Ep 69 - Insulin resistance hacks - that ...

BRIGITTE AND MEL
About this episode

WHO DOESN'T LOVE A HACK?!

About 70% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance driving their hormones out of balance and creating all those symptoms we struggle with - the acne, hairloss, hirsutism, skin tags, weight management struggles, moodiness and cravings.

This ep is all about some little tricks that can help you to balance your blood sugar and therefore stabilise your insulin levels.

So excited to share this because there's a lot in here we've never covered before.

Would love to hear if you give any of these hacks a go!
