    Spring Clean Your PCOS: What to Stop, Start & Simplify

    #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.

    How She Lost 120 lbs With PCOS Naturally: What She Stopped Doing

    #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.

    Hidden Ingredients No One Is Talking About: What Labels Aren’t Telling You

    #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.

    Do less: Micro habits for maximum results in 2026

    #293: In this episode, we’re talking about the micro habits that actually matter for PCOS in 2026… not more rules, not more restriction, and definitely not more overwhelm. If you’re already eating gluten-free and dairy-free, walking, lifting, doing Pilates, and still seeing weight fluctuations, fatigue, anxiety, or burnout… this episode is for you. The missing piece for many women with PCOS isn’t another habit; it’s nervous system and cortisol regulation. I break down small, realistic micro habits that quietly have a massive impact on hormones, cravings, stress, and consistency. These habits aren’t flashy. They won’t go viral. But they’re the exact foundation women with PCOS need in 2026 to lose weight sustainably, feel calmer, and stop fighting their bodies.

    A beginner's Guide to PCOS Meal Prepping

    #291: Feeling overwhelmed by meal prep? This episode breaks down exactly how to get started with PCOS-friendly meal prepping, without the stress or spending hours in the kitchen. Why meal prepping matters for PCOS: Your body is extra sensitive to blood sugar swings and inflammatory foods. Skipping meals or under-eating spikes cortisol, which worsens insulin resistance, inflammation, and cravings. Meal prep eliminates decision fatigue and reduces the daily stress that impacts your hormones. What PCOS meal prepping looks like: Low-effort, repeatable recipes that you actually want to eat—gluten-free, dairy-free, low sugar, high protein meals following the PCOS plate method. Beginner tips: Start small with just 1–2 recipes per week (like prepping only breakfast) and choose simple, quick recipes. Ready to take meal prep to the next level? Our 4-Week Meal & Workout Plan Kit (https://pcosweightloss.org/course-enrollment/) launches January 1st! Get done-for-you meal plans, workout routines, our PCOS protein powder, a lab kit to track your progress, and so much more. Everything you need to transform your PCOS in one complete system.   Featured Recipe: Chewy Protein Gingerbread Bars   Wet Ingredients: - 1/2 cup coconut sugar - 1/4 cup molasses - 1 cup butter, melted - 2 large eggs - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk Dry Ingredients: - 1 cup oat flour - 1 cup almond flour - 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour - 3/4 cup protein powder - 1 tsp baking soda - 1/2 tsp salt - 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1/4 tsp nutmeg   Watch the full episode for step-by-step instructions!
