Sharing an update on my personal PCOS journey to hopefully help anyone who has been or could potentially be diagnosed with this hormone and metabolic condition.
What works:
- Patience- this didn't just "happen" overnight, and you won't heal it overnight
- Consistency
- Finding support- Personally, I found that support in the form of a COACH was a hugely benefical for me.
- Managing stress- This is actually number 1.
What doesn't work:
- Cutting out entire food groups- This is not sustainable and it's going to make you miserable
- Taking advice you hear on Instagram and Tiktok- Everyone is different and what works for some might not work for you.
- Thinking you can handle this completely on your own- Sis, we believe you. But please get a coach or nutritionist to help!
- Blaming your condition for everything, but at the same time....
- Denying that this is your reality
Whether you're suffering from PCOS or any other hormone-related condition, I hope that sharing my story can help you to know you're not alone and that it's ok to feel like you don't have it all figured out.
