These were 3 things quietly holding me back on my PCOS healing journey — and I know I’m not the only one.
Because if you’re anything like me… you’ve probably fallen into at least one of these 👇
✨ 1. Being afraid of eating a higher-carb diet
For years I chased “low-carb = fat loss” because that’s what everyone told us to do. But with PCOS, constantly under-fueling and fearing carbs kept my body in survival mode — cravings, fatigue, stubborn weight, cycles all over the place. When I finally started eating the right carbs (root veggies, fruit, rice, oats)… my energy improved, my mood stabilized, and my metabolism stopped fighting me.
You don’t need to starve to heal — your body is not the enemy 🤍
😴 2. Neglecting my sleep
I used to push through exhaustion and tell myself “I’ll rest later.” But poor sleep = higher cortisol, worse insulin resistance, more inflammation, and more symptoms. I noticed everything felt harder — cravings, mood swings, anxiety, bloating — all worse when I wasn’t sleeping. Now I treat sleep like medicine: earlier nights, less scrolling, deeper recovery. It changed everything.
🫶 3. Accepting that “everything is fine” when it really wasn’t
I minimized my symptoms for years… the fatigue, the pain, the weight changes, the anxiety, the digestive issues. I told myself “this is just how my body is.” No — it wasn’t fine. I was just used to struggling. Healing began when I stopped ignoring the signs and started advocating for myself. You deserve to feel healthy, feminine, calm, and at peace in your body — not just “functional.”

If any of this hits home… you’re not alone. I see you. I’ve lived this. And you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through PCOS anymore 🤍
