    Living with PCOS: Fertility, Nutrition Myths, Sleep & The New PMOS Name Change

    Have you been told to cut carbs, go dairy-free, lose weight or follow a strict diet for PCOS? In this episode, I'm joined by Amy, a PCOS nutritionist and founder of PCOS Hub, to separate fact from fiction when it comes to managing PCOS and supporting fertility. We discuss why there is no single "best" diet for PCOS, the importance of building sustainable habits, and why many women are focusing on restriction when they should be focusing on nourishment. Amy also shares her thoughts on the recent proposal to rename PCOS to PMOS what this could mean for women, and why there is still so much work to be done in women's healthcare. Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are trying to conceive, or simply want to better understand your hormones and menstrual cycle, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based advice. In This Episode We Discuss: 🌸 What PCOS is and how it affects the body 🌸 Why there is no one-size-fits-all PCOS diet 🌸 The truth about keto, low-carb, dairy-free and gluten-free diets 🌸 Why focusing on what you can add to your diet is often more helpful than restriction 🌸 The role of protein, healthy fats and balanced meals 🌸 How movement and exercise can support PCOS symptoms 🌸 Why over-exercising and under-fuelling can sometimes do more harm than good 🌸 The connection between stress, hormones and PCOS 🌸 Why sleep may be the most underrated factor for hormone and fertility health 🌸 PCOS and fertility: where to start if you're trying to conceive 🌸 The proposed PCOS to PMOS name change and what it means for women 🌸 Why women with PCOS deserve better awareness, research and support Key Takeaway One of my favourite messages from this conversation is that managing PCOS doesn't have to be complicated. Rather than chasing restrictive diets and quick fixes, Amy encourages women to focus on sustainable habits, balanced nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. As she explains, it's not about perfection—it's about creating realistic habits that support your health for the long term.

    How to Reconnect With Your Body When You Don't Trust It Anymore If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, frustrated by your cycle, or like you're constantly trying to "fix" yourself, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I sit down with womb energy healer, birth doula and yoga teacher Jessica Botello to explore the connection between our physical bodies, emotional wellbeing and the stories we carry as women. We talk about why so many women struggle to trust their bodies, particularly during fertility challenges, and how practices such as yoga, meditation, energy healing and simple self-awareness can help us reconnect with ourselves. Jessica shares her perspective on womb healing, what it means, how emotions can become stored in the body, and why creating space to listen to ourselves may be one of the most powerful things we can do. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, moving through a difficult season, or simply looking to build a healthier relationship with your body, this episode offers a gentle invitation to slow down and reconnect. In this episode we discuss: ✨ What womb healing actually is ✨ The connection between the womb, emotions and the body ✨ Why so many women struggle to trust themselves ✨ The impact of guilt, shame, perfectionism and self-blame ✨ Fertility challenges and body resentment ✨ How yoga can help rebuild trust in your body ✨ The role of intuition in women's health ✨ Women's circles, community and healing ✨ Energy healing explained ✨ Why awareness is the first step towards healing ✨ A simple heart-and-womb meditation to try at home ✨ Learning to support yourself with compassion instead of criticism ✨ How presence can help us navigate both grief and joy Jessica's Simple Practice Jessica shares a beautiful practice for women who are feeling disconnected from their bodies: Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your womb space.

    Pregnancy After Miscarriage: Holding Hope Through Fear with Emma from Becoming Mama Yoga

    Pregnancy after miscarriage can feel like carrying both hope and heartbreak at the same time. In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Emma from Becoming Mama Yoga to talk about recurrent pregnancy loss, navigating pregnancy after miscarriage, and finding ways to hold onto hope when fear feels overwhelming. Emma shares her experience of having four miscarriages between the births of her children, the support she wishes had existed, and how yoga, mindfulness and maternal mental health support became anchors through grief. If you've experienced pregnancy loss yourself, please know this conversation was recorded with you in mind. We hope it helps you feel seen, supported and a little less alone. In This Episode We Discuss: • The powerful reminder that you can move towards love, even when fear is present • Challenging anxious thoughts without forcing positivity • What miscarriage actually looks like physically and why so many women feel unprepared • When to seek medical support and where to find help • The importance of maternal mental health specialists • Using yoga and mindfulness as tools for anxiety, grief and depression • The isolation of pregnancy loss and how to support someone who is grieving • Why we need more open conversations and better research around recurrent miscarriage • The role of preconception care after loss Memorable Quotes "You can live in love or fear and not both." "It didn't save any of my babies to be fearful." "It is not your fault."

    #24 What Women's Health Really Means Beyond Diet and Exercise | Hormones, Energy & Wellbeing in Your 30s

    Join the 5-day Flow with your Cycle Yoga challenge: https://livsarahberryyoga.kit.com/d4f9b42756 What Women's Health Really Means Beyond Diet and Exercise | Hormones, Energy & Wellbeing in Your 30s When you think about being healthy, what comes to mind? For many women, health has become synonymous with weight loss, appearance, fitness goals and looking a certain way. But what if true health has far less to do with how you look and far more to do with how you feel? In this episode of The 30-Something Shift Podcast, we're exploring a different definition of women's health—one that goes beyond diet culture, aesthetics and the pressure to constantly optimise ourselves. We'll talk about why so many women are exhausted, stressed and disconnected from their bodies despite doing "all the right things," and why energy, hormones, mental health and emotional wellbeing deserve to be at the centre of the conversation. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why women's health is about more than weight loss and appearance ✨ The connection between hormones, energy, mood and overall wellbeing ✨ Why painful periods, PMS, fatigue and burnout shouldn't be ignored ✨ How stress and mental health impact physical health ✨ What changes many women notice in their 30s and why they matter ✨ How to build a healthier relationship with your body ✨ A new way to think about health that prioritises wellbeing over aesthetics If you've ever felt frustrated by wellness advice that focuses only on how your body looks, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to truly feel healthy. Topics covered: women's health, hormone health, menstrual cycle health, energy levels, mental wellbeing, stress management, PMS, burnout, healthy habits, cycle awareness, wellness in your 30s, body image, holistic health, yoga for wellbeing. 🎧 Subscribe for weekly conversations on women's health, menstrual cycles, fertility, pregnancy, yoga and navigating life in your 30s. #WomensHealth #HormoneHealth #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #MenstrualCycle #PMS #BurnoutRecovery #WomensWellness #HealthyHabits #YogaForWomen 💌 Let’s Connect: Join the 5-day Flow with your Cycle Yoga challenge: https://livsarahberryyoga.kit.com/d4f9b42756 Practice Yoga with me: Liv Berry - YouTube Learn more: www.livsarahberry.com Subscribe & review the podcast to help more 30-somethings find this showEmpower yourself.
