PCOS

PCOS has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to learn about my body. It’s been something that I’ve had to deal with for a while. It dropped my self esteem so much. The hardest/saddest two things about this was hearing “ you will have a hard time losing weight” && “ you won’t be able to have kids anymore .” Thankfully , God heard my prayers and blessed me after not having a kid for 10 years because he knew I always wanted 6😅. Now, I’m onto my journey of losing weight and finding my routine as a PCOS girly. && That has been difficult since my whole life as an athlete I would do high intensity workouts to lose weight and be toned however I’ve learned that with PCOS you have to do the total opposite. So if you have PCOS or recommend any workout routine/foods feel free to comment so we can be friends! 💕💕 #pcoslifestyle #pcosjourney #pcosworkouts #pcosfriendlyfood #pcosawareness

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women, often leading to challenges like weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and fertility issues. Understanding PCOS is crucial; women are encouraged to consult healthcare professionals for individualized advice. Low-carb diets, regular exercise, particularly moderate intensity workouts, and mindfulness practices can assist in managing symptoms. Incorporating nutrient-rich foods such as whole grains, leafy greens, and healthy fats is also beneficial. It’s important to celebrate small victories and prioritize mental well-being throughout this journey. Connecting with others facing similar challenges can tremendously help as shared experiences foster encouragement and motivation. Together, we can navigate the complexities of PCOS with support and actionable strategies.

I started a GLP1 2 years ago. Lost 100lbs and reversed my PCOS that I had since 13 years old. Got pregnant at age 44. I workout 1 hour a day and follow calorie deficit but I couldn’t have done it without GLP1 MJ.
