In today's episode, we're tackling a topic that is challenging for many women with PCOS- PCOS weight loss. Specifically, we're uncovering 3 PCOS dieting mistakes that are likely keep you from seeing long term weight loss and feeling healthier physically and mentally. The three common PCOS diet mistakes we'll break down here are the ones you absolutely want to avoid. The truth is that dieting, especially the kind that involves strict calorie counting, carb elimination, and fasting or meal skipping, can actually be harmful for PCOS. Why, you ask? Because it doesn't address the root cause of hormonal disturbances associated with this condition and is highly unsustainable (do you really want to avoid bread for the rest of your life?!) Instead, it can lead to physical and mental health issues that hinder rather than help. Counting calories might seem like a good idea for weight management, but for PCOS, it often falls short. We'll explore why focusing solely on calorie counting can be counterproductive and offer a more balanced approach to nourishing your body. Next up, the "carb elimination" myth. Carbohydrates are not the enemy! In fact, they can be crucial for maintaining energy levels and hormonal balance. We'll debunk this misconception and provide tips on incorporating the right kinds of carbs into your PCOS diet. And then there's meal timing. Skipping meals or irregular eating patterns can wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels and hormones. We'll delve into the importance of proper meal timing and how it can make a significant difference in managing your PCOS symptoms. By avoiding these three common PCOS diet mistakes, and following what I suggest you do INSTEAD, you'll not only gain more food freedom but also unlock the potential for meaningful, lasting changes in your body, hormones, and overall health.

Stress is all around us these days. Especially now! In a pandemic that seems like it will never end. But stress is one of the biggest factors that aggravate PCOS symptoms. It contributes to higher cortisol and therefore higher insulin resistance and androgens which are the key hormones that worsen PCOS. But mindfulness has been shown in many studies to reduce stress and even lower blood levels of these toxic hormones. But what is mindfulness?Mindfulness is about being present in the moment without judgment. It is about feeling and sensing your body and being aware of your body at that moment. In this episode we chat about:Women with PCOS are more likely to have anxiety and depression.Why I chose to start a mindfulness practice. How can mindfulness improve PCOS symptoms and improve blood work?How mindfulness can help you debrief a stressful parenting moment. The advantages of using mindfulness for your health.3 ways to practice mindfulnessThank you so much for tuning in to this episode.

I’m excited to have Lily Back on the show for a record 4th appearance! Make sure to check out the resources section below for the list of our previous episodes together. We’ve covered Gestational Diabetes, Exercise during Pregnancy, and A Real Food Diet for PCOS so far and, in today’s show, we talk about breastfeeding nutrition. Although your doctor might tell you that it doesn’t much matter what you eat when you’re breastfeeding, Lily begs to differ. We talk about what to do to make sure you’re making the most nutritious milk for your baby and also how to make sure that you’re getting enough nourishment during the critical few months after birth. Topics discussed in today's episode What happens to the body during breastfeeding? How do nutritional requirements for a woman differ when pregnant, trying to conceive, and breastfeeding? What happens to women when they’re not prepared for being as hungry as you get when breastfeeding? How does the quality of the food you eat relate to the quality of your breastmilk? How to be prepared for healthy options when you’re breastfeeding Good fats vs. Bad fats: what to look for and what to avoid What is breastmilk made of and how does it change to meet the requirements of the age and gender of your child? How different kinds of breastmilk impact babies Details about important nutrients when breastfeeding, such as Choline and Vitamin D Why do some women have trouble producing breastmilk and what can be done about it? Debunking the concept of a “pre-pregnancy body” and other myths about breastfeeding Postpartum depression: How nutrition and diet relate to it, what steps to take if you experience it, and advice on getting help.
