Someone should have told me this on day one and saved me years of confusion. 😤

When I was first diagnosed, I thought HS was random. Bad luck. Something I'd just have to "deal with forever."

Nobody explained that my blood sugar spikes weren't separate from my flares; they were connected.

That my PCOS and HS were both symptoms of the same root problem: insulin resistance.

Here are 7 things I wish someone had told me about insulin resistance and HS from day one:

1. Blood sugar spikes trigger inflammatory responses that can lead to flares 24-48 hours later
2. Insulin resistance and PCOS are closely linked to HS, it's not three separate conditions
3. What you eat directly impacts your inflammation levels and flare frequency
4. Skipping meals or eating carbs alone makes everything worse
5. Your sugar cravings aren't a willpower issue; they're a symptom of metabolic dysfunction
6. Stable blood sugar is the foundation of managing HS through nutrition
7. Insulin resistance is reversible with the right approach, and remission is actually possible

If just one person had explained this to me, I could have started addressing the actual cause instead of chasing symptoms for years. 💜

Insulin resistance isn't a life sentence; it's manageable, reversible, and addressing it can lead to remission. I'm living proof. ✨

You don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't have to waste years as I did.

What if the things you're beating yourself up for are actually your body begging for help? 💜

You're not lazy, you're metabolically dysregulated. You're not weak, you're fighting chronic inflammation. You're not failing; your blood sugar is all over the place.

For years, I thought my afternoon exhaustion was a character flaw, that my inability to stick to exercise meant I lacked discipline, that my intense sugar cravings proved I had no willpower. 😤

Then I learned about insulin resistance, and everything clicked.

When your metabolism isn't functioning properly, your body sends signals that look like personal failures, but they're not; they're cries for help.

The "random" flares are always tied to blood sugar spikes 24-48 hours before. The brain fog is glucose instability affecting cognitive function. The mood swings are cortisol and adrenaline responses to crashes. 👀

You are not broken; your body just needs the right support. ✨

What signal does your body give you right before a flare (energy, cravings, mood, skin changes)?

No SINGLE “superfood” put my HS into remission 👇

What helped me was consistency, and these were staples I kept coming back to because they were simple and repeatable (not perfect):

protein + healthy fats + fibre, with foods that felt nourishing instead of restrictive ❌

If you’re overwhelmed, start with just one change you can actually maintain this week, and if you still feel lost,

Remission once felt impossible to me.

HS controlled my life for years, physically, emotionally, and socially. And if you’re living with it, you know how isolating it can feel.

But I want you to know something I wish someone had told me earlier…

Remission is possible.

Not from one magic pill or one perfect diet, but from the right combination of support, medical care, lifestyle changes, and nutrition that lowers inflammation in your body.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but it can happen.

And you deserve a life that isn’t controlled by flares 💜

I’m 40 now, and after living with HS since I was 13, one thing I’ve learned is that the habits you build in your 20s really do compound over time, especially when it comes to inflammation 🥲

Here are 8 habits I wish I had focused on earlier:

1. Prioritize protein and whole foods at every meal
2. Keep blood sugar stable by pairing carbs with protein and fat
3. Eat anti-inflammatory foods regularly like fatty fish, berries, and leafy greens
4. Support gut health with fermented foods and fiber
5. Get consistent, quality sleep
6. Manage stress before it becomes chronic
7. Move your body daily, even if it’s just walking
8. Pay attention to trigger foods that worsen your inflammation

None of these are extreme, but consistently supporting your body can make a huge difference over time, especially if you’re living with HS 🫶

💔 HS teaches you real fast that love isn’t just chemistry…

it’s care in the hard moments.

Because on flare days it’s not “just a skin thing”: it’s pain, exhaustion, and your nervous system running on empty. And the person beside you can either make that heavier… or make it softer.

The right partner doesn’t question your reality, make you feel “dramatic,” or treat your body like an inconvenience.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink your symptoms to feel lovable, this is your reminder: you deserve a safe, steady kind of love.

My goal has always been to help other women through their journey,

Okay but I’ve wanted red hair forever (Anne of Green Gables influence lol) and just always thought my complexion said “no.”

Tried a cowboy copper a couple years ago… but THIS is the moment. ❤️

Also—been super intentional about switching to cleaner products after dealing with scalp irritation, and I’m so happy this one actually looks good and feels good.
No reaction, just vibes. Copper Cola 🧡

And honestly… I think I’m a redhead now??

"Why would someone with a normal body weight take a GLP-1 if they have HS?" is a question I've actually gotten a few times👀

Yes, I did lose weight on it. But that's not the only reason people with HS are exploring GLP-1 medications.

There's emerging research specifically on GLP-1s and HS, looking at how these medications may reduce systemic inflammation beyond just weight loss.

HS is driven in part by dysregulated metabolic and inflammatory signalling, and for some people, targeting blood sugar regulation and those metabolic pathways can lower the inflammatory load that triggers flares.

So sometimes the goal isn't the number on the scale. It's addressing the systems that influence whether your body is in a constant inflammatory state.

You don't know someone's labs, their hormone panel, their flare history, or what their doctor recommended. Chronic illness management is rarely one-dimensional.

After 8+ years in HS remission, here's my honest take on Ozempic, and why it might change how we think about this condition.

Important context first: I was already in remission before starting a GLP-1. This isn't an "Ozempic helped my HS" story.

But here's what's interesting, research is now looking at GLP-1 medications specifically in HS patients, and the mechanism goes beyond weight loss.

Studies have explored how GLP-1 receptor agonists may reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and address the insulin resistance that's commonly seen alongside HS, which matters because HS isn't just a skin condition. It's a systemic inflammatory disease.

For a long time, it was treated like a dermatology-only problem. But 8+ years of remission taught me that the whole body picture, hormones, blood sugar, and inflammation, is what actually moves the needle.

GLP-1s aren't a cure. But the fact that they're entering the HS conversation at all signals how our understanding of this condition is evolving.

One of the biggest shifts I made with HS was moving from “quick fixes” to deeply nourishing foundations.

Broth sounds too simple to matter…

until you realize how much healing is supported by the boring basics: minerals, amino acids, gut support, and meals that are easy to digest when your body is inflamed.

For me, bone broth became a daily anchor: something warm, grounding, and supportive when my system felt reactive.

I am passionate about helping other women who are struggling,

Most people with HS focus on flare treatment…

but daily inflammation control is what actually changes the trajectory.

Here are 15 simple things that can help lower your daily inflammatory load 👇

1. Prioritize protein at every meal
2. Eat anti-inflammatory fats like olive oil, avocado, and fatty fish
3. Keep blood sugar stable, avoid big sugar spikes
4. Drink bone broth or mineral rich soups
5. Add fermented foods for gut support
6. Eat berries and colorful vegetables daily
7. Reduce ultra processed foods
8. Identify and limit personal trigger foods
9. Stay well hydrated
10. Sleep 7–9 hours consistently
11. Manage stress before it becomes chronic
12. Move your body daily, even gentle walking
13. Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction
14. Find pockets of joy in each day
15. Give your body time to rest when inflammation is high

None of these are magic on their own, but together they can help support your body and lower the inflammation that drives HS 🫶
