Managing PCOS should start with whatâs on your grocery listâŚ
When it comes to inflammatory, hormone dependent conditions like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) what you eat can make a significant difference.
These food all help to regulate blood sugar, support the reproductive system, and balance hormones- through deep nourishment, not restriction.
đ Complex carbs- wholemeal rice, pasta and wraps, quinoa, and sweet potato
⨠Slow release energy that doesnât spike blood sugar and supports insulin sensitivity (a key piece of PCOS management)
đ Fibre-rich veg & fruit- Carrots, broccoli, spinach, blueberries and apples.
â¨Fibre helps regulate estrogen metabolism and supports healthy digestion. Berries like blueberries are packed with antioxidants, and apples help with insulin resistance.
𼊠High-Quality Proteins - wild salmon, pasture-raised chicken, beef and eggs, and sardines in olive oil
⨠Provide amino acids, iron, omega-3s to reduce inflammation and improve egg quality.
đŤ Anti-Inflammatory herbs and spices - turmeric, ginger and cinnamon, along with herbal teas like nettle and spearmint.
⨠Help regulate androgens, calm inflammation, and support the liver in efficient hormone processing.
đĽ Healthy fats - avocado, extra virgin olive oil, walnuts, chia, flax, h**p and pumpkin seeds.
â¨Support ovulation and help regulate cycles, as well as providing the building blocks for healthy hormone production.
