This episode is for anyone who’s a bit tired of constantly focusing on all the signs and symptoms of being unwell. It’s so easy to get bogged down in that and it’s also really easy to be so laser focused on a particular health outcome that you completely miss the subtle little signs that you are actually making progress! We loved pulling this episode together and chatting about all the little signs to celebrate. And if you feel super far from healed, we hope this episode highlights some manageable little goals you might like to aim for. Because yes, we all want the big things ticked, but the little things matter too and sometimes, they feel much more tangible and in reach. Hope you love the ep!

If there’s one thing that has been the primary driver of both of our PCOS journeys – it’s been stress. As business owners, mums and just women in the world – stress isn’t going away. But we have found ways to manage it and support our stress response from the inside out. In this episode we look at the herbs, supplements and lifestyle practices that can help your body handles stress better and help your mind to be better prepped for stressful periods of life. If you’re someone who has a high stress job or day to day life but feel like you ‘thrive under pressure’ – don’t ignore this ep. We relate to you so much because we have identified as that in the past too…but stress can be having more of an impact than you realise and you may really benefit from bringing in some support.

About 70-80% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance so this weeks deep dive is such an important one for so many of us. In this episode we look at the herbs, supplements and lifestyle practices (and nutritional HACKS!) that can help balance your blood sugar and insulin. If you have insulin resistance – addressing it is one of the most impactful things you can do for your PCOS. Insulin resistance increases our androgens, causing irregular cycles and all of our pcos symptoms PLUS can lead to more chronic health conditions like diabetes – so this isn’t one to gloss over – addressing it can really turn things around for you.
