Case Study: PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and Muscle Growth
Patient Profile:
Sarah, a 29-year-old woman that has been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). She came to me with several health concerns related to her condition, including insulin-resistant PCOS, weight gain, fatigue, and difficulty building muscle. Also, her increased weight gain led her to joint pain and knee instability.
Objective Assessment:
During the initial assessment, I noted the following:
- Decreased of the muscle mass, especially in her lower limbs.
- Poor ankle stability and a knee valgus when performing squats.
- Elevated insulin levels, she was borderline prediabetes, and had low vitamin D levels.
Intervention Plan:
Weeks 1-6 – Foundational Strength & Metabolic Conditioning
The first phase of my program focused on establishing consistency, which is often challenging for women with PCOS. The primary goal was to enhance her insulin sensitivity and build her strength.
- Strength training: 3 times per week, using compound movements like squats, deadlifts, push-ups, and bent-over rows. I placed a focus strengthening her posterior chain to help with Sarah’s knee instability.
- Cardiovascular training: Low-impact steady-state light cardio 3 times a week, with additional HIIT sessions (30 seconds of work, 30 seconds rest) in order to improve her insulin sensitivity.
- Nutrition: A whole-food, balanced macro approach was implemented with the help of Francine, my favorite PCOS dietitian specialist, in order to priorities insulin-friendly foods, such as lean proteins, fibre-rich vegetables, and complex carbs.
- Intermittent fasting /Time-restricted eating : Intermittent fasting allows to not trigger insulin peacks during the day, eating only during a pre-determined window of time during the day helps to achieve this goal and improve insulin management without privation. Exp; you can eat only during a 8h window that suit your personal schedule. Exp: you can eat from 1pm to 9pm and the rest of the day you don’t.
- Physiotherapy: I used soft tissue release for her tight hip flexors and her lower back, along with mobility drills for her knee and ankle stability. Education on sleep, stress management, and hydration was also provided.
Results after Weeks 1-6:
- Weight loss: 4kg.
- Improved knee stability and better squat mechanics.
- Increased energy levels and no longer experiencing fatigue post-workout.

- Strength training: Increased to 4 times per week, with heavier weights (about 70% of 1RM) and higher volume (3-4 sets per exercise).
- Plyometrics and kettlebell circuits were introduced twice a week to increase intensity.
- Nutrition: Protein intake was increased to support muscle growth, and carb cycling was incorporated to optimize insulin management.
- Physiotherapy: Breathwork strategies for cortisol control and sleep hygiene practices were introduced to support recovery.
Results after Weeks 7-12:
- Total weight loss: 9kg.
- Increase of her muscle definition and significant strength gains.
- Improvement of her insulin sensitivity and reduced carb cravings.
- Enhancement of her mood and she gained a more stable energy levels.

- Strength training continued 4 times per week, with an emphasis on athletic-style training.
- A Habit tracking and a mindful eating approach were incorporated to improve her sleep quality and stress management.
Final Results:

