In this power-packed solo episode, I dive deep into one of the most overlooked but game-changing habits for women with PCOS: eating breakfast. If you’ve been skipping it, running on coffee, or dabbling in intermittent fasting with little success, this episode is your wake-up call. Learn how the right breakfast can stabilize blood sugar, lower cortisol, reduce cravings, improve ovulation, and even support healthy weight release—especially if you’re dealing with insulin resistance or adrenal fatigue. I also share my signature breakfast formula, PCOS-friendly meal ideas, and how to make sustainable changes without restriction or overwhelm. If you’ve ever asked, “What and how much should I eat in the morning?”—this episode is your new go-to.

In the second episode of this two-part series, I continue my conversation with Matt Travis, a mind-body transformation specialist, hypnotherapist, and expert in rapid transformation therapy. Matt delves deeper into the fascinating concept of German New Medicine and its connection to the healing of physical conditions, including PCOS. This episode explores how emotional trauma and subconscious beliefs influence our physical health and why understanding this mind-body connection can be life-changing.

What if your physical symptoms weren’t just physical at all? In this eye-opening first episode of a powerful two-part series, I sit down with Matt Travis—a mind-body transformation specialist, hypnotherapist, and expert in rapid transformation therapy—to explore the deeply overlooked role of the subconscious mind in healing chronic conditions like PCOS. From unpacking childhood beliefs and unprocessed emotional trauma to breaking free from diagnoses that limit us, Matt shares how the stories we hold onto—often buried deep in our subconscious—can silently dictate our health outcomes. He explains how hypnotherapy works (no, it’s not about clucking like a chicken), what actually causes long-term weight gain or symptom flares, and how Rapid Transformational Therapy is helping people rewrite their internal operating systems—for good. Whether you’ve hit a wall with traditional methods, or you’re just curious about how your mindset might be influencing your hormones, this episode will help you see healing through a completely different lens.

In the final episode of this 3-part hormone mini-series, I bring it all together with a powerful, practical roadmap for healing your hormones—without the all-or-nothing pressure. From stabilizing blood sugar and managing stress to gut health, movement, and mindset, I walk you through the core strategies I use with clients to help them get back into hormonal harmony. If you’re overwhelmed by where to start or tired of feeling like your body is working against you, this episode will empower you to support your body instead of fighting it.

In this powerful second episode of a three-part series, I pull back the curtain on what happens when all the hormonal guests at the dinner party go rogue. From irregular periods and stubborn weight to skin struggles, mood swings, and chronic fatigue—I unpack how seemingly “random” symptoms are often connected and rooted in deeper hormonal imbalances. Using PCOS as a roadmap, I'll explain how insulin resistance, high cortisol, low progesterone, and estrogen dominance work together to disrupt your body’s natural balance. I'll also shine a light on why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed in the conventional medical system, and why healing often starts with education and advocacy. If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but you feel anything but, this episode is for you.

In this kickoff episode of a very informative three-part mini series, I pulls back the curtain on your hormonal symphony—the key players behind your cravings, fatigue, breakouts, mood swings, and more. If you’ve ever said, “I feel broken, like nothing works for me anymore,” this episode is your first step toward understanding that you're not broken—you're biologically out of sync. I introduce the key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones through a relatable dinner party analogy that makes these complex processes feel simple, even empowering. You’ll also learn the differences between the three types of estrogen—estradiol, estrone, and estriol—and how these can shift with PCOS, insulin resistance, or different stages of life. This is the foundation you wish you were taught in health class.

Together, we dive into how chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle factors contribute not only to PCOS symptoms like hirsutism but also to the bigger picture of women's health. From the connection between cortisol and insulin resistance to the emotional toll of shame, Hannah and I offer both personal stories and practical strategies to break the cycle. We explore holistic approaches for managing stress, from meditation and movement to float tanks and daily mindset shifts, while reminding listeners that healing is not just possible—it’s deeply personal and absolutely worth pursuing. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been on this journey for years, this conversation will leave you feeling more seen, supported, and empowered to take the next step toward healing.

What happens when life hands you a diagnosis you never expected? In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I sit down with Sam, a former coaching client who, at just 29, suffered a stroke and faced the reality of living with multiple health issues and medications. But instead of accepting that as her permanent future, Sam chose something different: she chose to fight for herself. Sam shares how she went from struggling with stroke recovery, heart surgery, and overwhelming medications to reclaiming her health through mindful eating, nervous system regulation, and a compassionate, realistic coaching approach. Though she doesn’t have PCOS, Sam’s story resonates with anyone who’s ever wondered if change is still possible after a scary diagnosis. From losing 60 pounds to reversing years of unhealthy habits and becoming an advocate for wellness in her community, Sam’s journey is living proof: it’s never too late to take back your health — or your life.

In the last part of this 3-part empowering conversation with Dr. Anya Szigeti, DC, DABCI, a chiropractic internist and functional-medicine nutrition expert, we unpack the often-overlooked link between gut health and hormone balance in PCOS. Together we debunk trendy parasite cleanses, probiotic fads, and “quick-fix” supplement stacks, while spotlighting the real keys to long-term healing: testing before guessing, tuning into your body’s signals, and giving yourself permission to rest. Dr. Anya shares her own Hashimoto’s wake-up call, explains why symptoms are “secret messages” (not annoyances to silence), and leaves you with the reminder that you have far more power over your health than you’ve been led to believe.

Dr. Anya shares her personal transformation from chronically ill patient to practitioner, and why conventional medicine failed to connect the dots. Together, they discuss leaky gut, estrogen detox, antibiotics, birth control, and even how your birth and breastfeeding history could shape your immune resilience. Whether you're struggling with fatigue, irregular cycles, or just want to understand your body better, this episode will open your eyes to the gut-hormone connection and help you take your healing to the next level—with compassion, clarity, and a dose of humor.
