PCOS is about so much more than just diet & exercise—these small lifestyle tweaks can make a BIG difference in your symptoms!
💡 1. Get Morning Sunlight ☀️
Your circadian rhythm controls your hormones! Sunlight first thing in the morning helps regulate cortisol, insulin, and melatonin, which supports better energy, metabolism, & sleep.
✅ Try stepping outside for 5-10 minutes after waking up—no sunglasses, just natural light!
💡 2. Walk After Meals 🚶♀️
A 10-15 minute walk after eating can lower blood sugar spikes by up to 30%! This helps reduce cravings, support insulin sensitivity, & prevent energy crashes.
✅ No time for a long walk? Even a few minutes of light movement (dancing, stretching, housework) helps!
💡 3. Prioritize Protein at Breakfast 🍳
Skipping breakfast or starting your day with just carbs (like cereal, toast, or fruit) = instant blood sugar rollercoaster.
✅ Instead, aim for 30g of protein (think eggs + bacon, collagen in your coffee, or a protein smoothie) to stay fuller longer & support balanced hormones.
💡 4. Calm + Sleep Support Before Bed 💤
PCOS bodies are often deficient in magnesium, which can make stress, sleep issues, & insulin resistance worse.
✅ Our Calm + Sleep supplement (with magnesium bisglycinate, tart cherry juice, passionflower, and chamomile) helps with deeper sleep, hormone balance, and reducing stress cravings.
💡 5. Balance HIIT with Strength & Recovery 🏋️♀️
HIIT can be great for insulin sensitivity, but too much without recovery can spike cortisol & leave you feeling exhausted instead of energized.
✅ Tune into how you feel: Energized after workouts? HIIT might be great for you! Drained all day? Try balancing with strength training, walking, or yoga.
✅ Strength training improves insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and hormone balance—plus, muscle is key for long-term metabolic health!
✨ These small shifts add up to BIG changes over time! You don’t need an extreme diet or exercise plan—just sustainable habits that support hormone balance.
