There are a few supplements I’m kinda obsessed with for PCOS 💜 and honestly, I recommend them to so many of the amazing women I work with.

Let me break down 3 of my faves (and what the science actually says they can do for YOU 👇):

✨ Green tea.. because just 2 cups a day can help with weight loss, improve insulin resistance and calm down inflammation. Like… who knew a cup of tea could do so much?! (PMID: 28280339)

✨ Cinnamon.. because not just for your lattes, my friend. About half a teaspoon a day has been shown to help regulate periods, balance blood sugar, and even reduce weight/waist size (PMID: 25715514). Basically, sprinkle it like you mean it. And, make sure you gran ceylon cinnamon as it’s got more of the goodness in it!

✨ Inositol.. because this one’s a total game-changer. It can lower testosterone (hello, fewer breakouts + chin hairs 👋), improve sleep, and give you more energy during the day (PMID: 23856570, PMID: 25050770). I mean… yes please, it’s the GOAT!

And here’s the thing: these work best when they’re part of your whole PCOS plan.. good nutrition, daily movement, stress support, and quality sleep. That’s when you really start to notice shifts in hormones, energy, and even cycle regularity. 🌸💪

Have you tried any of these yet? I’d genuinely love to hear how they’ve worked for you 👇

When Briana joined our PCOS coaching program, she was exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of symptoms that controlled her life.

👉 Constant fatigue that coffee couldn’t fix
👉 Debilitating cramps and irregular cycles
👉 Migraines, back pain, and even a cancer scare tied to PCOS

She was working 60–70 hours a week in vet school rotations, yet still found the strength to say “enough is enough.”

And the results? Nothing short of incredible.

💪 12.8 lbs / 5.8 kg gone
💪 Energy restored.. no caffeine needed
💪 Migraines and back pain disappeared
💪 Cycles more regular, cramps manageable without meds
💪 Blood glucose, cholesterol & A1C finally in check

Her words say it best:

“For years I had been dealing with miserable, irregular cycles… I would pass out from the pain… felt constantly fatigued… My PCOS even caused a cancer scare at one point.”

Once I stuck to my nutrition goals, the fat was melting off my body. I had more energy, didn’t need caffeine anymore, and my back pain and migraines were gone. My cramps don’t last as long during my period, and I don’t need to take pain meds anymore.

My blood glucose, cholesterol, and A1C are in check for the first time in forever. It was like night and day for me… I never could have come this far without NOVUM, Drew, and my coach Sarah.”

This is what happens when you stop fighting your body and start working with it. Because the right plan doesn’t just change your weight.. it gives you your life back.

Whenever you’re ready, we would love to work with you too x

You’ve probably seen those crazy PCOS morning routines that look like a full-time job… cold showers, 18 blueberries, red light therapy, barefoot walking… the list never ends.

Here’s the truth though.. You don’t need 15 steps to manage your PCOS!!

If you’re busy, normal, and don’t have time for all that crap, focus on the basics:

✅ Wake up at the same time each day (this helps regulate cortisol + circadian rhythm)
✅ Have ~25g of protein at breakfast (sets up your blood sugar + hormones for the day)
✅ Enjoy a cup of green tea (great for insulin + inflammation)

That’s it. Simple. Consistent. Effective. You don’t need a “perfect” routine, you just need one you can actually stick to. 💙

When you’ve got PCOS, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what actually helps, leave a 😵‍💫 in the comments if you've felt like this before.

That’s why I like to keep it simple… think of these as your little “secret weapons.” 💪 Each one targets something different.. from blood sugar to testosterone to sleep. And together, they help you build a body that feels good to live in ❤️‍🔥

Here are some of my fave underrated go-to’s:

🥄 Cinnamon for insulin
🍵 Green tea for fat loss
🔥 Berberine for PCOS belly
🌰 Flaxseeds for testosterone
☀️ Vitamin D for energy
🌿 Spearmint tea for facial hair
💊 Inositol for periods
🔹 Blueberries for blood sugar
🍫 Dark choc for cravings
😴 Magnesium for sleep
🚶‍♀️ 7,000 steps for mental health

None of these are magic fixes on their own, but when you start adding them in consistently, that’s when you see real changes. ✨

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, try picking ONE from this list to focus on this week. Small wins add up, and you’ll be surprised how much better you start to feel. 💛

Okay, let me tell you something really important about PCOS that most people don’t realise… For most women with PCOS, the main thing driving the symptoms isn’t your ovaries at all, it’s actually insulin resistance.

And that explains so much, right? The hair thinning, the chin hairs, the stubborn belly fat, the irregular cycles, the brain fog, the skin changes, even the trouble conceiving, insulin resistance is usually the reason.

