Mira

This episode is brought to you by Mira, a company that helps women track their actual hormone levels so they know exactly when their fertile and infertile days are.

As a woman with PCOS who has previously suffered from irregular cycles, I know how difficult it can make tracking your cycles.

Not only this, some PCOS women have constantly high luteinizing hormone (LH) levels that can be as much three times the normal range. This can in turn lead to false readings when using things like Ovulating Predictor Kits because they might not detect a surge in luteinizing hormone as levels are constantly high. But not with Mira. Mira is an Artificially Intelligent-driven fertility device that has been designed with irregular cycles and PCOS women in mind, so it is able to detect the surge in LH above your high baseline. This is because we are all unique and Mira gathers data about you and tailors it's predictions to you. Whereas OPKs are designed around what is 'average'. Mira will record your actual hormone levels each month and it's complex learning algorithm will predict your fertile days every cycle.

The more data Mira gathers about you each month, the smarter it gets and the more accurate it will be at making predictions for your following cycle.

So, Mira has successfully taken away the stress and guesswork involved in predicting your fertile and infertile days. To buy your very own Mira fertility tracker, go to miracare.com and use the code pcos25 at checkout to get $25 off your order.

Diet and lifestyle are two key components to take into consideration when looking to treat PCOS.

In episode 53, I speak with Isabel Dawkes, a Nutritionist (Reg Nutritional Therapist July 2020), qualified PT and trained chef, about how nutritional therapy can help PCOS. . Isabel delves into how to use diet and lifestyle to balance your hormones and naturally reverse your PCOS symptoms.

Yoga is one of the best exercises you can do for PCOS and restoring hormonal balance. Exercise does not always have to be an intense workout in the gym. As a matter of fact, yoga and meditation has powerful healing effects for PCOS. The health benefits for PCOS are incredible. I can say, from personal experience, I am really glad and grateful that I gave yoga a chance because I thoroughly enjoy it. But also yoga has helped me so much, not only physically but mentally. It truly is a very powerful form of exercise. 

In this episode of The PCOS Oracle Podcast, I speak with Lara Higginson about yoga and the benefits for PCOS.

I absolutely loved chatting with Lara and learning more about yoga. She identifies just how powerful yoga can be for our overall health and wellbeing. If you haven’t given yoga a go yet, you definitely will want to after listening to this episode

After completing her master’s in philosophy, Politics and Economics, Lara spent two years in the Finance Industry in London. The company experienced structural changes and transitioned from an Insurance provider to a Managing General Agent (MGA).

This was a nerve-wracking time for employees. Lara (@larayogawellness) saw first-hand how people's mental health affected the company’s productivity. Several people left due to stress, anxiety and depression, so naturally she became more concerned about people's mental well-being.

Lara offered Mental Health Workshops for employees and weekly Yoga classes and noticed that this encouraged team morale and boosted people's mood and productivity.

She was so impressed by the positive benefits from yoga that she decided to leave her career in Finance and spend two months in India to become a qualified Yoga Teacher. Lara did 500hrs of studying to get a deep understanding of the theory and history behind yoga as well as the benefits of the poses.

Lara now help companies implement wellness strategies to help their employees become more resilient to change, more productive and happier at work.

She offers stress management workshops and yoga classes to people to provide them with the tools needed to manage their own physical and mental well-being.

One of the most frequently asked questions I get from my PCOS clients is do I have to avoid coffee? 

 

Well here's the thing, researchers have found tremendous health benefits to consuming coffee for PCOS, like increased insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. But unfortunately, it can also have negative effects. When we drink coffee our cortisol and blood sugar levels rise. Now as a woman with PCOS, I need to manage these spikes in cortisol and blood sugar in order to maintain hormonal balance for my PCOS. I enjoy drinking a hot cup of coffee in the morning, so before going cold turkey and never drinking coffee again, I decided to see if there were other options.

And that's where I came across Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee. It provides me with all the benefits of coffee, while also helping me prevent some of the downsides. It helps me manage my blood sugar levels and looks after my hormones. 

 

So as you may have guessed, the main 'superfood' ingredient in Four Sigmatics coffee is mushrooms. 

 

The mushroom coffee that I have been drinking regularly and enjoying thus far is the Ground Mushroom Coffee with Lion's Mane & Chaga. I drink this one in the morning because lions mane is known to help improve focus and brain function. 

 

Four Sigmatic has lots of types of mushroom coffee to choose from. Why not try it out today. Visit foursigmatic.com and use discount code pcos77 for 10% off your order.

With thousands of supplements to choose from, it can be difficult to know which are right for your PCOS.

 

I get it, when I was first diagnosed with PCOS I had no idea which supplements I should be taking.

 

But from my research and testing out so many supplements. I learnt how one supplement in particular had huge health benefits for women with PCOS. That supplement is inositol. 

 

Inositol is a type of sugar that is naturally found in food. It has been shown to help lower Insulin and Testosterone Levels, improve fertility and cholesterol levels. All great benefits for PCOS women!

There are nine forms of Inositol but the most studied are Myo and D-Chiro Inositol.

Myo inositol is the most abundant form of inositol in the human body. Its job is to help the cells in the body absorb glucose in the blood.

D-Chiro inositol, on the other hand, is involved in the creation of stored energy in the body's tissues. 

 

The inositol I personally use is Ovasitol. This is because it is a combination of both Myo-Inositol and D-chiro Inositol found in the body’s normal ratio of 40:1. Such a combination is more beneficial than taking either alone. 

Theralogix’s Ovasitol is tested and certified by NSF® International. This is a not-for-profit organization that reviews products for content accuracy and purity. Ovasitol can be purchased in sachet or in canister and scoop form. Both options provide a 3 month supply of inositol. Ovasitol is odorless, tasteless and convenient. Simply mix one sachet or one level scoop in water or any other beverage twice a day after food. I personally like the portability of the sachets as it allows me to take it while I am on the go. This way I have no excuse for forgetting to take my Ovasitol.
