D’s story is such a reminder that real change happens when the basics come together.

When she first came to see me, she was frustrated with her PCOS weight gain. We worked on her macronutrients — more protein, veggies, and healthy fats — but progress was slow.

Then three big shifts happened:

She cut out sugar completely 🍭

Her stress came down with support from Stress Calm — a blend with ashwagandha, lemon balm, lavender, catnip, and California poppy 🌿

She started walking 30–40 minutes every day 🚶‍♀️

From May to September 2025, her weight dropped from 215 to 185 pounds — that’s 30 pounds in 20 weeks.

Consistency. Simplicity. Calm.

Sometimes, it’s not about doing more — it’s about doing the right things, consistently.

Trying to conceive with PCOS can often feel like a marathon, not a sprint. ❤️‍🩹

It can take time — and that’s okay. With the right support, balanced hormones, regular cycles, and small, consistent lifestyle changes, conception is possible.

In episode of The Natural PCOS Podcast, I’m sharing how to prepare your body for conception naturally — from diet and supplements to tracking ovulation and managing stress.
If you’re on your fertility journey, remember: your timeline doesn’t define your success. 🌸

Ever wondered why checking your thyroid antibodies matters when you have PCOS? 🧬

This new study found that women with PCOS have significantly higher levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies — even when their thyroid levels (TSH) appear normal.

That means you could have underlying autoimmune thyroid activity (like Hashimoto’s) without obvious thyroid symptoms yet — and it could still be impacting your hormones, energy, metabolism, and fertility.

💡 What this means for you:
If you have PCOS, it’s not enough to only check TSH. Ask your practitioner to test thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin) to rule out autoimmune thyroid disease.

Early detection can make all the difference in managing both PCOS and thyroid health naturally. 🌿

Are carbohydrates okay to eat when it comes to PCOS?

Yes!

Carbs aren’t the enemy ❌

In fact, research tells us that a Mediterranean diet can be really helpful for PCOS which often includes whole grains.

For PCOS, the goal is balancing blood sugar — not eliminating entire food groups. Try pairing your carbs with protein and fiber for more steady energy, less cravings, and better hormone balance.

Many women don’t realize that birth control pills can deplete key nutrients over time.

These include:
💊 B vitamins – important for energy, mood, and metabolism
🌙 Magnesium – needed for sleep, relaxation, and blood sugar balance
✨ Zinc – supports skin, immune health, and hormones

When these nutrients run low, you might notice symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or hair loss — and not know why.

If you’re on birth control (or recently stopped), it might be time to check your nutrient status and add back what your body needs to feel its best.

Question?

🎃 Can something as simple as pumpkin seed oil really help with hair loss in women?

—

💡 What research says:
A clinical trial compared pumpkin seed oil (PSO) to minoxidil 5% foam — the standard treatment for female pattern hair loss — over 3 months.

Here’s what they found 👇
✨ Women using pumpkin seed oil saw:

* Less thinning: Hair shaft diversity dropped from 30.5% → 24%
* Fewer baby hairs (vellus hairs): 22.5 → 15.8
* More regrowth: Upright growing hairs increased nearly 7x!

Both groups saw improvements, but PSO showed a significant boost in regrowth and scalp health — without the side effects often linked to minoxidil.

Researchers concluded that pumpkin seed oil has a promising role in supporting female hair growth.

—

🌱 Next steps:
If you’re struggling with hair thinning or loss, consider these steps:
1️⃣ Support hair growth naturally with zinc, iron, and pumpkin seed oil (PSO).
2️⃣ Address root causes — like hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, or inflammation.
3️⃣ Talk to your naturopathic doctor about the right dose and combination for you.

T used to struggle with restless nights. She would wake up in the middle of the night, toss and turn, and feel exhausted the next day. On top of that, her cycles were unpredictable—sometimes 40 days, sometimes 25, sometimes 34.

Fast forward to now and things look so different. She’s sleeping through the night most of the time, waking up rested and even hungry for breakfast. Her cycles have become more consistent too—27, 27, and 30 days.

What helped?
🌙 Magnesium and inositol
🍳 A hearty breakfast that fuels her morning
🥗 Balanced lunch and a lighter dinner with healthy fats
📱 Better sleep hygiene—phone away, dim lights, bed only when sleepy

She still has the occasional rough night, especially before her period, but overall she feels more balanced, more energized, and more in tune with her body.

Her story is such a great reminder that small shifts in meals, supplements, and routines can have a ripple effect on both sleep and cycles.

Unwanted facial hair? You’re not the only one.

I used to get my face waxed every 2 weeks in high school, thinking it was totally normal.
But it was a sign of PCOS — and I had no idea.

If you’re dealing with hirsutism (aka excessive hair growth), know this: there *are* ways to manage it from the inside out.

✅ Spearmint tea
✅ Balancing insulin with inositol and protein-rich meals
✅ Anti-androgen support like saw palmetto & zinc
✅ And yes — pairing it with topical treatments like laser or electrolysis helps too

It’s not just about removing the hair — it’s about restoring balance. 💛
