Medical gaslighting and weight bias are huge problems for patients with PCOS. This is incredibly harmful as I know many of you are already either under eating, micromanaging everything that goes into your mouth and/or stressed out about food. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Your lived experiences are valid ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for a safe space to learn about PCOS where you can feel happy and free learning about nutrition, then my PCOS Freedom program is for you. 🙌🏽 I teach you how to decrease the stress around food while also improving insulin resistance and lowering labs like cholesterol and triglycerides. 🎉 No dieting and no questioning your lived experiences. 💁🏽‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My program helps you go from feeling anxious and stressed around food to feeling happy and free! ✨✨Launching in April.✨✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you ever struggle with binge eating? ❤️ You're not alone!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Binge eating is really common with PCOS. Being told constantly that you need to lose weight, the encouragement to restrict and underlying insulin resistance can all lead to binge eating - it's not your fault!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my clients felt so paralyzed with anxiety around food that she would restrict all day and skip meals 😭 Then she would eventually be *starving* and binge on candy and fast food. This would lead her to feeling guilty and ashamed, and the cycle would start all over again. 🥺⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My program helped her:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Establish her worth, independent of her weight⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Re-establish regular eating habits that improved her insulin resistance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ End binges for good⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My client told me she feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off of her shoulders 🎉🎉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My program, PCOS Freedom, will be launching again in April! My program helps you go from feeling anxious and stressed around food to feeling happy and free! 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ever feel like you're dodging diet advice left and right with PCOS? 👇🏽 Leave me a comment and let me know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it’s:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌ keto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌ counting calories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌ intermittent fasting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌ trying to cut out carbs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These types of diets may have appeal in the short term, but we know from both studies and client experiences that dieting doesn't work long-term for anyone, especially not PCOS. If you've ever "fallen off of the wagon" with dieting and felt ashamed or guilty, please know that it wasn't your fault. The diet failed, not you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Super excited to be launching PCOS Freedom again, soon! 🎉 I teach you how to improve insulin resistance and lower labs like cholesterol and triglycerides without dieting. My program helps you go from feeling anxious and stressed around food to feeling happy and free!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PCOS Advocacy is around the corner and we'll continue asking Congress to support efforts to bring awareness to PCOS and take steps towards more research funding from the NIH. Despite affecting somewhere between 10-20% of people born with a uterus, PCOS is not listed as one of the nearly 300 research and disease areas within the NIH. The NIH invests about $41.7 billion in medical research each year, 80% of which is allocated to extramural research, grants, medical schools and universities. People can't do medical research on PCOS without funding to do so.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The way PCOS is categorized with NIH is outdated - it's almost like it doesn't have a home because it affects so many part of the body. But that shouldn't matter... what should matter is that it affects your quality of life, and you deserve more and better information about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It makes me kind of ragey that the only way this can change is through congress. Your health should not be political, but it is. I will not stop fighting for this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Has anyone ever made you feel like PCOS was your fault? 👇🏽 Leave me a comment and let me know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PCOS isn't your fault ❤️ We think that genetics and environmental factors play a role in the development of PCOS. I'm looking forward to PCOS Advocacy Day in a few weeks to push for more funding for research so that we can learn more about this condition that affects millions and millions of people.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You can register as an advocate by visiting @pcoschallenge Instagram account! They have all of the details. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A lot of times supporting a non-diet approach to nutrition is mistaken for being anti-nutrition or anti-health. That couldn't be further from the truth. It's actually the ❤️ opposite, since we know that dieting is linked to poor health outcomes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there does come a point where thinking about nutrition crosses the line into being harmful to health. Here's what I see with my clients:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Feeling anxiety around grocery shopping, sometimes to the point of skipping groceries and ordering takeout every night. Ordering takeout is completely OK if you want it, but ordering it because you are so anxious about preparing the 'wrong' thing at home is another story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Setting nutrition rules that are SO rigid that no one could ever follow them. This leads to giving up and feeling like health is completely unattainable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Skipping social events (pre-pandemic) because the thought of being "out of control" around food there was too much. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Something I teach to clients is the concept of "Gentle Nutrition". This is understanding nutrition concepts for PCOS but also embracing the huge grey area of nutrition. This approach leads to ✨less anxiety✨ around food and leads to better health outcomes - lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and improved PCOS symptoms like more regular periods.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for new services coming soon. 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
