Most women I see in clinic are focused on their hormones, taking supplements to lower their androgens to manage symptoms. And I will admit, that also used to be me.

While lowering androgens is an important part of improving PCOS, we always have to consider why our hormones are responding this way.

Instead of simply chasing symptom management, we can take a deeper approach. You might be surprised to find a lot of it starts in the gut.

The gut is what I consider the foundations to our health. If the gut’s not happy, it impacts everything from your metabolic health, inflammation, hormones, thyroid, brain fog, energy levels and much more.

If you want my free PCOS testing guide for the complete list, send me a DM 🤍

When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, they ran a basic hormone panel and an ultrasound.
No guidance on timing. No real explanation.

My ultrasound showed PCOS… but my blood work didn’t.

For a long time, I had no clarity on what I was actually dealing with or how to fix it.
I was frustrated, dismissed, given the pill, and told to come back when I wanted to get pregnant.

But I’ve never been someone who settles for “this is just how it is.”

That experience took me on a deep healing journey to understand what was really going on in my body. Along the way, I completed my degree, became a naturopath, and now support women going through the same thing.

When I say I’ve been there, I mean it.

This is why I’m so big on testing and getting to the root cause. Because PCOS isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it can be improved and even reversed, when you understand your body properly. I’m living proof.

The power is in your hands.
But I won’t lie, it’s not always easy.

Healing isn’t linear.
But it is always worth it 🤍

If you’ve been quietly dealing with this… this one’s for you 🤍

Nobody talks about this part of PCOS. But so many of us are living it and it’s frustrating to say the least.

I want you to know, it’s not something to be ashamed of. It’s your body giving you a signal that something deeper needs support. And that’s actually a good thing because signals can be answered when we stop to listen.

For many of my clients, they feel like this is something they have to manage forever with daily tweezers and razors, hoping nobody notices.

But when you start to understand why… things will start to change. Not overnight, but overtime.

That’s what this post is about. Not a quick fix, but a real one where we address the why, not just the symptom.

If you don’t know where to start, comment or DM me PCOS and I’ll send you my free testing guide so you know what tests to ask for, what might be your underlying cause and this will give you answers on where you need to focus. No more guessing, you deserve to know why. 🤍

Most thyroid advice is surface level.

“Take medication.”
“Your labs are normal.”
“Come back in 6 months.”

Meanwhile you’re dealing with:
– fatigue
– hair loss
– brain fog
– stubborn weight

👉 Because no one has explained this:

Your thyroid is often the target
not the root cause.

Hashimoto’s is an immune condition.
And your immune system is heavily driven by your gut.

Until you address that…
you’re managing symptoms, not fixing the problem.

Most women with PCOS are told to focus on hormones.

But one of the biggest drivers I see in clinic?
→ Inflammation

And one of the most overlooked nutrients to support this?
Omega-3s

They don’t just “support general health”…
They directly influence:

• Insulin sensitivity
• Androgen activity (acne, hair growth)
• Ovulation + egg quality
• Brain health (mood, brain fog)
• Skin — including the quality of your skin oils

This is where things shift.

Because it’s not just about what your hormones are doing…
it’s about the environment they’re working in

And inflammation changes that environment.

I still see so many women preparing for pregnancy taking…
just folic acid.
Or folic acid + iodine.

Because that’s what they were told.

And it honestly still blows my mind.

Because the body is doing something incredible during pregnancy.
Growing a baby, building the placenta, and adapting every system to support new life 🤍
and that process requires far more than just one or two nutrients.

Yes, folate is essential.
But what about:

• Choline for baby’s brain and neural development
• Omega-3 DHA for brain, eyes and inflammation
• Selenium to support thyroid hormone conversion
• Zinc, iron, vitamin D…

These are not “optional extras”
they are foundational.

And yet, they’re so often overlooked.

What I see in clinic is that many women are doing “the right thing”…
but not getting the full picture.

Pregnancy preparation isn’t about ticking a box with one supplement.
It’s about giving your body the resources it actually needs
to support both you and your baby.

If you’re currently trying to conceive or thinking about it,
this is your reminder to zoom out and look at the whole picture.

And if you want help understanding what your body specifically needs,
my DMs are always open 🤍

Most PCOS advice focuses on what to remove from your diet.

But what you add can make just as much of a difference.

Certain foods directly support the metabolic and hormonal pathways involved in PCOS.

Here are a few I prioritise with my PCOS clients:

• Inositol-rich foods (oats, citrus, legumes)
→ support insulin signalling and healthy ovulation

• Omega-3 fats (salmon, sardines, mackerel, flaxseeds)
→ reduce inflammation and support metabolic health

• Protein (eggs, fish, chicken, legumes)
→ stabilises blood sugar and prevents insulin spikes

• Polyphenol-rich foods (berries, herbs, colourful plants)
→ nourish the gut microbiome and reduce inflammation

• Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower)
→ support liver detoxification and hormone metabolism

PCOS is rarely improved by simply “cutting carbs”.

It improves when you support the whole system:
metabolism, gut health, inflammation, and hormone balance.

She didn’t need another diet.
She needed answers.

When we addressed the drivers - insulin resistance, thyroid function, inflammation and hormone clearance, things started to shift.

Weight loss was the by-product.
Energy. Confidence. Identity shift. That was the real win.

And the best part? She has been able to maintain these results.

If this feels familiar, you don’t need more restriction. You need the right framework.

Some skincare can help.

But some exfoliants, spot treatments and harsh actives can quietly damage your skin barrier, especially if the real driver is internal.

When the barrier is compromised, inflammation rises.
pH shifts. The skin microbiome can’t protect you as well.
Oil production becomes more reactive.

And the cycle continues.

Acne isn’t just something to “dry out”
It’s something to understand.

Skin needs support from both sides, external and internal. But it needs the right support for you and your skin.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and identify what’s actually driving your breakouts, I offer a free call to talk through testing and next steps. 🤍

I love a good smoothie bowl 🥣🤍
But it’s way too easy to load it with fruit, call it “healthy”… and then ride the blood sugar rollercoaster all morning.

I don’t have time to feel tired, shaky or starving by 10am.
So I make sure my breakfast is built to keep me steady — protein, fibre, healthy fats and a few strategic extras.

Stable energy. Better focus. Happier hormones.

This is how I enjoy my smoothies most days:
• Frozen mixed berries (1/2 cup roughly)
• 1/4 avocado
• Greek yoghurt (80-100grams)
• Collagen
• H**p seeds (1-2tbsp)
• Grounded flaxseeds (1-2tbsp)
• Spirulina/chlorella powder
• Creatine
• Cinnamon
• Activated almond milk or water

Steal my smoothie formula, mix and match, and find what works for you 😌✨
