Welcome back to another episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast. Today, I’m excited to share with you a truly inspiring journey. Today's story is about Harper, who addressed her PCOS with a plant-based diet. This story isn’t just about the diet itself, but the broader lesson on how each person must uniquely navigate their health challenges by understanding and catering to their body’s specific needs.In this discussion, we explore how Harper, despite facing an uphill battle with her PCOS symptoms, found substantial relief through a plant-based diet. This was surprising because I don’t typically advocate for a plant-based diet for PCOS due to the challenges in balancing macronutrients, particularly protein. However, Harper's experience underscores the importance of personalizing one's approach to health and nutrition.Harper had transitioned to a plant-based diet due to other health issues, primarily inflammatory disorders, and found significant improvements in her GI tract and skin health. However, she noticed her PCOS symptoms, like menstrual irregularity and abdominal weight gain, began to worsen. This paradoxical situation led her to explore more about PCOS and eventually to our work together.Through our collaboration, Harper discovered the critical balance of foods that worked for her body. Harper’s story is a powerful reminder of the uniqueness of each individual's journey with PCOS. It highlights that while certain diets or lifestyles are widely recommended, the key to managing PCOS effectively lies in understanding and responding to our own body’s cues. Whether it’s adjusting meal compositions, meal timings, or even the type of exercise, the small, personalized tweaks can make a significant difference.Happy Listening!You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereThe full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/100Let’s continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?
