PCOS Explained

So, you're making these lifestyle changes and may be wondering, "When will I start to see the results?" The answer to that depends on your symptoms and the severity of their drivers. The more important question is how do I know I'm on track? Depending on what is causing these symptoms, you're likely to start feeling better internally before you see some physical results. This means sleeping better, having more energy, feeling less bloated, and losing the brain fog! We view PCOS as a continuum, and you may be somewhere along this spectrum. Therefore, to see results, we need to start making "towards" moves – steps that have a positive impact on your body and mind. In this episode, we cover:How long it can take to see improvements in different symptomsWhy it's important to be consistent and not lose motivation if you don't see immediate resultsAn approximate/estimate timeline for periods, fertility, weight, acne, hirsutism and hair lossThis episode is for you if:You've tried diets or strict plans without seeing long-term resultsYou want a better understanding of the underlying reasons for your symptomsYou're interested in signing up for Ovie and want to learn more about how it can work for your PCOSPodcast references:Lily Kate's Testimonial: More lifestyle changes doesn’t always mean better results for your PCOS — and figuring out what your ‘high impact’ PCOS changes areJaimee's Testimonial: How she lost 30kg!Daisy's Testimonial: How a food blogger successfully managers her insulin resistance PCOS and habit changes without restrictionKelly's Testimonial: Natural fertility with PCOS - YES, it's possibleTake the questionnaire & start your journey today.

Trends, you can't avoid them nowadays. They're often started via social media and can go viral within hours. This week, we are discussing current popular trends such as "Girl Plate Dinner" and "What I Eat in a Day" through a critical lens. We will uncover the positives, such as displaying creativity and forming good habits. However, we also emphasize that they can have adverse effects, setting unrealistic expectations that lead to comparison anxiety, and even promote dangerous habits.We encourage listeners to approach these trends with a balanced perspective and remind you that what you see on social media is merely a snapshot of someone's life, often cherry-picked to present an idealized version.In this episode we cover:The latest trends we've seen on social mediaThe positives and negatives of such trends and how some can be great for inspiration whilst others lead to comparison anxietyThe psychology of creating long-lasting, sustainable habits over quick fixesThis episode is for you if: You've experienced being sucked into a trend and felt guilty about your lifestyleYou want to listen to a balanced debate about the latest trends and how you can positively interpret some and what not to followWant to find out what is driving your PCOS?
