It’s PCOS awareness month this September. I was diagnosed with PCOS (along with psoriasis and HPYLORI) when I was in my mid 20’s. I wanted to understand why and what was going on and that was the beginning of my journey into nutriton and functional medicine. I managed to reverse this all and here is where I started: - ensuing all my meals were blood sugar balanced. That meant all meals should contain protein, healthy fats, slow releasing carbohydrates and greens - Coffee always after a meal if you drink it and never on an empty stomach. This helps keep your blood sugars stable. - Reduce/ managing stress. Stress raises blood sugar! Can’t get away from stress but managing it as much as possible is important. Incorporating things like mindfulness, yoga or breath work can all be so helpful Remember high insulin drivers many of the symptoms of PCOS and so working on this is foundational. All the above help with it. After this I then took a big dive into my gut health. It has an effect on every other system in the body. Will talk about this more tomorrow.
