Stefania Cattaneo
LOTUS FLOWER PCOS founding member
My name is Stefania Cattaneo and I am a Nutritionist Biologist. I have always been fond of sports and nutrition most of all related to the women. I work in my private office near Turin, there I see every sort of patients with really different problems and needs. Actually, I mainly deal with sports people (I got a Master Degree in Sport Nutrition in the summer 2016) and women who suffer from hormonal ailment linked to the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. PCOS was the topic of my last Degree Thesis and it was an absolutely long, hard and challenging work. On the other hand, I was able to get into the that part of the women’s world full of doubts, lack of self confidence, female problems, restlessness, dissatisfaction about their own body.
As in any good journey you always have to have a skilled guide and a bright model, mine was: Sasha Ottey, founder of PCOS Challenge, Inc., and Angela Grassi, an American nutritionist who specialized in PCOS and founded the PCOS Nutrition Center in Philadelphia. I met them in the Usa because they are the only ones who have been carrying on an amazing project for long time: they want to increase Us people’s awareness about PCOS. Sasha Ottey has been organizing unforgettable events all around the Usa; in these events, women get information and answers from the most important specialists in POCS in the world. Angela Grassi has been working flat out as nutritionist and motivational coach to drive her patients throughout the ordinary management of their lifestyles. They are great masters. So, I have asked myself: why not in Italy? Why can we provide our patients with scientific details and professional support here as well? Why can’t we set up a website which can provide everybody easy and handy topic?
