Why this PCOS Liver Support: Sautéed Radicchio with Garlic works for PCOS

At 20g of carbohydrates per serving, this PCOS Liver Support: Sautéed Radicchio with Garlic is on the lower-carb end, which suits women with PCOS who have confirmed insulin resistance or who notice strong post-meal energy crashes.

Lower-sodium meals are useful for women with PCOS who also experience bloating or who are managing blood pressure alongside metabolic concerns.
