Stop treating cereal like they’re all the same. 👀 As a dietitian, if I’m choosing between Special K Original and Just Right, I’m usually picking Special K Original — and it’s not because it’s “diet food.”

It’s because it stacks up better for hormone-friendly, everyday nutrition:
✅ Higher protein → helps you feel full longer ✅ Higher fibre → supports gut health + steadier energy ✅ Lower sugar → fewer blood sugar spikes (aka less snacky-crashy) ✅ Higher iron → a big one if you’re low, fatigued, or have heavy periods

My rule of thumb: Cereal = base. Protein + fibre + lower sugar makes it easier to build a balanced bowl.
Try it like this for an even better breakfast: Add Greek yogurt or milk + chia/flax + berries (or nuts) ✅

Want me to do a “best supermarket cereals” list next? Comment CEREAL and I’ll make one.

Does it feel like your body is constantly fighting against you? 😩

You’re doing "all the right things," but the scale won’t budge. You slept 8 hours but still woke up exhausted. The sugar cravings hit so hard they feel impossible to ignore, and the brain fog makes it hard to focus on anything.

It’s exhausting, it’s frustrating, and honestly? It can feel really lonely.

But here is the truth I need you to hear: You are not broken. And your body isn’t trying to punish you.

These symptoms—the acne, the fatigue, the cravings—are actually your body’s way of waving a red flag. It’s trying to communicate that it’s missing something essential.

Instead of trying to suppress the symptoms, we need to listen to what they are asking for. As shown in the graphic, small, targeted shifts can calm the PCOS storm:
🌿 Facial Hair? It’s often driven by high androgens. Spearmint tea can help lower free testosterone.
💤 Can’t Sleep? Cortisol might be high at night. Magnesium Glycinate can help wind you down.
🍭 Intense Cravings? It’s usually a blood sugar crash. Prioritizing protein at breakfast helps stabilize you all day.
🧠 Stress? Deep, restorative sleep is non-negotiable for hormone repair. We don’t want to do high intensity workout at night, that will raise cortisol and make you sleep harder.

If you've been told to not eat chocolate or ice cream by a dietitian ... This is the recipe for you this summer!

😋Simply combine:
- Greek yoghurt (thick and dry texture is easier to freeze)
- Fruit of your choice chopped up (peach, berries, cherry, etc)
Freeze for 1 hour and drizzle with melted chocolate with coconut oil. Chill and enjoy!

You get protein, fibre, fats to enjoy sweetness from chocolate 🍫. PCOS and insulin friendly, better than any ice cream you can find out there.

This frozen yogurt bite is my go to icy snack now for hot weather. And it is super easy and fast to make!

I'm adding more recipes to my PCOS snack collection.

✨High Androgens in PCOS — What Your Symptoms Are Telling You❓

🔥 Acne, chin hair, hair loss, or oily skin aren’t just “skin issues.”

They’re hormone messages — often linked to high testosterone or DHEA-S in PCOS.

PCOS women can have elevated androgens from insulin resistance, stress, or inflammation — and identifying the cause is the first step to real balance.

They say if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself—but I never knew ”doing it myself“ would look like this. 🥹👜

From clinical dietitian to founder wearing over 10 different hats: I’ve spent the last 18 months researching, formulating, and sourcing every single ingredient for Inositol Plus.

Why? Because I’ve been where you are. I’ve lived through the irregular cycles, the hormonal acne, and the ”just lose weight“ advice that never works. I wanted to create the science-backed tool I wish I had years ago.

On the same day last year, we received our first batch product and launched our online shop in May 2025. We pack every order ourselves and take care of your messages and feedback.

To every woman who has trusted with her hormone journey this year: thank you. You aren’t just a customer; you’re the reason I keep going. 🙏Thanks for your genuine reviews and continuous support for this growing little brand!

Here’s to supporting your hormones even better in 2026. 🥂✨

🛑 Don’t start your 2026 goals in January. Start them with these 3 anchors - my top 3 non food related tips for wellness.

Let’s be real—the ”all or nothing“ mentality is the reason most New Year’s resolutions fail by February. We treat December like a free-for-all, wreck our metabolic health, and then try to punish ourselves into shape in the New Year.

As a Dietitian, I tell my clients: Eat the pavlova, have the wine, enjoy the party. But anchor your days with these 3 non-negotiables to support your body while you do it.

1️⃣ The ”2-Cup“ Rule (Hydration)
Before your morning coffee or your evening wine, you must drink 2 glasses of water. Alcohol suppresses antidiuretic hormone (making you dehydrated) and coffee is a diuretic. This rule ensures your cells are hydrated and helps with satiety before you start snacking.

2️⃣ The ”Post-Pasta“ Walk (Movement)
A 10-minute walk immediately after a heavy meal is more powerful than a 1 hour workout the next day. By moving your muscles, you encourage them to soak up glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream without needing as much insulin. This blunts the fat-storage signal.

3️⃣ Sleep is your Appetite Regulator
Ever notice you crave carbs when you‘re tired? That’s Ghrelin (your hunger hormone) spiking and Leptin (your fullness hormone) dropping. If you want to control cravings at the party, prioritize 8+ hours of sleep the night before.

📌 Save this post as your daily checklist for the next 2 weeks!

"Why am I gaining weight only in my stomach?"

This is one of the most common questions I get in the clinic. When weight gain is centralised around the abdomen, it is rarely just about "too many carbs." It is usually a hormonal signature. ✍️

Swipe through to see the triad I look for:
🔥 Cortisol: The "Survival" signal.
🔥 Insulin: The "Storage" signal.
🔥 DHEA-S: The "Adrenal" signal.

If you have high DHEA-S (Slide 5), doing HIIT workouts and fasting might actually be making your symptoms worse. 🤯
2026 Goal: Stop punishing your body with cardio and start supporting your hormones with specific nutrition.

If you are eating in a deficit and training hard but the weight isn't moving (especially around the midsection), it might not be your willpower. It might be your biochemistry. 🧬

As a Dietitian, I see women blaming themselves for "failing," when in reality, these 3 hormones are sending their bodies into storage mode:

1️⃣ Insulin (The Storage Hormone) If your insulin is chronically high (insulin resistance), your body is essentially stuck in "storage mode." You cannot burn fat when insulin is high. No matter how little you eat, your body fights to hold onto energy.

2️⃣ Cortisol (The Stress Hormone) Chronic stress isn't just "feeling busy." It raises blood glucose and mobilizes fat from your limbs to store it viscerally (deep belly fat) to protect your organs during a perceived "famine" or threat.

3️⃣ DHEA-S (The Adrenal Androgen) This is the one most people miss! DHEA-S is an androgen produced by your adrenal glands. High levels often indicate that your body is producing stress hormones on overdrive. This can mimic PCOS symptoms and lead to stubborn weight gain, even if your ovarian hormones look "normal."

The fix isn't another crash diet. It’s metabolic restoration. 
We need to signal safety to your body, not starvation.
👇 Which of these 3 do you suspect is your trouble maker? Let me know in the comments!
