Ep 88 - PCOS Types DEEP DIVE - Stress

BRIGITTE AND MEL
About this episode

If there’s one thing that has been the primary driver of both of our PCOS journeys – it’s been stress.

As business owners, mums and just women in the world – stress isn’t going away. But we have found ways to manage it and support our stress response from the inside out.

In this episode we look at the herbs, supplements and lifestyle practices that can help your body handles stress better and help your mind to be better prepped for stressful periods of life.

If you’re someone who has a high stress job or day to day life but feel like you ‘thrive under pressure’ – don’t ignore this ep. We relate to you so much because we have identified as that in the past too…but stress can be having more of an impact than you realise and you may really benefit from bringing in some support.

This episode brought to you by Mel's soon to be released PCOS fertility course! ⁠Join the waitlist here.⁠
