Ever gone from happy to uncontrollable crying, moodiness and extremely irritable only to find that your period shows up a few days later?
The other weekend, I was away with a few of my girlfriends and every single one of them was dealing with PMS issues. None of them had PCOS but all of them had PMS symptoms that were seriously affecting their work, relationships and just lives in general.
Ever had premenstrual symptoms that are even more extreme like anxiety, hopelessness, or panic attacks, excess sleepiness, feelings of depression and dissociation?
Of course with PCOS, we tend to draw the short straw. PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and the more extreme PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) are relatively common among us women with PCOS because of our hormones being absolutely all over the show. It’s hard to know what’s normal, what’s not, the difference between PMS and PMDD and whether it’s ‘bad enough’ to do anything about.
The truth is, it doesn’t have to be this way. It is completely possible for your period to just arrive. No irritability. No headaches or migraines. No food cravings. No extreme waves of sadness. It is possible. As much as these symptoms are common, they aren’t normal.
PMS and PMDD have been struggles for so many of my patients in The PCOS Protocol on their journey to improve their PCOS symptoms. They always felt as though that’s ‘just how things were’ and it was just something they’d have to deal with. News flash, It’s not!
On today’s episode of the podcast, I’m talking all about PMS, PMDD, what’s normal, what’s not and most importantly, what you can do about feeling like a manic crying, irritable hot mess pre-period. Because no one likes feeling like an angry ball of rage at least once a month! You deserve to have a stress free period that just shows up without making a scene.
This episode is for you if:
You experience irritability, sadness, anxiety and agitation in the lead up to your periodPre-period headaches or migraines are common for youYou want to know the difference between PMS and PMDDPre-period insomnia gets the better of you each monthExperiencing symptoms of hopelessness and depression are common PMS symptoms of yoursYou want a stress free period that just shows up without making you feel like hot trashSome things we cover in this episode:

Surprise!
You can obviously tell by the title of this that, yes, I’m pregnant! I’ve finally let the cat out of the bag.
Like many of you though, I was told when I was diagnosed with PCOS that:
it’d be virtually impossible for me to conceive naturallythat fertility treatment was my only hope of getting pregnant andthat I should start trying now if I wanted any chance of getting pregnant...not what you want to hear as a fresh uni grad in her mid 20s with no desire of having a baby. And yes, back then if I had started trying, I probably would’ve struggled because my hormones were all over the place. But now that I have my root cause under control, we’ve been lucky to get pregnant on my first ovulation of us trying. Not that I did all this work on my root cause just to get pregnant but being able to conceive relatively easily is a bonus of getting things working optimally.
So today's episode of The PCOS Nutritionist Podcast is a very special one, where I'll be sharing my fertility journey, the steps that helped ensure I got pregnant and stayed pregnant, age and pregnancy (because yes, I’m considered a geriatric mother 😂) and how research shows age and ability to conceive may be slightly different in PCOS as well as my advice to you.
I know it’s really hard to understand whether or not something may work for you and you’ve probably been let down many times before when trying to figure out your PCOS or try more holistic approaches to conceiving. You’ve been to all of the fertility consults, tried all of the products and supplements but it all feels like a scam since you’re still not able to conceive.
That’s why we’re offering free discovery calls to chat through whether we’re a good fit for you, what your barriers are with trying something new and what we can do to help. If you get into the protocol and work through the first 14 days of modules (completing all the coursework and modules) and you don’t get value or feel like you haven’t learned anything new, we’ll promptly refund the money you’ve paid us (minus any transaction fees).
So what do you have to lose? It’s time to figure out your root cause, learn how to make sustainable changes that you can maintain for years (not weeks! there’s no fast fad diets here!) and help get your body in the best position to conceive — whether you go with fertility treatments or not.

