Simplifying nutrition and diet information for the everyday person to naturally reduce PCOS symptoms

I've just published 10 awesome #ChatGPT prompts specifically crafted to generate PCOS meal plans. Check it out! pcosmadesimple.com/blog/f/10-awes… #pcos #pcosdiet


There are really only 3 major tenets of a good #PCOS diet - it doesn't have to be complicated! pcosmadesimple.com/blog/f/what-is…


New research suggests exposure to high androgen levels in the womb is a possible cause of ADHD. All the more reason to eat a PCOS diet to get those levels in check!


One of the biggest reasons we need to avoid processed foods with #PCOS - don't make your body work overtime! Whole foods are the way to go & you'll soon see a difference in the way you feel.

Lifestyle changes need to be multifaceted & simultaneous - Mental health, physical health & our relationship with food. All go hand-in-hand - we can't succeed in one without the other! #pcos #pcosawareness

Chronic metabolic diseases take many years to manifest. At that point changing deep rooted bad eating habits, food addiction & poor emotional coping skills make lifestyle change extremely difficult. I’m now convinced that most people will NOT change until they hit rock bottom 😔



"None of my doctors understand #PCOS" This is how many feel after years of patchy treatment, but the only way we can fight for more comprehensive treatment is to arm ourselves with knowledge and talk loudly about our issues & triumphs. #pcosawareness There are #doctors who care

If you love your daily sugary coffee and you get diagnosed with #PCOS, it can seem impossible to give up that daily indulgence. Did you know supplementing Gymnema Sylvestre known as the "sugar destroyer" can help curb sugar cravings? This one is my fav: amzn.to/3kNam9H

Liquid sugar is the worst. Why do we keep doing this.

"Low-carb & no sugar" is often the advice for PCOS - but choosing low-glycemic carbs will have the same benefits and keep you full & energized. What is a low-glycemic carb? See: pcosmadesimple.com/blog/f/what-is…

Effective treatments for seemingly different diseases: Type 2 diabetes: cut sugar and carbs Hypertension: cut sugar and carbs Fatty liver: cut sugar and carbs Obesity: cut sugar and carbs If the treatment is the same, does it mean they have the same root cause? Yes, exactly!



Magnesium can also reduce insulin resistance, testosterone levels, inflammation, and anxiety in women with #PCOS.

Magnesium helps constipation Magnesium helps arrhythmias Magnesium helps preeclampsia Magnesium helps sleep Magnesium helps glycemia Magnesium helps reduce kidney stones Over the past 5 decades our food has less magnesium due to poor soil quality 💊Consider mag supplementation



Getting lots of healthy fats is especially true if you have PCOS - the fad diet days of "low-fat" are long gone.

Yes! If you've got #PCOS, you NEED good fats. #InsulinResistance stops your cells from absorbing energy from the sugar, so it converts it straight to fat to use later. Go for #lowglycemic #carbs to prevent #bloodsugar spikes & #weightgain.

Don’t blame fat for what the sugar did

Love this! Women struggling with #PCOS and #infertility need lots of folate - egg & spinach omelet for #breakfast anyone? #WomensHealth #fertility #supplements

There are a lot of misleading "nutrient density" charts and food scores out there. This one from @TyRBeal has to be one of the best: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35321287/

I was diagnosed with #PCOS 20 years ago - but like many others, I was given incomplete and incorrect information. What can we do to increase effective information sharing between OGBYNs, Endocrinologists, Dieticians & PCOS patients?
