Contrary to popular belief, I don’t tell my clients with PCOS what to eat or avoid. 😮

Most of them have been traumatised by the medical system or parents who shamed and micromanaged their body.

They wouldn’t need my help if that worked.

Instead, I remind my clients they are in the drivers seat, while I’m riding shotgun supporting with direction, tools and vibes. 🚘🗺️🎶

Here’s some questions that remind them of that:

💬 What’s on your mind today?

This allows clients to share the most pressing topic that they want to explore. Trust is built when they feel heard. Usually my first question in a review session.

💬 Would you like to work on breakfast, lunch or dinner first?

This narrows down the focus to reduce overwhelm while still giving clients choice. When they choose their own adventure, they’re more likely to follow through with making changes.

💬 Would be ok if I made a suggestion?

I usually prompt them to come up with their own solutions. But when they’re stuck, I asked permission to share my thoughts. This reminds them that they have control of the conversation and their treatment.

Do these questions shift the way you see nutrition counselling? 💭

Signs you have a short-term mindset ↓

🍂 You do exercises or eat food you don’t enjoy because they’re “healthy”
🍂 You track calories
🍂 You restrict calories after over eating
🍂 You buy programs and plans that promise quick results
🍂 You use shame to force yourself to exercise or eat better

Signs you have a long-term mindset ↓
🌿 You choose movement and meals that you actually enjoy
🌿 You learn to understand your body’s communication and allow it to guide your choices
🌿 You’re willing to invest time, money and energy to figure out what’s right for you
🌿 You practise self-compassion

Which one sounds more like you atm?

If you’re noticing shame come up, try practising curiosity.

Curiosity breeds awareness.

Awareness is the first step of change. ✨

Do you think about food ALL THE TIME? 🤔

This might look like:
💭 Judging your food intake as good or bad
💭 Weighing and tracking your food on MyFitnessPal
💭 Can’t sleep because you’re worrying about what you’ll eat tomorrow
💭 Spending hours researching healthy diets

This is common, but not normal.

It may be a sign you have disordered eating. 🚨

Of course, we all need to think about food. But it shouldn’t cause you stress or anxiety. Nor disrupt your sleep, work or relationships.

Disordered eating may worsen your PCOS symptoms as it can raise cortisol (stress hormone).

But what if...

💡 You didn’t need to overthink nutrition to improve your PCOS?
💡 You could feel calm and in control with food, without being controlling?
💡 Your body could guide you to make better choices so you don’t have to rely on your mind?

That’s what’s possible with intuitive eating. 🥰

It’s a gentle and compassionate way of approaching food that works WITH your body, not against it.

When you understand your body’s communication and trust it to guide you to make better choices, you’ll feel safe to let go of all the food rules in your head.

I’m Amanda Huynh, a PCOS & Non-Diet Dietitian who helps folks reclaim their power from diet culture and thrive with PCOS, without dieting.

If you’re keen to learn more about intuitive eating to thrive with PCOS, you’re in the right place. 💗
