#297: If you have PCOS, it can feel like you need to try every hormone hack on the internet. Detoxes, cutting out foods, and taking a dozen supplements. But most women with PCOS do not need to do more. They just need to simplify the basics. In this episode, we talk about how to “spring clean” your routine with simple upgrades in your kitchen, workouts, supplements, and nighttime habits. We cover a better way to build your breakfast, why strength training supports PCOS better than constant HIIT, common supplement mistakes, and small nighttime habits that help your hormones the next day. If you feel overwhelmed by PCOS advice online, this episode will help you reset and focus on what actually works.

#296: In this episode, we answer some PCOS questions from our Cysters!  We cover how to control cravings, whether intermittent fasting works, the best types of workouts, and if tools like weighted vests are worth it. We also dive into what labs can look like with PCOS, how long symptom improvement takes, whether slow weight loss still helps, and how to support more regular periods… and more!

#295: In this episode, I’m sitting down with Josie, who lost 120 pounds naturally with PCOS after finally learning how to support her body instead of fighting it. Josie was diagnosed at 17 and struggled with insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, irregular periods, hair loss, and facial hair. She did all the “right” things, ate healthy, worked out hard, and still felt stuck. We talk about the moment things clicked for her, why lowering stress changed everything, and how simplifying her approach, cutting sugar, prioritizing protein, going gluten and dairy free, and supporting her hormones helped her feel like herself again. This conversation is for anyone who feels exhausted by extremes and just wants a calmer, more realistic way forward.

#294: If you have PCOS and feel like you’re “doing everything right” but still struggling with hunger, cravings, or weight…this episode is for you. Women are often taught that their bodies are the problem, so when something doesn’t work, we blame ourselves. But what if the issue isn’t willpower… it’s the formulation? In this episode, we break down what food labels don’t tell you, and why PCOS women are especially vulnerable to certain “health” foods and marketing claims. We cover: - How foods are engineered for the bliss point and why PCOS appetite signaling makes this harder - The truth about “natural flavors” and how labels can sound clean without being supportive - Why “sugar-free” doesn’t always mean blood-sugar-friendly for insulin-resistant bodies - How low-fat foods can worsen hunger and blood sugar swings (plus a real coaching call example with a simple fix) This isn’t about restriction or cutting out everything you enjoy. It’s about understanding why your body responds the way it does, so you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that actually support PCOS hormones and metabolism.
