One of the least spoken-about parts of my work as a dietitian is this:
the stories.
Not just blood results, symptoms or diagnoses but the lived experiences behind them.
Every week, I sit with women navigating insulin resistance, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility challenges and chronic health conditions they never asked for. Alongside that comes the emotional load, the financial burden, the frustration of not always being heard, and the constant need to advocate for themselves.
It has made me realise, over and over again, just how much women carry quietly, bravely, and often without recognition.
I feel incredibly grateful to be trusted with these stories. And on a personal level, I relate to so much of what I hear, which makes me even more in awe of the strength I see daily.
If you feel comfortable, I’d love this space to be one of connection. You’re welcome to share your experience in the comments, or simply read along and know you’re not alone 🤍
There are so many stories we don’t see, but they matter.
