loss is such a big part of what we as dietitians and nutritionists do every day. Whether people are trying to lose weight to improve health markers, fit back into old clothes, feel more confident, be at the correct weigh-in weight for a competition, achieve a certain percentage body fat in time for a physique competition, weight loss is the number one reason why clients come to see us at Metro Dietetics.

However, since there is more than one reason for weight loss, there needs to be more than one approach.

Over the years, we have heard clients come in saying that they have tried many things to lose weight in the past, but nothing has worked long term. We have also heard clients come in saying that they need to lose X kgs in body fat and improve energy levels and performance, and hopefully gain some lean mass in time for footy pre-season.

Should these two types of clients receive the same advice? Should they even be advised using the same approach? Of course not.

That is why at Metro Dietetics we think it is so important to recognise that even though someone’s reason for booking in is “weight loss”, how we go about it, and who is best for the job (so to speak) will be different.

At Metro Dietetics, we help our clients for weight loss utilising two distinctly different approaches. Let’s have a look at the two approaches we use side-by-side to see what differentiating traits they have:

There is no right or wrong approach – however, there is always an approach that is more or less suited to you and your needs. If you are unsure which approach best suits you, consult with a Metro Dietetics dietitian or nutritionist and we can help you figure that out.
