  • Stop! This isn’t just a picture of a pretty smoothie… This is an important post for my pcos sisters🙌🏾 The number one question I get from clients with PCOS is - Why is it more difficult to lose weight with PCOS?😭 It comes down to 2 major reasons ❗️Reason number 1 - Insulin Resistance If you have PCOS it is likely that you have insulin resistance. In fact up to 70 percent of women with PCOS have insulin resistance meaning that their cells can’t use insulin properly. Resistance to insulin causes and can be caused by weight gain. Besides leading to weight gain insulin resistance directly affects the ovaries by impairing ovulation, causing them to make testosterone (male sex hormone) instead of estradiol (female sex hormone) ❗️Reason number 2 - Inflammation The foods you eat, hidden food sensitivities, lack of exercise and stress trigger a chronic unseen inflammation deep in your cells which contributes to disease and weight gain. Furthermore this type of chronic inflammation disrupts hormone receptors and suppresses ovulation. It also stimulates both your adrenals and ovaries to make more androgens. How to lose weight with PCOS naturally💡 ✨Generally most women with PCOS do well on a gluten free, dairy free, low carb, low sugar diet. That means limiting the white stuff like flour and sugar and even sticking to low sugar fruits like berries. 💜This Creamy Blueberry Cauliflower Smoothie is packed full of hormone balancing nutrients and is 100% PCOS diet approved. Don’t be afraid of the cauliflower, it’s pretty bland and doesn’t impart much flavour on the smoothie. I mean if you can make cauliflower pizza why not a smoothie right😝 ✨By the way if you’re wondering if you need to go Keto if you have PCOS... The short answer is no. Although Keto may be beneficial for some women with PCOS it certainly isn’t a requirement. 🏃🏾‍♀️Head on over to the blog where you’ll find the recipe for this amazing smoothie and once you’ve tried it make sure to let me know how much you loved it😘 Hit me with any questions on PCOS nutrition in the comments please 👇🏾 . . . #naturalfitfoodie #nutritioncoach #pcosfood #pcos #pcosdiet #pcosweightloss #pcoswarrior
  • ✨Ladies meet Daysy ~ Hormone free Birth Control 🙌🏾 As a teenager my period pain was so bad that I’d always have to miss a day of school 😭#periodproblems So my mom took me to a gyno and I left with a prescription for the birth control pill because I was led to believe that it was the only solution for my period pain and acne 🤬 I wasn’t alone ... almost 60% of women take hormonal birth control for symptoms NOT birth control 😱 If you go into your doc for period pain, heavy periods, acne, PCOS etc it’s almost certain you will be recommended to go on the pill ❌ ✨But what if instead of shutting down our reproductive system we addressed the root cause of these issues? ✨What if we educate women on how their bodies work and how diet and nutrition factor in their health? ✨Oh wait that’s not your doctors job, it’s mine ❤️ #nutritioncoach So I’m here to tell you before you get on, continue on or let them put your teenage daughter on hormones educate yourself🤛🏾📚Read up on the side effects of hormonal birth control.

  • 💚Could everyday personal care products and cosmetics be the cause of your monthly menstrual woes?🤔 Unfortunately yes😢 ✨It is reported that your body absorbs 60% of what is applied topically directly into the bloodstream. It does not go through your liver or kidneys to filter the toxins like food does. Your body has no defense.😱 ✨The average personal care products can contain Endocrine Disruptors, which are substances that alter your natural hormones🙅🏾‍♀️ ✨Endocrine disruptors have been indicated in many conditions including : PMS, menstrual headaches and cramps , breast cancer, infertility, endomitriosis and miscarriage. 👀Go take a look at the ingredients in all your personal care products. If you see any of the following ingredients from the list below trash them! ⚠Parabens ~found in almost everything sadly ⚠Triclosan ~usually found in antibacterial soaps and hand wash toothpaste ⚠Resorcinol ~usually found in hair dyes ⚠Phthalates ~usually found in cosmetics such as fragrances, face wash, lotions and nail polish ⚠ Fragrance / Parfum~ In the U.S., manufacturers can legally hide hundreds of synthetic chemicals in the one word -fragrance- without revealing what those ingredients are. 💡If tossing these products out at the same time seems daunting here are a couple tips to get you started 1) First finish them off and when buying new ones aim for safer alternatives. 2) Try to simplify your product line up. You do not need 100 different products to be beautiful or have a clean home. 🏃🏾‍♀️Head on over to the blog where you'll find a variety of DIY natural recipes like this DIY Herbal Body Oil. 💕It's Luxurious 💕Fragrant 💕Requires only 2 common ingredients to make and is the perfect alternative to store bought body lotion #praisebe 👏 Link in bio 👆🏾 . . . #naturalfitfoodie #diy #natural #naturalbeauty #bodyoil #rose #homemade #hormones #endocrinedisruptors
