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 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.

Unpopular opinion… but it needed to be said 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unpopular opinion… but it needed to be said 🤷🏻‍♀️ here’s why 👇

Cutting carbs isn’t the magic fix for PCOS...and for a lot of people, it can actually backfire.

I get why people think cutting carbs it the answer. When you drastically reduce carbs, you usually drop weight really quickly. The weight you lost though ➡️ mostly water weight.

When you cut carbs, your body will break down and utilize the glycogen stores in your muscles first for energy. Think of your muscles and that glycogen like a sponge that’s holding onto a lot of water. When it’s used up for energy, the water goes with it leading to quick weight loss. When you start to eat carbs again, your body wants to restore those glycogen stores and will add more water in there too. Cue the feelings of guilt and failure 😩

When you under-eat carbs, you’re also more likely to deal with:

✅ intense cravings
✅ low energy
✅ higher stress hormones (hello cortisol)
✅ feeling out of control around food
✅ constipation and/or diarrhea

This isn’t to say that carbs should be a free-for-all or that you can’t be mindful around carbs. Because carb type and amounts do ultimately matter when it comes to managing PCOS and insulin resistance long-term. But cutting them completely sets most people up for failure.

It’s more important to choose your carbs wisely and incorporate them in a balanced way, along with protein and healthy fats for optimal blood sugar control.

Insulin resistance gets mentioned all the time wit

Insulin resistance gets mentioned all the time with PCOS… but what does it actually mean? 🤔

Let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense 👇

When you eat, your body turns food into glucose (sugar) that enters your bloodstream.
Insulin helps move that sugar into your cells so you can use it for energy.

With insulin resistance, that process becomes less efficient.

Your cells don’t respond as well → your body makes more insulin → insulin levels stay higher than they should over time.

And that matters for PCOS because elevated insulin can:
• Increase testosterone
• Disrupt ovulation + cycles
• Affect hunger, cravings, and energy
• Contribute to that “up and down” blood sugar feeling

This is why you might notice things like:
👉 energy crashes
👉 strong cravings (especially for carbs)
👉 feeling hungry again soon after eating

Not because you’re doing anything wrong- but because your body is trying to compensate.

The goal isn’t to “fix” this perfectly or cut out entire foods.

It’s to support your body in a way that actually works:

✔️ build balanced meals (carbs + protein + fat)
✔️ eat consistently throughout the day
✔️ include fiber to slow digestion
✔️ consider stress + sleep

Insulin resistance is a physiological process- not a personal failure.

Understanding it is the first step toward working with your body instead of against it 🤍

PCOS Friendly Snack: Tropical Chia Pudding 🍍🥥 Even

PCOS Friendly Snack: Tropical Chia Pudding 🍍🥥 Even if you’re not a chia seed fan, you need to try this one! ✨

Comment RECIPE and I’ll send it straight to your DMs!

Even if you’re not a chia seed fan, you need to try this one!

This chia seed pudding is one of my go-to staples for a PCOS diet that actually feels satisfying and not restrictive. It’s packed with over 10g of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and plant-based protein, which can:
✅ support insulin resistance

✅ reduce inflammation

✅ stabilize blood sugar throughout the day.

When you focus on nourishing foods like this, you’re not just “snacking”—you’re actively supporting common PCOS symptoms like irregular periods, acne, cravings, and energy crashes.

And honestly? It tastes like a tropical island in a jar 🌴 I always love having a few ready in my fridge for an easy, grab-and-go PCOS snack.

If you’re working on regulating your cycle, improving insulin resistance, or just finding realistic PCOS-friendly meal ideas... this is one you’ll want to save.

Whether you need meal ideas, help with insulin resistance and cravings, or want to get pregnant, my team of registered dietitians and myself are ready to support you!
