If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by supplements, or frustrated that you’re “doing everything right” but still don’t feel better, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re taking a grounded, anti-diet look at supplements for PCOS. We’re talking about what actually helps, what’s often overhyped, and why supplements don’t work the way you expect when your body is under-fueled or overstressed.
✨ In this episode, we cover:

• Why supplements feel so appealing, especially if you’ve dieted or have PCOS
• How chronic under-eating and stress can mimic nutrient deficiencies
• Why supplements often don’t work when foundations aren’t in place
• The supplements I recommend specific to your PCOS symptoms

I created a PCOS Supplement Decision Flowchart to help you decide:

• what (if anything) to add

• what to focus on first

• and how to stop guessing

For many women with PCOS, nutrition advice sounds like: eat less, cut carbs, and try harder.

But what happens when following that advice leads to food guilt, obsession, restriction, and worsened symptoms?

In this episode, Brooklyn dives into the often-overlooked connection between disordered eating and PCOS, inspired by a real client story that highlights a much larger issue in PCOS care.

You’ll learn why weight-focused recommendations are so common, how chronic restriction impacts hormones and metabolism, and why eating more, not less, is often the missing piece for PCOS management.

This conversation is for anyone who has felt confused, blamed, or discouraged after doing “everything right” and still not seeing results.

• Why women with PCOS are 2–3x more likely to struggle with disordered eating

• How calorie restriction and carb fear fuel food obsession and binge-restrict cycles

• The role of stress hormones and under-fueling in worsening PCOS symptoms

• Why weight loss is not required for improvements in insulin resistance or hormone balance

• How eating more consistently can actually support blood sugar and metabolism

• Why healing your relationship with food is a core part of PCOS care, not an afterthought

• What to focus on adding to meals and snacks instead of what to cut out

You didn’t fail PCOS management.
PCOS management often fails women by ignoring biology, stress, and mental health.

The solution isn’t more control or less food, it’s more nourishment, consistency, and compassion.

If this episode resonated with you and you’re ready to manage your PCOS without restriction, guilt, or food rules, Brooklyn supports women inside PCOS Thrive Academy, a program focused on fueling your body, balancing hormones, and healing your relationship with food at the same time.

Before you start setting New Year’s goals or planning a 2026 “reset,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down.

Today we’re breaking down what emotional eating is actually communicating, why it’s not a personal failure, and how to expand your emotional toolbox so food isn’t the only coping strategy your brain knows.

We’ll talk about:

• why emotional eating is completely normal
• the difference between emotional hunger vs. biological hunger
• how restriction makes emotional eating so much worse

This is a compassionate, shame-free conversation that will help you understand your behaviors in a whole new way and start responding with intention instead of guilt.

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real-life habits I’m prioritizing in this current season, not because they’re perfect or you should copy them, but because they fit my actual life!

This episode was inspired by a recent client call where we created a realistic, sustainable plan that fit her extremely busy schedule. It was such a powerful reminder to me (and one that. I think we could all use from time to time) that your routine should support your season… not the ideal version of life you wish you had.

In this episode I’ll walk you through:
• the habits grounding me right now as a new mom• how my routines have shifted from season to season• why your health habits should evolve with your life• how to choose anchor habits that support your hormones, energy, and wellbeing• permission to stop chasing the “perfect” routine and choose what’s realistic

If you’ve been feeling like you can’t stay consistent or that your routine keeps “falling apart,” this episode will help you reframe your expectations and build a version of wellness that actually works for you!

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of my past clients, Kiersten, whose transformation is one of the most beautiful and powerful journeys I’ve witnessed as a dietitian.

Kiersten is a college student studying nutrition and dietetics with the goal of becoming an intuitive eating dietitian herself. But before she ever stepped into this work, her relationship with food and her body felt chaotic, consuming, and exhausting. She was stuck in the binge–restrict cycle, constantly tracking, weighing, overthinking food, and feeling disconnected from her life, especially around the holidays.

In this conversation, we walk through:

• What her relationship with food looked like before coaching
• The moment she realized she needed support and what made her reach out
• The mindset shifts that completely changed her day-to-day life
• How she stopped letting the scale dictate her choices
• What it was like to navigate the holiday season while learning intuitive eating
• How she learned to trust her body, enjoy food again, and get her spark back
• Her advice for anyone afraid to break old rules or start healing

Kiersten shares candidly about the anxiety, the breakthroughs, the challenges, and the relief that came with letting go of control. Her story is such a powerful reminder that you do not have to stay stuck in food rules forever, healing is possible, sustainable, and so worth it.

If you’re navigating binge-restrict patterns, body image struggles, or fear around holiday eating… we hope that this episode will help you!
