Friday vibes 💁🏽‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The conversation around the “harms” of Kristy Kreme giving out free donuts is a perfect illustration of how diet culture is a huge distraction from addressing the underlying issues that truly affect health. We know from research that social determinants of health are much more impactful than diet alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we're talking about Krispy Kreme but we're not also talking about social determinants of health like economic stability, access to *quality* healthcare, racism, food security (and the list could go on) then we're missing the point.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, rant over. 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know this was the diagnostic criteria for PCOS? 👇🏽 Leave me a comment and let me know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is called the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosing PCOS. You must meet at least 2 of the 3:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Irregular or absent periods⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Either labs or physical symptoms of elevated androgens⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Polycystic ovaries on an ultrasound⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PCOS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning other reasons for your symptoms may need to be ruled out before a PCOS diagnosis is made.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever heard about the benefits of Magnesium? 👇🏽 Leave me a comment and let me know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Magnesium can help with so many things related to PCOS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Insulin resistance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Anxiety⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Blood pressure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Inflammation⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pumpkin seeds, almonds, spinach and cashews are great sources of magnesium!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Supplements are a great back-up option but I always recommend trying to get vitamins and minerals from food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I see in my PCOS Freedom program that many people find exercise daunting - sticking with a routine feels difficult and group members feel bad about themselves when they 'fall off the wagon'.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we shift thoughts away from the idea of burning calories and more to to just body movement, being active and feeling connected to how you're feeling afterwards then we are able to build routines that are motivated by taking care of ourselves both physically and mentally.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I help you work through this in the PCOS Freedom Program! My program helps you improve hormone imbalances while also letting go of the diet mindset. And exercising to burn calories is definitely part of that diet mindset cycle!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When your diet has a start date.... Responding to a comment I received about someone going on a strict diet for 4 months to try to regain their cycle ❤️

Not your typical Monday post from me but I just wanted to take a moment to share in some happy news - on Friday, I was able to go and visit my grandmother. I hadn't seen her in almost a year ❤️.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This past year has been so heavy for all of us - we've experiences stress, fear, anxiety, and lost time with loved ones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give yourself some grace and self-compassion when thinking about PCOS, hormones and health. Your body has been helping you make it through the trauma of the past year ❤️

How are you feeling about body acceptance? Leave me a comment and let me know ❤️👇🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Body acceptance doesn’t mean you’re bad or wrong for wanting to lose weight. It does mean that health, happiness and food peace are possible when dieting doesn’t work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The seeds of body dissatisfaction are planted when we’re very young. Whether it’s a TV commercial, a page in a magazine or even your favorite celebrity telling us all that if we just lost weight then our lives would be perfect and amazing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know that this isn’t true, yet this messaging keeps sucking us in. If you feel ready to step out of that messaging and reclaim your life then you have a home here ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A big part of my PCOs Freedom program is practicing body acceptance. Your body respect and kindness every day. ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you like to eat breakfast? 👇🏽 Leave me a comment and let me know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Skipping breakfast or not including protein with breakfast can backfire. This can cause you to have poor energy in the morning, think about food a lot and overeat at the next meal. This can even set the foundation for a binge later on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ There are so many ways to include protein at breakfast. I don't recommend eliminating the things you like to eat - instead, add to them!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eggs, sausage and tofu are a few examples of how you can do this ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
