If you have PCOS and deal with bloating, constipation, diarrhoea (or all of the above), you’re not imagining it….and you’re not alone.

Research shows IBS is more common in people with PCOS, and there are real, physiological reasons why these conditions often overlap:
⚪️hormones,
🔴insulin resistance,
🟢inflammation,
⚫️stress, and
⚪️the gut microbiome.

The good news?

There are supportive, evidence-based ways to improve symptoms without extreme restriction.

There are many different types of teas - green, herbal, white and blends - that can be used as a gentle and natural way to support fertility.

They help support the body, keeping hormones balanced and improving the function of reproductive organs.

Key compounds found in teas include:

🧪Antioxidants - prevent cell damage which can in turn improve egg quality, s***m health and hormone balance
🧪L-Theanine - naturally present in green tea and is known for reducing stress and supporting reproductive health.
🧪Anti-inflammatory compounds: polyphenols in herbal teas may help tackle chronic inflammation, support ovulation and implantation.

RESEARCH UPDATE - MYOINOSITOL AND PCOS.

Have you tried Myo-inositol for managing your PCOS?

A recent review paper released this year, 2026, has pulled together the latest evidence of myoinositol use in PCOS.

It included 21 publications including the 2023 PCOS guidelines, network meta-analyses, and recent prospective clinical trials.

They included studies using myoinositol (MI) and compared its effectiveness and safety with metformin to find:

🟢 4g/day of MI significantly reduces fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, comparable to metformin but with superior tolerability.

🔴 70-80% patients restored regular cycles within 3-6months

There is mounting evidence to support use of inositol supplements as part of PCOS management, especially if your PCOS includes irregular cycles and/or insulin resistance.

It's important to bear in mind that there are many forms of inositol and this work focuses on myoinositol only.

As always, not every supplement is relevant or necessary for everyone with PCOS, so talk to your women's health dietitian to see which one is right for you!

It's international pizza day and although pizza is often labelled as 'junk' or 'bad' food, it is a food we celebrate in my house.

First of all no food is 'bad', and labelling foods in such a black and white way doesn't really help anyone as it implies foods have a moral value with some being better than others. Food is food. All foods nourish us in some way.....no one food is superior to another.

And secondly..pizza can be a well-balanced meal containing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It can be such a versatile meal as the toppings, sauces, and cheese can all be varied to add things like vegetables, meats, fish, pesto, tomato, cheese, even fruits if you like that sort of pizza! It can be vegetarian or even vegan, or loaded with meat and cheese!

When it comes to the benefits of pizza ....not only can it bring a multitude of nutrients including things like lycopene from the tomatoes and calcium from the cheese, but it is usually also a sharing food which brings connection and fun and joy!

So today let's not demonise any foods, especially not pizza! Let me know.... what's your favourite toppings?!

It's Fibre February!

🌾One of the trends for 2026 is fibre maxxing...have you heard of it? 🫘

Whilst I don't enjoy silly dietary fads and trends, I do believe most people can do with getting more fibre in their diet...so what is fibre maxxing?

Fibre Maxxing is all about intentionally adding fibre-rich foods to meals, e.g. instead of just white rice try brown rice or mixed grain rice or quinoa, or adding flaxseeds to porridge.

Approaching it with an "adding in" rather than restrictive mindset makes it much easier to follow and supports having a balanced diet. There's no excluding foods or food groups to replace it with fibre rich foods - just ways to add in more fibre!

Higher fibre intakes can improve digestion, help manage weight through increased satiety, regulate blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and improve the diversity of the gut microbiome.

Lots of great reasons to get more fibre in your diet but if your baseline diet is low in fibre then make sure you increase fibre gradually and drink plenty of water as you increase the amount of fibre you are eating.

Research around Ozempic and weight loss is growing - but what does it actually mean for women with PCOS?

Studies show GLP-1 medications like Ozempic may:
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Support weight loss and appetite regulation
• Help restore menstrual cycles
• And may even support fertility

Remember these medications can come with potential side effects and should be taken under medical supervision.

💜 Interested in learning more about the evidence? Head over to the latest blog where we break it down in full

💭 Ever wondered how Ozempic actually works?

Ozempic is a GLP-1 medication that works alongside your body’s natural hormones to help balance blood sugar, digestion, and appetite.

It does this by:
• Slowing digestion - helping you feel fuller for longer
• Improving insulin response - helping the body regulate blood sugar more effectively
• Regulating appetite – helping the brain recognise when you’re full

For women with PCOS, these effects may support weight management, insulin sensitivity, and may even help restore menstrual regularity and fertility.

🌿 Got a question about using Ozempic if you have PCOS? Drop it in the comments and I’ll answer it for you.
