About this episode

Trigger warning: I discuss fertility testing and weight loss in this episode, so please avoid this episode if those topics are triggering for you


On Monday we did an episode with the amazing Hazel Wallace all about PCOS and gynae health. It was an education, and I’m so thankful to Hazel for helping me create a resource for everyone who wants to know more about it as a condition and all the latest research. 


I mentioned in the episode that I’ve been on a real journey with my PCOS this year. It was one of my new years resolutions to get it under control, and I know health doesn’t always love sticking to resolutions, but hey, I’m a goal orientated girl. 


So, after the episode I had loads of DMs asking what I’ve specifically done this year to tackle my PCOS, improve my skin, lose weight, lower my inflammation and generally improve my all round health, so I thought, why don’t I take you through it in a bonus episode.


Quick disclaimer before we begin, I’m not a doctor. I’m just a girl who was fed up of her symptoms and wanted to try absolutely everything to feel her best for her wedding!


This is my personal experience and not medical advice. If you want a medical expert’s take on PCOS, go and listen to Monday’s episode with Hazel!
