Eating more is almost always the answer 🍞🧀 This i Eating more is almost always the answer 🍞🧀

This is the number one surprise when I talk to people about the foods they’re eating and their PCOS symptoms — that they should be eating more. That they probably don’t need to keep avoiding gluten or dairy or carbs or sugar or soy or caffeine or bananas or potatoes or whatever other food they’ve been told to avoid. 

I saw a post on another platform by a very popular PCOS account that recommends gluten free and dairy free for anyone with PCOS. She cited some studies as she tried to make her points for GF/DF. I don’t typically have time to fact-check other peoples’ posts but curiosity got the best of me. 

🧪 Two of the four studies she cited were from 1983 and 2004 — one of which only had 12 participants in the study. Another one wasn’t done on real humans. NONE OF THEM were done on women with PCOS. And none of them honestly really made her point either...they were all really big stretches to fit her narrative. 

 👉 Was I surprised? Idk - maybe I was surprised at the confidence of actually listing those studies. I’m totally fine with anecdotal experiences but presenting them as research-backed facts gives me a little bit of the ick. 

👉 But I wasn’t surprised that the studies didn’t back up GF/DF for PCOS — because there is no research that supports that across the board. 

Nutrition is a nuanced topic but I can say with confidence that there is not one single food or food group that I have ever seen all of my PCOS clients need to eliminate. For most people, there’s no food groups needing to be eliminated. It’s more about learning to pair things together properly and what works for *your* body.

Did you know the PCOS can impact liver health? If Did you know the PCOS can impact liver health?

If you’ve heard of fatty liver (NAFLD) and wondered how it connects, it often comes back to insulin resistance and blood sugar patterns. When those feel out of balance, the liver can start storing more fat over time.

The good news: fatty liver can be reversed!

The same habits that help manage PCOS can also support your liver:
✨ Building balanced meals 

✨ Eating consistently throughout the day

✨ Adding in fiber-rich foods + healthy fats

Fiber is queen 👑 and this chia jam can help you ge Fiber is queen 👑 and this chia jam can help you get more of it!

The wellness world has gone crazy over protein over the past several years — and don’t get me wrong, protein is great. But I find people prioritize protein at the expense of fiber.

Fiber is well-researched to have INCREDIBLE health benefits. Seriously, if I just read off the benefits of fiber for PCOS, insulin resistance, inflammation, or overall health, you’d be like OMG I NEED THIS. Yet, we’re still not getting enough fiber in our diets routinely. 

This chia jam is a great way to add a boost of fiber to your meals or snacks — and it actually tastes good!

To make it:
2 cup fresh or frozen berries
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
optional: 1-2 tbsp sweetener like agave, maple syrup or honey

Heat berries in saucepan over medium heat ~5 minutes. Mash them with a fork or masher to get the desired size of berry chunks for your jam. When the berries start to break down and get bubbly, add chia + lemon. Taste + add sweetener as needed. Jam will thicken considerably. Makes ~1 cup. 

Add it to yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, or on top of pancakes, waffles, or whole grain toast.

For PCOS and insulin resistance, getting enough fiber (usually 25-30 grams of fiber/day minimum) can help:
✔️ stabilize blood sugar levels
✔️ improve energy levels
✔️ curb cravings for carbs and sugar
✔️ keep you feeling full for significantly longer
✔️ optimize gut health — ever heard of prebiotics? They’re fiber!
✔️ improve digestion

Fiber can also indirectly lower inflammation and androgen levels, such as testosterone levels.

Baby girl #3 coming in October 🩷🩷🩷 As someone who Baby girl #3 coming in October 🩷🩷🩷

As someone who has PCOS and struggled with infertility, I understand how incredibly difficult seeing announcements like these are. If you’re in a season of waiting, I see you, and I’m sending you so much love 🤍

This was an unplanned pregnancy but honestly, I can’t say it was completely unexpected. 

I’ve spent the past several years optimizing my own health and PCOS symptoms. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunities to test out fertility devices like Mira and Inito. 

I’ve regulated my cycles and I know exactly when I ovulate. So I knew as soon as it happened that the chances of a pregnancy were extremely high.

I’ll be continuing my inositol throughout this pregnancy, like my last pregnancy. Research shows that it can reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, which I’m at a higher risk of developing thanks to my PCOS. 

I’ve finally turned a corner and feel like I can stomach real food so I’ll be back to sharing recipes and content.

I’ve also been so up and down with my emotions so I’ll take any words of encouragement on going from 2 to 3...because to be completely honest, I’m terrified 😅

Also happy to answer any questions below in the comments or DMs 🤍🤍

Surprise! 🤰🩵🩷 Getting diagnosed with PCOS felt ov Surprise! 🤰🩵🩷

Getting diagnosed with PCOS felt overwhelming. But what shocked me more was realizing how little I had ever been taught about my own cycle.

Learning my period wasn’t just a monthly inconvenience…but instead: it’s feedback, data, and a window into my hormones.

Once I started actually tracking what was happening each month, everything changed.

That’s why I’ve been using the @initofertility Fertility Monitor for years. And their new InSight Wireless Reader makes it even easier.

✔️ No phone camera needed
✔️ Tracks Estrogen, LH, PdG + FSH
✔️ Predicts your 6 day fertile window, increasing your chances of getting pregnant
✔️ Confirms ovulation (which is huge for PCOS!) 
✔️ Available on iOS & Android

For the first time, I could actually see my hormones… and understand what my body was trying to tell me.

And that knowledge is what made this pregnancy possible 🤍

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or disconnected from your cycle, this is your sign to start learning your body instead of fighting it.
