    19. If Your Health Routine Can’t Survive a Vacation… It’s Not Healthy

    Vacations have a way of bringing up a lot of anxiety around food, routines, and the fear of “losing progress.” But here’s the truth: a lifestyle that only works in perfect conditions isn’t sustainable and it isn’t truly healthy. In this episode, I’m sharing what my recent trip to Hawaii reminded me about health, flexibility, and why being able to step out of your routine without guilt is actually a sign of a strong, balanced foundation. We’ll talk about: Why vacations can feel stressful around food and healthHow rigid routines can backfire in the long run The hidden health benefits of rest, joy, and flexibility How to approach vacations in a way that supports your body Why you don’t need to “get back on track” after a trip If you’ve ever felt anxious about traveling, eating differently, or losing progress, this episode is for you. And if you’re ready to build habits that work in real life - not just in perfect conditions - that’s exactly what I help women do inside PCOS Thrive Academy.

    18. Before You “Listen to Your Body,” You Have to Feed It

    Intuitive eating doesn’t start with listening to hunger cues, it starts with eating consistently. In this episode, we talk about why consistent nourishment comes before intuitive eating, especially for women with PCOS! You’ll learn how under-eating and long gaps between meals can disconnect you from hunger and fullness cues, why eating more at first is often part of the healing process, and how this phase can sometimes feel like binging, even when it’s not. I even share a bit of my own personal journey with this step... and trust me, you're gonna want to hear it! If intuitive eating has felt overwhelming, confusing, or “out of control,” this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening in your body and why you’re not doing it wrong!

    17. Gut Health, Inflammation & the Power of Fiber

    Gut health is one of the most talked-about topics in wellness. In this episode, Brooklyn breaks down what gut health actually means, how the gut microbiome influences inflammation, hormones, and overall health, and why fiber is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for supporting your gut. You’ll learn why restriction often makes gut issues worse, how inflammation shows up beyond digestion, and simple, realistic ways to support gut health through nourishment and consistency... without fear or food rules! If you have PCOS and want guidance that supports gut health, hormones, and inflammation without dieting, this is exactly the approach we take inside PCOS Thrive Academy.

    16. A Dietitian’s PCOS Story (And What Changed Everything) with Kailey Lewis

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by fellow PCOS dietitian Kailey Lewis, who was diagnosed with PCOS as a teenager and has personally navigated the confusion, frustration, and overwhelm that so many women with PCOS experience. Kailey shares her journey of suspecting she had PCOS for years before being officially diagnosed, being handed birth control as the only solution, and feeling lost, hopeless, and unheard. While studying nutrition and becoming a registered dietitian, she began applying what she was learning to her own life, ultimately managing her symptoms and losing 30 pounds without extreme dieting or giving up the foods she loves. In this conversation, we talk about the harm of restrictive PCOS advice, why so many women feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” and how a more strategic, supportive approach to nutrition can make a powerful difference, both physically and mentally. This episode is for you if you’re exhausted by conflicting PCOS advice, tired of feeling guilty around food, or wondering if it’s possible to feel better in your body without restriction!

    15. The Difference Between Managing PCOS and Healing Your Relationship With Food

    If you have PCOS and feel like you’re doing everything you were told to do, eating “clean,” being consistent, following the rules, but still feel exhausted, anxious around food, or stuck in constant food noise, this episode is for you. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the difference between managing PCOS and actually healing your relationship with food. Most women are taught how to control symptoms, but not how to support their bodies in a way that feels safe, sustainable, and flexible long term. When fear-based nutrition and restriction are layered on top of PCOS physiology, symptoms often get louder, not better. I walk through why this happens, how under-eating and food rules can backfire hormonally, and what it really means to nourish your body with PCOS instead of fighting it. We also talk about how healing your relationship with food doesn’t mean ignoring nutrition or structure, it means building an approach that supports hormones and mental health. This episode is for anyone who wants to manage PCOS without obsession, loosen the grip food has on their thoughts, and finally feel more confident trusting their body again. This is the exact approach I teach inside PCOS Thrive Academy, where we combine evidence-based PCOS education with food freedom and personalized support, without diet culture.

    13. Why Telling Women With PCOS to "Eat Less" Is Making Things Worse

    For many women with PCOS, nutrition advice sounds like: eat less, cut carbs, and try harder. But what happens when following that advice leads to food guilt, obsession, restriction, and worsened symptoms? In this episode, Brooklyn dives into the often-overlooked connection between disordered eating and PCOS, inspired by a real client story that highlights a much larger issue in PCOS care. You’ll learn why weight-focused recommendations are so common, how chronic restriction impacts hormones and metabolism, and why eating more, not less, is often the missing piece for PCOS management. This conversation is for anyone who has felt confused, blamed, or discouraged after doing “everything right” and still not seeing results. Why women with PCOS are 2–3x more likely to struggle with disordered eatingHow calorie restriction and carb fear fuel food obsession and binge-restrict cycles The role of stress hormones and under-fueling in worsening PCOS symptoms Why weight loss is not required for improvements in insulin resistance or hormone balance How eating more consistently can actually support blood sugar and metabolism Why healing your relationship with food is a core part of PCOS care, not an afterthought What to focus on adding to meals and snacks instead of what to cut out You didn’t fail PCOS management.PCOS management often fails women by ignoring biology, stress, and mental health. The solution isn’t more control or less food, it’s more nourishment, consistency, and compassion. If this episode resonated with you and you’re ready to manage your PCOS without restriction, guilt, or food rules, Brooklyn supports women inside PCOS Thrive Academy, a program focused on fueling your body, balancing hormones, and healing your relationship with food at the same time. 👉 Apply here: https://form.typeform.com/to/iKnpNXF5 If this episode hit home, share it with a friend or leave a review, it helps more women find this message!!
