Here are 5 of the most impactful tips for managing PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome):
1. Balance Blood Sugar
• Focus on low–glycemic load meals (protein + fiber + healthy fats with each meal).
• Avoid refined sugar and highly processed carbs, since insulin resistance drives many PCOS symptoms.
2. Support Hormone Balance with Nutrition
• Key nutrients: inositol (myo- & D-chiro), magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc.
• These improve insulin sensitivity, ovulation, and reduce inflammation.
3. Prioritize Gut & Liver Health
• Include prebiotic fiber, probiotics, and foods like cruciferous vegetables for estrogen metabolism.
• Support liver detox with leafy greens, lemon water, and bone broth.
4. Regulate Stress & Sleep
• High cortisol worsens insulin resistance and androgens.
• Daily stress-reducing habits (yoga, breathing, journaling) + 7–8h sleep are essential.
5. Exercise Smart
• Combine strength training with gentle cardio or walks.
• Avoid chronic over-exercising, which can worsen cortisol and cycle irregularities.
👉 These steps help with the core PCOS issues: insulin resistance, inflammation, and androgen excess.
