Spring Clean Your PCOS: What to Stop, Start & Simplify

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 04:48:32 -0700

#297: If you have PCOS, it can feel like you need to try every hormone hack on the internet. Detoxes, cutting out foods, and taking a dozen supplements.

But most women with PCOS do not need to do more. They just need to simplify the basics.

In this episode, we talk about how to “spring clean” your routine with simple upgrades in your kitchen, workouts, supplements, and nighttime habits.

We cover a better way to build your breakfast, why strength training supports PCOS better than constant HIIT, common supplement mistakes, and small nighttime habits that help your hormones the next day.

If you feel overwhelmed by PCOS advice online, this episode will help you reset and focus on what actually works.

How She Lost 120 lbs With PCOS Naturally: What She Stopped Doing

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:05:00 -0800

#295: In this episode, I’m sitting down with Josie, who lost 120 pounds naturally with PCOS after finally learning how to support her body instead of fighting it.

Josie was diagnosed at 17 and struggled with insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, irregular periods, hair loss, and facial hair. She did all the “right” things, ate healthy, worked out hard, and still felt stuck.

We talk about the moment things clicked for her, why lowering stress changed everything, and how simplifying her approach, cutting sugar, prioritizing protein, going gluten and dairy free, and supporting her hormones helped her feel like herself again.

This conversation is for anyone who feels exhausted by extremes and just wants a calmer, more realistic way forward.

Hidden Ingredients No One Is Talking About: What Labels Aren’t Telling You

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:05:00 -0800

#294: If you have PCOS and feel like you’re “doing everything right” but still struggling with hunger, cravings, or weight…this episode is for you.

Women are often taught that their bodies are the problem, so when something doesn’t work, we blame ourselves. But what if the issue isn’t willpower… it’s the formulation?

In this episode, we break down what food labels don’t tell you, and why PCOS women are especially vulnerable to certain “health” foods and marketing claims.

We cover:

- How foods are engineered for the bliss point and why PCOS appetite signaling makes this harder

- The truth about “natural flavors” and how labels can sound clean without being supportive

- Why “sugar-free” doesn’t always mean blood-sugar-friendly for insulin-resistant bodies

- How low-fat foods can worsen hunger and blood sugar swings (plus a real coaching call example with a simple fix)

This isn’t about restriction or cutting out everything you enjoy. It’s about understanding why your body responds the way it does, so you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that actually support PCOS hormones and metabolism.

Do less: Micro habits for maximum results in 2026

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:05:00 -0800

#293: In this episode, we’re talking about the micro habits that actually matter for PCOS in 2026… not more rules, not more restriction, and definitely not more overwhelm.

If you’re already eating gluten-free and dairy-free, walking, lifting, doing Pilates, and still seeing weight fluctuations, fatigue, anxiety, or burnout… this episode is for you. The missing piece for many women with PCOS isn’t another habit; it’s nervous system and cortisol regulation.

I break down small, realistic micro habits that quietly have a massive impact on hormones, cravings, stress, and consistency.

These habits aren’t flashy. They won’t go viral.

But they’re the exact foundation women with PCOS need in 2026 to lose weight sustainably, feel calmer, and stop fighting their bodies.

#292: What if everything you've been told about weight loss with PCOS is wrong? Taylor believed harder workouts would finally help her lose weight after years of struggling with PCOS, irregular periods, and fibromyalgia. Instead, the high-intensity training was keeping her stuck.

In this episode, she shares how discovering the cortisol-PCOS connection changed everything, and why switching to weighted, low-stress training helped her lose 50 pounds in under two years. This is the conversation every woman with PCOS needs to hear about hormone balance, adrenal fatigue, and sustainable weight loss.

A beginner's Guide to PCOS Meal Prepping

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:05:00 -0800

#291: Feeling overwhelmed by meal prep? This episode breaks down exactly how to get started with PCOS-friendly meal prepping, without the stress or spending hours in the kitchen.

Why meal prepping matters for PCOS: Your body is extra sensitive to blood sugar swings and inflammatory foods. Skipping meals or under-eating spikes cortisol, which worsens insulin resistance, inflammation, and cravings. Meal prep eliminates decision fatigue and reduces the daily stress that impacts your hormones.

What PCOS meal prepping looks like: Low-effort, repeatable recipes that you actually want to eat—gluten-free, dairy-free, low sugar, high protein meals following the PCOS plate method.

Beginner tips: Start small with just 1–2 recipes per week (like prepping only breakfast) and choose simple, quick recipes.

Ready to take meal prep to the next level? Our 4-Week Meal & Workout Plan Kit (https://pcosweightloss.org/course-enrollment/) launches January 1st! Get done-for-you meal plans, workout routines, our PCOS protein powder, a lab kit to track your progress, and so much more. Everything you need to transform your PCOS in one complete system.

The important link between PCOS, depression, and anxiety

Tue, 07 May 2024 00:05:00 -0700

#232: Why do women with PCOS have higher rates of depression and/or anxiety?

Many women with PCOS attribute their depression and anxiety due to concern about physical experiences but there’s more to the story than our physical changes.

Having insulin resistance and other hormonal imbalances can interfere with our mental health. It’s been known that the interactions between various hormones and the resultant feedback loops can lead to mood disturbances.

In this episode, we break down the impact of PCOS on mental health as well as provide steps and examples to help manage mental health.

Remember that you are not alone in your journey!

Please note: This podcast discusses topics related to depression and anxiety. If you are experiencing symptoms, we strongly encourage you to seek guidance from a qualified health professional. Your mental health is important, and there are resources available to help you.

The best PCOS skincare tips + products for healthy glowing skin!

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 00:05:00 -0800

Whenever we open social media or a magazine, we’re bombarded with altered images of perfection. This unattainable image can be particularly disheartening for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

PCOS causes a hormonal imbalance that affects the body in a number of ways. High levels of androgens (otherwise known as ‘male’ hormones) lead to a host of symptoms, including insulin resistance and weight gain. Excess androgens also cause increased sebum production, leading to acne and oily skin. The best PCOS skincare tips + products for healthy glowing skin!

When treating PCOS acne, masking the symptoms with traditional acne treatments may not be the answer. Acne is an outward manifestation of inflammation in the body combined with elevated levels of androgens, such as high testosterone levels.

To treat and reverse acne caused by PCOS, we need to understand the root issue that sparks a flare-up.

It’s not about understanding your ‘skin type’, washing your face more, or buying expensive creams to reverse your symptoms. It’s about supporting your hormonal imbalances and making healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes. After all, healthy skin starts from within.

Check out this episode where I talk about my top PCOS-friendly skincare tips to calm your breakouts and have a healthy glowing skin!
