#17. Reversing my PCOS and restoring my cycle: HOLISTICALLY
In this solo episode, I share my story of being diagnosed with PCOS having had no period in 8 months and the healing journey I took myself on to restore my cycle and balance my hormones with incredible success when no other options were presented to me. Five years on and still I have no hormonal issues or symptoms!
PCOS is a hormone condition which affects 1 in 10 (even as many as 1 in 5) women in the UK, a condition which is the biggest cause of infertility and comes with a range of challenging side-effects including irregular or no periods, hair growth or loss, weight gain, acne, energy or libido changes and more. PCOS is often regarded as 'untreatable' or 'incurable' since there is no magic pill to fix it. Since our hormones are a complex eco-system, the process of managing symptoms or restoring balance can be challenging, but it may demand for you to look at your life and your health in a different way. As our education around our bodies and cycles is (in my opinion) fairly lack lustre, many women feel disempowered in the area of their health and in relation to their period. This podcast is here to serve anyone with PCOS or another hormone-related condition, especially those who are feeling at a loss or disheartened. It is also applicable to anyone experiencing other hormonal challenges, since it includes information which is beneficial to our hormones in general. Plus, it acts as a case-study for anyone interested in a holistic approach to health, taking a full snapshot of our lives when enhancing our wellbeing.
In this podcast:
- The story from my diagnosis to getting my period back within 5 months
- The dietary and lifestyle changes I made to get my period back when I had no other options presented to me except going back onto the contraceptive pill
- The steps I took to reduce my stress and improve my self-talk and self-love
- The mindset you need when embarking on a healing regimen and the level of dedication, discipline, commitment, compassion you may need
- A more energetic approach to our hormones and bodies
- The very real struggle when we feel alone in our healing
- An invitation into radical self ownership, responsibility and empowerment in the area of our health, bodies and cycles