The tricky part is, it doesn’t always show up clearly on blood tests. You can have “normal” results and still be dealing with it, or your doctor doesn't even test for it at all!

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, it’s setting off a domino effect:
👉 Insulin resistance pushes your insulin higher
👉 That drives up testosterone
👉 High testosterone messes with ovulation + periods
👉 Then estrogen and progesterone get thrown out of balance too

Sound familiar?

Here’s the good news: insulin resistance can actually be reversed. And when you work on that, your symptoms can massively improve.

What I usually get my clients to focus on are simple but powerful things, like:
✅ More protein + balanced carbs (stick to whole, complex carbs)
✅ Walking every day and adding in strength or Pilates
✅ Prioritising sleep (seriously underrated)
✅ Inositol, vitamin D, berberine, and even a couple of cups of green tea

And you don’t need to change everything overnight. Just start with one or two habits and build from there. Even small changes can shift your hormones in the right direction.

You’ve got this, and I promise, your body can feel better. 💪

Annika has absolutely crushed it in our last 8-Week PCOS Weight Loss Challenge, and I’ve gotta share this with you.
In just 8 weeks she’s down 18.7lbs (8.5kg) 🤯 … but it’s not just the weight.

👉 Her skin is clearing up
👉 She’s losing less hair
👉 Facial hair growth has slowed down

Here’s what Annika said to me:
“When I started NOVUM, I wasn’t in a great place. I had no energy, wasn’t cooking, and barely moved. I told myself this would be the last thing I’d try before giving up. Eight weeks later, I feel like a different person. I’ve built routines around food, movement, and sleep, and now I’ve got more energy.

The biggest confidence boost? Fitting into clothes I hadn’t worn in years. My symptoms haven’t disappeared, but they’re improving, less hair loss, fewer breakouts, and less facial hair. And that gives me hope.”

Now here’s the thing I want you to hear… Annika isn’t “special” or “lucky.” She’s just like you. She came in exhausted, frustrated, and honestly about ready to give up. But she trusted the process, took it one step at a time, and now she’s seeing real change — not just on the scale, but in her symptoms too.

And if Annika can do this… you can too 💜

So if you’re reading this and thinking, “I want results like that too,” here’s how I can help 👇

💜 You can jump into coaching with us anytime, we will guide you step by step.
💜 Our next 8-Week PCOS Challenge kicks off in just 3 weeks (perfect if you want structure and accountability).

💜 Or, if you just want to start small, I’ve got 9 different PCOS recipe eBooks you can grab and begin using right away.

No matter where you’re at, there’s a starting point for you. You don’t have to do this alone 💪✨

I know how frustrating PCOS can feel, especially when it seems like no matter what you do, nothing changes. But here’s the thing… it doesn’t have to be complicated.

One of the women I’ve been coaching made a few small tweaks, nothing extreme, and in just 10 weeks:

✅ She’s down 12kg (26lbs) after years of struggling
✅ Her energy is way up
✅ That stubborn PCOS belly is almost gone
✅ And even her facial hair has slowed right down

So what changed? Honestly, just some simple, consistent habits:

🥚 She started the day with a high-protein breakfast (comment “breakfast” if you want my top 5 ideas)
🚶‍♀️ Went for a 30-min walk each afternoon
🏋️‍♀️ Added strength training 2-3x a week
💊 Took the right supplements.. Berberine + L-Carnitine (both super helpful for PCOS weight + belly fat)

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be consistent.

If you’re on your own PCOS journey, save this, these little changes add up 💖

There are a few supplements that I absolutely love for PCOS, and that I recommend to so many of the amazing women I work with. 💜

Here are 3 that can be incredibly helpful, and what the research shows they can do for you:

✨ L-carnitine (1000mg for 12 weeks) has been shown to improve insulin resistance, fasting insulin, and even help reduce BMI and waist circumference in women with PCOS (PMID: 33890896).

✨ Berberine is one of my go-to’s as studies and meta-analyses show it improves fasting insulin, insulin resistance, lowers testosterone, increases SHBG, and supports more regular cycles (PMID: 31915452, PMID: 33794771).

✨ Resveratrol is one I’m really excited about. In one clinical trial, women with PCOS who took resveratrol improved their insulin sensitivity by 66% and lowered testosterone by 23% (PMID: 27459519). Other studies suggest it also supports ovarian function and reduces oxidative stress (PMID: 37333786).

What I love most is how powerful these supplements can be when they’re added to a holistic PCOS plan, alongside things like nourishing nutrition, daily movement and walking, stress support, and quality sleep. That’s when you really see them make a difference in insulin resistance, hormones, and even cycle regularity. 💪🌸

Have you tried any of these yet? I’d love to know how they worked for you. 👇
