Summer I miss you 🥲

Trying to stay calm and positive going into darker and colder days. Anyone else missing the sunshine?!

I’ve neglected my yoga a bit recently because I’ve been prioritising my weights sessions again, but unfortunately my sleep is now suffering!

Posting this to remind myself how powerful yoga has been for my stress levels over the past few months. I must make more time for it 💆🏼‍♀️💪🏼

Number 3: Increase your steps by a small amount.

I used to think exercise has to be all or nothing and if I didn't break a sweat, then it didn't count. Well I'm here to tell you, I was WRONG! Increasing your total daily expenditure by adding a few more steps in, here and there, makes the world of difference.

For anyone struggling with stress, walking also calms your nervous system and is a great way to clear your head. Give some of the tips and go and see how much better you feel!

Please like and share if this has been helpful to you!

Number 2: Eat fibrous foods before carbs.

There's a lot of noise on social media around the ketogenic diet and eating low-carb to improve PCOS symptoms. I've tried it, and it was awful for me. It might work for some people, but for me, it sent my stress into overdrive and made my symptoms worse. This tip is great because it doesn't stop you from eating what you want, it just changes when/how you eat them.

By eating fibrous foods first, it forms a gel-like layer in the stomach and small intestine that slows how quickly carbohydrates are broken down and absorbed. This means glucose enters the bloodstream more gradually and reduces big spikes and dips. Leading to steadier blood sugar levels, keeping energy more consistent and reducing that post-meal crash or brain fog.

Give this a go at your next meal and let me know how you get on!

PCOS acne update 🤓

We’re on the mend, I’m feeling better mentally and physically after focusing on home-cooked meals and reducing refined sugar.

When I had my flare up, I was enjoying a bit more flexibility in my diet which involved quite a few yummy desserts over a few too many days🧁🍰🎂.

Please don’t get me wrong, I am NOT encouraging restriction. I’m just telling you what I know about my body, and I know that when I have regular, large blood glucose spikes, it causes my acne to flare up. I should have stopped after the first piece of cake, instead of going back for seconds…and thirds LOL!

Cake, this isn’t goodbye, I’ll see you soon!

Chilla###xx 💆‍♀️

If you live in a fast-paced city, that in itself is stressful. Let alone if you’re working a high stress job, doing strength or HIIT classes most days, not sleeping well and living in a world where ultra-processed foods are the norm. Our poor bodies can’t cope!

This is your sign to carve out time to de-stress. It doesn’t have to be long, but does have to be intentional.

Drop us a DM if you need support managing stress 💗 you’re not alone out there!

✨Mini Series✨
5 Things I Wish I Knew About PCOS…No.5

Before I knew I had PCOS, I blamed myself for everything. Why couldn’t I lose weight like everyone else? Why was I always tired? Why did I feel like I was never doing enough?

I wasted years thinking I just needed more willpower, when really, my body needed a different kind of support.

PCOS is complex: hormones, inflammation, gut health, metabolism, stress. They're all connected.

If you’re struggling, it’s not your fault. You’re not imagining it. And you don’t have to do this alone. That’s why we're building OvaJoy. To help give you real answers, personalised support and root cause care.
