    28. Why I Shifted My Focus to PCOS (and What I Started Noticing in My Clients)

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a more personal side of my journey as a dietitian and walking you through why I shifted my focus to PCOS, and how that shift completely changed the way I support women. When I first started out, my work centered around helping women heal their relationship with food and move away from disordered eating patterns. But as I began working with more clients, I noticed a pattern I couldn’t ignore… so many of them were also struggling with PCOS. And not just in a surface-level way. They were dealing with intense cravings, low energy, irregular cycles, and feeling like their body wasn’t responding the way it “should”, even when they were trying to do everything right. This led me to dive deeper into PCOS, insulin resistance, and hormone health, and what I found was a major gap in the space. Women were either being told to restrict more, cut out foods, and follow overwhelming routines… or they were being given advice that didn’t fully support what was going on in their body. In this episode, I share what I started noticing in my clients, the turning point that shifted my approach, and why I believe you don’t have to choose between supporting your hormones and having a healthy relationship with food. If you’ve been feeling stuck, confused, or like nothing is really working, this episode will help you understand why, and what to focus on instead. Apply to PCOS Thrive Academy here!

    27. GLP-1s: Pros, Cons & How to Decide What’s Right for You

    GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now… and depending on who you ask, they’re either life-changing or completely harmful. So what’s actually true? In this episode, I’m breaking down GLP-1s in a way that cuts through the noise and gives you a clear, balanced, and evidence-based perspective. We’ll talk about what these medications actually do in your body, who they may be helpful for, and the potential downsides and research gaps that aren’t being talked about enough. I’m also sharing what I’m seeing as a dietitian working with women in real life, from those who feel scared to start, to those who didn’t have a great experience, to those who have genuinely benefited from them. We’ll also cover how to support your body in ways that mimic some of the benefits of GLP-1s, and how to decide whether this is something worth considering for you. This episode is not about telling you what to do, it’s about helping you feel informed, confident, and supported in whatever decision you make. PCOS Thrive Academy Application

    26. How to Get Your Hunger Cues Back After Dieting

    If you feel like you don’t know when you’re hungry anymore… or you’re going all day without eating and then feeling out of control at night, this episode is for you. So many women feel disconnected from their hunger cues, especially after years of dieting, trying to “eat less,” or managing PCOS in a really rigid way. But your body isn’t broken, your hunger cues didn’t disappear… they just got quieter. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how to rebuild that connection so you can start feeling more in tune with your body again. We’ll talk about why hunger cues go away in the first place, the most important step to getting them back (this one might surprise you), and how to use the hunger & fullness scale as a tool, not a rule, to build awareness and trust. If you’ve ever felt confused about when to eat, worried you’ll overeat if you stop controlling your food, or like your body just isn’t giving you clear signals anymore… this episode will give you a simple place to start. I also created a free Hunger & Fullness Scale guide to help you apply this in your day-to-day life, you can download it through the link below!! https://nutritionwithbrookie.myflodesk.com/hungerandfullness And if you want to join the waitlist for our June cohort of PCOS Thrive Academy, click here!

    25. The Truth About “Lean PCOS” (It’s Not What You Think)

    If you’ve ever been told you have “lean PCOS”… or you’ve felt confused because you have PCOS but don’t live in a larger body — this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: “lean PCOS” isn’t a different type of PCOS… and it definitely doesn’t mean your symptoms are less valid or less serious. In this episode, I’m breaking down what this term actually means, why I don’t love it, and how it can keep women stuck focusing on the wrong things when it comes to managing their symptoms. We’re also diving into what’s actually going on in the body with PCOS (hint: it has a lot more to do with hormones + metabolism than your weight), and what you should focus on instead if you want to start feeling better. This is the conversation I wish every woman had when she was first diagnosed. If you’re tired of confusing, weight-focused PCOS advice and want a more sustainable, realistic approach, you’re in the right place. And if you’re ready for step-by-step support, this is exactly what we do inside PCOS Thrive Academy 💛You can join the waitlist for the June cohort here!

    23. Macronutrient Series Part 3: Protein (The Truth About Protein, Hormones & the Protein Obsession)

    Protein is everywhere right now... protein cereal, protein chips, protein water, and even protein ice cream. Somewhere along the way, protein went from being an important nutrient to feeling like the only nutrient that matters! In the final episode of the Macronutrient Series, we’re breaking down the truth about protein and what it actually does in your body. We’ll talk about why protein is important for overall health and PCOS management, how much protein most people actually need, and why the current protein obsession can sometimes lead to unnecessary stress around food. You’ll also learn how protein supports muscle growth, blood sugar stability, and metabolic health, along with simple ways to incorporate enough protein into your day without tracking every gram or relying on ultra-processed “high protein” products. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re eating enough protein or if the internet has made you feel like you need protein in every bite, this episode will help bring some clarity.

    22. Macronutrient Series Part 2: Carbohydrates (What Actually Happens in Your Body When You Eat Carbs With PCOS)

    Carbohydrates might be the most misunderstood macronutrient in the PCOS world! For many women, the first piece of advice they receive after being diagnosed with PCOS is simple: cut carbs. But the science behind carbohydrates, insulin, and metabolism is far more nuanced than that. In Part 2 of the Macronutrient Series, we’re breaking down what actually happens in your body when you eat carbohydrates and why consistently fueling with carbs can support your metabolism, hormones, and energy levels. If carbs have ever felt confusing or scary, this episode will help you understand how they actually work in your body so you can move away from restriction and start using them strategically to support your health... and if you're ready to manage your PCOS without restriction or diets, you can apply to PCOS Thrive Academy here! Next week, we’ll wrap up the series with Part 3: Protein!!

    21. Macronutrient Series Part 1: Fat (The Truth About Hormones, Seed Oils & PCOS)

    If the word “fat” still makes you a little uncomfortable… this episode is for you. For years, women were taught that low-fat equals healthy. Then social media flipped the script and started calling seed oils toxic. And somewhere in the middle of all that noise, women with PCOS were left confused about what actually supports their hormones. In today’s episode, we’re kicking off Part 1 of my Macronutrient Series by breaking down everything you need to know about fat... without fear, extremes, or diet culture. We’ll cover what fat actually does in your body, how it supports hormone production, the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats, omega-3 vs. omega-6, and what’s really going on with the seed oil debate. We’ll also talk about why fat is especially important for women with PCOS, particularly when it comes to blood sugar balance, inflammation, and satiety. This episode will help you move from confusion to clarity so you can stop fearing fat and start using it strategically to support your metabolism and hormones. Because fat isn’t something to minimize, it’s something to understand. Stay tuned for Part 2 (carbohydrates 👀) coming next. If you’re ready for structured, personalized guidance on how to build balanced meals that support your hormones without restriction, you can learn more about PCOS Thrive Academy here!
