Low-carb isn’t wrong for PCOS.
But it’s also not a universal fix.

Yes, if insulin resistance is a major driver, reducing carbs strategically can be helpful.
But PCOS isn’t one condition.

And when low-carb is used without:
• confirming insulin resistance
• supporting thyroid + adrenals
• considering cycle phase
• improving insulin sensitivity (not just restriction)

…it can backfire.
That’s not healing, that’s survival mode.

PCOS needs strategy, not extremes.

Clinically, I don’t just “cut carbs.”
I focus on:
✔ Improving cellular responses to insulin
✔ Balancing blood sugar with the right carbohydrates
✔ Supporting thyroid, adrenals & ovulation
✔ Matching nutrition to your PCOS driver

If low-carb hasn’t worked the way you were promised, the next step isn’t restriction, it’s figuring out what else is out of balance.

PCOS can feel confusing…because it is confusing.
It’s not one condition, and it’s definitely not one solution.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I doing all the things and nothing is changing?”
this is probably why.

Better yet, if you haven’t yet tried anything - this is your next step.

Less guessing. More clarity 💛

If PCOS belly fat feels impossible to shift… swipe across 🤍

PCOS belly fat is responding to hormonal signals - insulin, androgens, cortisol and sometimes oestrogen too.

When these hormones are driving the show, eating less and exercising too much only pushes your body further into stress mode.

And a stressed body doesn’t like to let go of fat easily. Especially for us women.

This is why I don’t use low-calorie plans. Instead, I focus on:
- building metabolic flexibility
- working WITH your hormones and cycle
- Calming and regulating stress hormones
- Supporting ovulation, progesterone production and lowering androgens ALONGSIDE metabolic support.

No more restriction.
No extremes.
Just a personalised strategy and support every step of the way so we can adjust as the body responds.

If your body has been asking for something different, this might be it ✨

Doing everything for your PCOS… and nothing’s changing?

Here’s the plot twist 👀
Your thyroid might be the missing piece.

Women with PCOS have a much higher risk of thyroid issues yet most never get properly tested.
No strategy = no progress.

It’s not your fault.
It’s incomplete testing.

A PCOS diagnosis can quietly plant fear long before you’re ready to think about conceiving.

But PCOS is not infertility.
It’s information.

And when we understand what’s actually driving your PCOS, the fear doesn’t have to follow you, now or later.

And this is exactly why I created my PCOS Testing Checklist so that you can find your root cause.

Because understanding what’s actually driving your PCOS changes everything, for your health and fertility now and the years that follow.

💚 If you want babies soon or years from now, learning your body early matters.

Here’s the truth: your metabolism was never supposed to work like his.

Women aren’t built to follow the same calorie cuts, the same training styles, or the same fat-loss rules because our biology plays by different rules entirely.

And when you stop fighting that biology?
That’s when things finally start to shift.
Your energy.
Your cravings.
Your cycles.
Your results.

Your monthly hormone changes aren’t a setback,
they’re a built-in advantage when you know how to use them.

So if you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or like “nothing ever works”…
maybe it’s because you’ve been following advice that was never designed for a female body, let alone one with PCOS.

Ready to try an approach actually made for women, not men?

Comment or DM “READY” and I’ll walk you through your next steps 🤍

Your nervous system isn’t just about stress. It’s intricately connected to your metabolic function, reproductive hormones, thyroid, gut health, immune, sleep quality and so much more.

ALL of these factors can impact your fertility.

Understanding this connection gives you another powerful level to support your fertility and balance within.

It’s not just about ‘stressing less’ it’s about how you show up daily to manage your stress and how you prioritise your nervous system through daily practices.

Save this post for practical ways to support your nervous system or share with a friend who needs this 💙

And remember, this is about empowerment and understanding, not perfection. Every small shift towards nervousness system balance supports your fertility and overall health. ✨

Your bloods are “normal”… but your symptoms aren’t.

If you’ve been told everything looks fine yet you’re still dealing with acne, stubborn weight, fatigue, irregular periods or fertility worries… it’s not you.
It’s the red flags your doctor didn’t check… or didn’t interpret properly.

5 foods secretly sabotaging your thyroid…

Remember, many of these are still HEALTHY.
It’s when they are in excess, such as green juices with kale… that they start to cause issues. It’s about understanding what feels good in your body.

Here’s 6 more to add into your diet for a healthy thyroid 💙
• Olive oil (healthy fats, antioxidants and polyphenols for hormone production and gut health)
• Fatty fish (Omega-3s to reduce inflammation & support hormone signalling)
• Seaweed (natural source of iodine, a building block for thyroid hormones)
• Bone broth (glycine supports gut health + more)
• Berries (organic - antioxidant rich)
• Pumpkin seeds & Brazil nuts (depending on where these are sourced, should contain zinc and selenium for thyroid hormone conversion)

Your thyroid needs nourishment, not deprivation ✨

Hormone balance isn’t about perfection. It’s about CONSISTENCY.

It’s about small, sustainable habits that compound over time.

It’s about supporting your body, not fighting it.

These habits didn’t “cure” my PCOS overnight. But after 3-6 months of consistency? My cycles became more regular. My energy stabilised. My skin cleared. My anxiety decreased. My PMS is gone.

Your daily habits are either supporting your hormones or sabotaging them.

Tell me, what’s one habit you could start that would support your hormones today? Drop it below 👇

For years, I thought healing meant doing more…
More workouts.
More supplements.
More dieting.
More pushing through symptoms.

But the truth?
Healing my PCOS happened when I stopped overdoing and started following a plan that was actually right for my body.

And here’s the thing, some of these things aren’t “bad.”
HIIT, for example, can be incredible when used intentionally.
I still include it in certain phases of my cycle.
But doing it 4–5x a week?
That sent my cortisol, ovulation, and hormones into chaos.

My body is sensitive to stress, so I learned what my version of balance looks like: running, pilates, yoga, and strength training.
Yours may look completely different and that’s the point.

Your PCOS healing gets easier when you stop forcing what doesn’t work for you and start supporting what does. 💛

If you think your ovaries are failing you, they’re not. 💙

They’re just missing the nutrients they need to do their job.

I know how heartbreaking it feels when your body won’t cooperate. When your cycles are all over the place. When you’re worried about whether you’ll be able to conceive.

But here’s the truth: Your ovaries WANT to ovulate. They’re designed to. They’re just starving for the raw materials they need to make it happen.

Once you give your body what it actually needs - through targeted nutrition, supplementation based on YOUR deficiencies, and addressing root causes, your ovaries can start working WITH you again.

I see this transformation in my clinic constantly. Women who haven’t ovulated in years, or who couldn’t ’fix’ their hormones and who thought their only option was IVF.

And then we run comprehensive labs, identify THEIR specific deficiencies, create a personalised protocol... and their bodies respond. Cycles regulate. Ovulation returns. Conception becomes possible.

Your ovaries aren’t broken. They’re just undernourished.
And that? That’s completely fixable.

If you’ve been told your only option is IVF, or that your ovaries “just don’t work,” please know there’s so much we can investigate and address naturally first.

You deserve answers. You deserve someone who looks deeper than “your labs are normal.” 🤍
