Figuring out what foods to eat for PCOS can be hard and stressful, especially with all the misinformation out there. I'm here to change that! 👏🏻 What is PCOS? Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility and often results in stubborn weight gain that feels nearly impossible to lose. It’s also common for symptoms of PCOS to go undiagnosed because they masquerade as other issues and overlap with other conditions. 👉🏻 You’re not alone! I talk to women in this situation through my functional medicine clinic on an almost daily basis, and there is hope for natural, whole healing from this hormonal condition. While lifestyle changes, supplements, and exercise all help, inflammatory hormone conditions like PCOS must all be treated with diet above all else for the best results in the long term. 👉🏻 Assuming you avoid your personal food sensitivities, these food groups listed are the ones you should focus on eating if you have PCOS. For a more detailed list and foods you should AVOID, check out my recent article: https://bit.ly/3xQNWr6 I really hope this helps you!!

Visceral fat (belly fat) is a type of fat that builds up in your abdominal adipose tissue. It's a gel-like fat that wraps around and in between your organs. A large belly and a large waist is a sign of too much visceral fat which can lead to serious health issues. You can be slim but if you have belly fat this is still an issue! Belly fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, hormonal issues, cancer, dementia, depression, asthma, migraine and sleep issues. It's linked to every age-related disease.

Why do we settle for BANDAID SOLUTIONS when we can and should address the ROOT CAUSE? It’s alarming to see young female clients in my practice struggling with anxiety and depression while low cholesterol and NO Vitamin D goes unaddressed. Attached is a Lipid Panel screenshot of a 24 year old with anxiety, depression and feelings of low self worth. This is just one piece of the puzzle.. In Functional Nutrition, we view blood work as a constellation of stars. My first look is at the lipid panel, as low cholesterol can be a key player in mood regulation due to its role in serotonin production. Here’s what I look for: 🔍 Low Cholesterol Clues: 👉 Statin use (for older client population) 👉 Look at both red and white blood cells too for sigs of inflammation or infection 👉 Are they eating enough fat? 👉 Poor fat digestion? 👉 What is going on with Liver and Thyroid? 👉 Mineral deficiencies? 🩺 Decreased HDL Cholesterol: 👉 Look for Insulin resistance! Yes Insulin! 👉 Sedentary lifestyle - too much screen time and not enough playtime? 👉 What is their diet: Ultra processed foods and sugar? Caffeinated drinks? 💡 Decreased Triglycerides: 👉 Again look at diet and low-fat diet? 👉 Malabsorption issues and leaky gut? 👉 Autoimmunity Does your Healthcare Provider do a deep dive on your Labs or just say you are OPTIMAL - this does not mean NORMAL. We need to go beyond surface-level fixes and uncover what’s truly affecting your health and the health of those you love. Ready to dive deeper?

Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can disrupt your digestive system. 3. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can harden the stools, making them difficult to pass. 4. Fungal Overgrowth: Certain types of fungi in your gut can interfere with digestion. Hormonal Imbalance: Changes in hormone levels can affect bowel movements. 5. Magnesium Deficiency: This mineral is crucial for normal muscle function, including the intestines. 6.

This morning’s coaching call was with a client who has had type 2 diabetes and obesity for over 20 years. After firing his doctor who only wanted to prescribe more medications, he came to me to address his health with nutrition and lifestyle. With the changes we’ve made to his nutrition (eating an appropriate amount of protein, healthy fats for satiety, and cutting carbs), he is feeling amazing. He can now walk 2-3 miles a day without joint pain, has lost 45 lbs from his highest weight, and reported today that he has more energy than he has in decades. We are also using a continuous glucose monitor which is showing he is staying within the ideal range 24 hours a day now. At the beginning he was having blood sugar spikes over 250mg/dL. Now he averages 109! Metabolic health can be fixed with proper nutrition and lifestyle! #insulinresistance #walkingforhealth #metabolichealth #metabolismbooster #functionalhealth #longevityhealth #fixyourmetabolism #holistichealth #bloodsugarcontrol #bloodsugarbalance #reversingtype2diabetes #reversingdiabetes #lowinsulinliving #lowcarblife #metabolicboost #metabolicsyndrome #functionalnutritionist #holistichealthcoach #type2diabetes #prediabetes __________ ✨ Want to learn more about how to reverse insulin resistance symptoms? 🌟 ✨ Want to reduce or avoid unnecessary lifelong medications? 🔥 ✨ Want to address blood pressure, stubborn weight, low energy, and digestive issues associated with poor metabolic health?
