The thing everybody misses around GLP-1s for PCOS

15/03/2026

Trista has PCOS and over the last 24 weeks she’s lost 20kg (44lbs). But the weight loss is honestly only half the story. When you support your hormones correctly, other things start improving too:

✨ Less facial hair
✨ Hair loss slowing down
✨ More stable energy
✨ Cravings finally under control
✨ Clearer skin

The reason this happened is that she stopped doing what most women with PCOS are told to do. Before working with us, she was given this advice:

❌ Fast for 12 hours
❌ Eat tuna salad for lunch and dinner
❌ 1 hour of cardio 6 days per week
❌ Walk another 30 minutes every day
❌ Drink water instead of eating when hungry
❌ Sleep less because “no pain, no gain”

She followed that perfectly. And gained 10kg in 6 weeks. This is the reality for so many women with PCOS.. They do all the “right” things and still don’t see any results! Why? because all those “right things” were never designed for PCOS.

What we changed with Trista was simple, but powerful:

✅ Structured meals that fuel her body properly
✅ Strength training instead of endless cardio
✅ Blood sugar focused nutrition
✅ Sleep and stress actually prioritised
✅ Supplements chosen for her body
✅ Daily accountability from her coach
✅ A community of women going through the same thing

No starvation, no punishment workouts, and no more guessing & hoping.

Just structure, guidance and consistency. And this is exactly why our clients get results like this after years of feeling stuck.

Women with PCOS deserve real support, not another plan to try alone.

The 5 most important nutrients to get from your diet 🍏🌮🍳

The dance moves though, they’re a gift 🎁 💝

Please tell me you’re not eating any of these 🙈🤥

Most women with PCOS have tried the 1200-calorie diet at some point… eating less, doing more cardio, and hoping this time the weight finally moves. But with PCOS, starving your body usually just leads to more cravings, less energy, and a metabolism that slows down even further.

Do you live with any of these?

The 6 most effective supplements for reducing facial hair in PCOS..

🌿 Spearmint.. has been shown to reduce free testosterone in women with hirsutism. Lower free testosterone means less androgen stimulation of the hair follicle. PMID: 19585478

🌴 Saw Palmetto.. blocks an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT, one of the main hormones responsible for facial hair growth. PMID: 14520114

⚙️ Zinc.. helps reduce DHT formation by influencing 5-alpha-reductase activity. Zinc supplementation has also been shown to improve hirsutism scores in women with PCOS. PMID: 27134638

🌱 Myo-Inositol.. High insulin can stimulate the ovaries to produce more testosterone. Myo-inositol improves insulin signalling and can help reduce androgen production. PMID: 29498933

🐟 Omega-3.. helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. Studies in women with PCOS have also shown improvements in testosterone levels and metabolic markers. PMID: 24811824

🔬 N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC).. helps improve insulin sensitivity and oxidative stress in PCOS, both of which can support more balanced testosterone levels. PMID: 18973896

Remember, the key to life-changing results is following a holistic plan made for YOU, your PCOS, and your goals. Think nutrition, movement, stress reduction, sleep, and individualized supplementation.

I consider myself so blessed to be able to speak deeply with women with PCOS everyday who are willing to open up to me and share their struggles, fears, goals and dreams.

One thing I see so often is that they’re dealing with stress on top of stress on top of stress.

They’ve been diagnosed and handed medication, but never really had their body explained to them. They’re carrying pressure around fertility, pressure from family, pressure from the internet, pressure from comparing themselves to women who seem to lose weight easily, get pregnant easily, and feel good in their body without having to think about it.

And after a while, that pressure just becomes normal.

That’s the part I keep noticing on calls.

A lot of women with PCOS are living in a constant state of stress and don’t even realise it anymore, because it has become their baseline. Feeling tired, waking up not rested, irregular cycles, cravings, anxiety, belly weight, feeling flat, feeling puffy, feeling like something is off in your body all the time.

And no, stress is not always the only cause of PCOS symptoms but it is very often the thing quietly making everything louder.

Because your body does not care whether the stress is coming from under-eating, overtraining, poor sleep, fertility pressure, a toxic relationship, work pressure, or feeling completely lost in your own body. It still feels it.

That’s why learning how your body actually works matters so much. Because once you understand what’s driving your symptoms, you stop blaming yourself for them.

And for a lot of women, that is the first time they finally start to feel some relief. How many of these stressors are you carrying right now? 💭

Eat good, not less 🙌

PCOS belly is one of the most common symptoms women notice with PCOS. And no… it’s not just “stubborn fat”. Your body actually starts storing fat differently when certain hormones stay elevated for a long time.

With PCOS, three hormones often sit higher than they should:

🧬 Insulin
😮‍💨 Cortisol
⚡ Androgens

When these stay elevated, your body is more likely to store fat around the midsection instead of the hips, thighs, and glutes. That’s what people call “PCOS belly.”

The frustrating part is that belly fat then feeds back into the same hormonal issues. Increased belly fat can worsen:

🔥 Insulin resistance
🔥 Inflammation
🔥 Androgen levels

So the cycle reinforces itself. This is why so many women say they can lose weight everywhere else… but their stomach barely changes.

And it’s also why PCOS weight loss usually responds better to hormone-supportive habits, not just eating less. Things that help regulate the signals behind PCOS belly include:

🍳 Higher protein meals
🏋️‍♀️ Resistance training
🚶‍♀️ Daily walking
🍵 Green tea
💊 Supplements like berberine, magnesium, or L-carnitine

None of these are magic.

But together, they help shift the hormonal environment that influences where your body stores fat. And once those signals start changing, the midsection often follows.

Curious… Where does your body tend to store weight the most with PCOS?

Almost every day I speak with women who’ve been told the only way to improve their PCOS is through restriction… guilt… and constantly being told what you can’t do.

Eat less.
Exercise more.
Be stricter.
Have more discipline.

But honestly… that approach is exactly why so many women with PCOS feel exhausted, stuck, and like nothing works.

Improving PCOS usually doesn’t come from doing extreme things. It comes from small, supportive habits that help your body work with you, not against you.

Little things that make your hormones feel safer, calmer, and more stable. Things like:

☀️ Vitamin D helping with insulin, inflammation and sleep
🍵 Green tea supporting weight loss and lowering inflammation
🚶‍♀️ Daily walks stabilising blood sugar and lowering stress hormones
💪 Strength training improving insulin sensitivity and metabolism
😴 Prioritising sleep so your body can actually rest
🌿 Inositol supporting ovulation and your menstrual cycle
🥗 Fibre-rich foods helping blood sugar and fullness signals
🥩 More protein keeping blood sugar stable throughout the day
🍳 Eating breakfast giving your metabolism a stable start
💖 Rest days allowing your body to recover instead of staying stressed
🛑 Ditching diets so your body can finally come out of restriction mode

PCOS responds best to support, not punishment. And when enough of these little habits start stacking together… your body slowly starts responding in a completely different way.

Your energy improves.
Your cravings calm down.
Your weight becomes easier to manage.
Your symptoms start shifting.

In a way that actually lasts.

I’m curious… which of these has helped your PCOS the most? 💬