Can Exercise Help with Weight Loss for Women with PCOS?
Exercise plays a crucial role in losing weight with PCOS, as it helps improve insulin sensitivity and burn fat. Our Personal Trainer in London can tailor an exercise program to address the unique challenges of PCOS. Strength training is particularly important as it helps build muscle mass, which boosts metabolism. Cardiovascular exercises, such as swimming or cycling, also play a key role in fat loss and overall metabolic health but they are not the most important exercises to do.
With the right guidance from a Nutritionist or Dietitian, you can improve your weight loss and manage your insulin resistance effectively.
What Role Does Insulin Resistance Play in Weight Loss with PCOS?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Its main role is to allow cells in the body to absorb the glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream, providing energy. Insulin also helps store excess glucose in the liver for later use. Unfortunately, Insulin resistance is the core issue in PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), making it harder for the body to regulate glucose in your bloodstream and so to lose weight. When your body becomes less responsive to insulin, the blood sugar levels rise and causes fat storage, especially around the abdomen. Involving a Personal Trainer, Physiotherapist, and Nutritionist is the best Holistic approach as it will help manage insulin resistance. Exercise, particularly strength training, can improve insulin sensitivity as seen before, and at the same time, a balanced, low-glycemic diet recommended by a Dietitian helps control your blood sugar and reduces fat storage This will supports weight loss and long-term health.
Can a Physiotherapist Help with Weight Loss for Women with PCOS?
Yes, a Physiotherapist can play a key role in weight loss for women with PCOS by addressing joint pain and muscle weakness. Many women with PCOS experience knee instability or lower limb weakness due to weight gain. Our Physiotherapist in London will create targeted exercises to improve joint stability and strength, reducing the risk of injury and improving your overall mobility. This allows women to remain active and consistent with their exercise routines, which is essential for weight loss.
What is the Best Exercise for Losing Weight with PCOS?
The most effective exercises for losing weight with PCOS are a mix of strength training, Exercises which increase muscle mass, light cardiovascular exercises, and low-impact activities. Our Personal Trainersrecommend high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to boost your metabolism, along with some resistance training to increase muscle mass and improve your insulin sensitivity. These exercises improve both fat loss and muscle preservation. Whether it’s lifting weights or swimming, a diverse fitness routine tailored to your need and schedule will helps women with PCOS to achieve their weight loss goals.
Can a Diet Help Regulate Hormones in PCOS?
A PCOS-friendly diet will help regulate hormones, particularly your insulin levels, and improve your symptoms like irregular periods and weight gain. Our Nutritionist recommends whole-foods-based diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber, while avoiding refined sugars and processed carbs and food that can exacerbate hormonal imbalances. This dietary approach not only helps manage your insulin resistance but also supports your overall hormonal balance. By working with a Dietitian, women with PCOS can develop a meal plan that targets both weight loss and hormone regulation, improving symptoms and enhancing overall health.
Can Intermittent Fasting Help with Weight Loss in PCOS?
Intermittent fasting has gained popularity as a strategy for women with PCOS looking to lose weight. By limiting the eating window, Intermittent fasting helps to avoid triggering insulin peaks during the day. For example, you will be able to eat during a 8h window of your choice. Most used window is 1p to 9pm or 12 pm to 8 pm. So your insulin peaks will be only during these 8 hours and less insulin will be produce outside of this window.
Nutritionists and Personal Trainers often recommend combining intermittent fasting with a nutrient-dense, low-glycemic diet.
What is the Role of a Dietitian in Helping with PCOS and Weight Loss?
Dietitian helps women with PCOS to manage their weight by creating meal plans that suit their eating habit and life style, but always with the idea to address insulin resistance and hormone regulation. Dietitians will focus on high-protein, low-glycemic foods, healthy fats, and controlled portions to support sustainable weight loss. They will also give you valuable advice on meal timing, particularly in relation to exercise, to maximize fat burning and muscle preservation. By working with a Dietitian in London, women with PCOS can develop a balanced eating strategy that supports both their weight loss goals and overall health, ensuring lasting results.
How Do Stress and Sleep Affect Weight Loss with PCOS?
Stress and sleep disturbances can significantly impact weight loss efforts for women with PCOS. High stress levels elevate your cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that promotes fat storage, especially around the abdomen.
Poor sleep disrupts hormonal regulation and affect appetite and metabolism. And once again the vicious circle takes place: You don’t sleep well so you unbalance your hormones, you don’t sleet well so you are stressed so you unbalance your hormones, you are stress so you don’t eat well, so you unbalance your hormones, You don’t eat well so you don’t have fuel for your strength exercises so you unbalance your hormones.
This is why it is important to break this vicious circle and fight PCOS on all fronts, rather than focusing on just one aspect.
Working with a Physiotherapist or Personal Trainer can help manage stress and improve sleep quality through relaxation techniques like yoga and deep breathing. A Nutritionist can also guide you on foods that promote relaxation and better sleep, helping to reduce stress and support your weight loss journey with PCOS.