Ok so you’ve been trying everything for your PCOS and nothing is working. So, you start to think about what medications might be available to you to help you with your PCOS symptoms, like that frustrating weight gain you can’t seem to get on top of or those crazy sugar cravings that never seem to be satiated.
It’s overwhelming when you delve into it all. You’ve heard about Metformin, but the feedback is torn - then you hear people in PCOS forums talking about Ozempic and Saxenda, which seem to be similar but are they better? What’s the difference between them all? How do they actually work? What kind of results will they give me, will it actually be worth taking it? Side effects? Which ones will ACTUALLY help the problem rather than bandaiding it?
There’s so many things to think about when tossing up your options - especially if, like me, you went on metformin and you needed a loo present pretty much at all times 😂
So today on The PCOS Nutritionist Podcast, I wanted to give you a bit of an overview of some of the most common insulin medications for PCOS to help cut through the noise and give you some more clarity on what your options are, the difference between them all, what to ask for and of course, the research behind each.
Now this podcast is slightly different because it’s actually a snippet from our NEW mini module all about medications and PCOS! So if you’re listening along and thinking “interesting! I’d love to hear more about this” then go ahead and jump into that mini module! It’s only $24, so it’s a great option if you aren’t financially in a position to do the PCOS Protocol OR you just want help with little snippets of your PCOS journey rather than everything.
This episode is for you if:
Your weight loss is really getting the better of you and you’re over itYou’ve been told about medication options for PCOS but you’re still confused about what they actually doYour weight loss has stagnated and you’re wondering what your options areYou want to know which are the best in terms of helping that PCOS root causeThe difference between the medications is confusing youYou’ve heard your doctor and/or friends and/or people on forums with PCOS talk about a medication and you want more infoSome things we cover in this episode:
The most common medications for improving PCOS weight lossHow they workWhat I’ve seen with these medications clinicallyWhich medications actually improve your PCOS root cause, insulin and symptomsWho these drugs are prescribed for and what the requirements areHow long do you need to stay on one of these medications for it to be effectiveWhat are the side effects of these medications?How much do these medications cost?Contraindications of these medicationsResources and References:

The PCOS ProtocolEggdu -
To a lot of you, I’m sure your PCOS diagnosis left you thinking ‘okay, now what’?
Visiting the doctor, specialists, the OBGYN - everyone just tells you to either go on the Pill or that there’s nothing they can really do about it, so you just have to deal with the hand you’ve been dealt.
If you’ve been listening to the podcast or following me for a while, you’ll know that the above simply isn’t true - the Pill doesn’t fix PCOS it just puts a band-aid on some of the symptoms and while there isn’t a clear cure for PCOS, targeted lifestyle changes have been found to make a huge difference for so many women!
Where things get a little confusing - for both people dealing with PCOS and even those without it - is supplements. They’re sold pretty much everywhere and everyone is talking about them. So with hundreds of different superfoods, vitamins, mineral supplements and powders on the market, how do you know which ones are worth investing in?
I’ve had a crazy amount of questions about supplements and which ones to take if you have PCOS.
In this week’s episode, I’m talking you through everything to do with supplements. What supplements even are, what types there are, what they do in our bodies, my go-to’s, the supplements I stay away from and I’ll answer the age old question…
“What supplements do I take to help my PCOS symptoms?”
If you’ve been wondering what and whether supplements will help your PCOS symptoms and you want a bit more direction, then definitely listen in to this week’s episode. It might save you from wasting your time and buying a couple hundred dollars worth of supplements that may not actually do anything!
This episode is for you if:
You’re already taking supplements but aren’t sure if you have the right onesYou’re often fatigued and/or sickYou want to know a little bit more about how supplements work in your bodyYou aren’t clinically deficient in vitamins and minerals but you’re still feeling the symptoms of a deficiencyYou’re wondering whether the superfoods and supplements that people are raving about online are actually going to do anythingYou’re overwhelmed with all the choices of productsSome things we cover in this episode:
The types of supplements there are and what they meanWhat supplements help PCOSWhat supplements have a negative effect on PCOS symptomsFood vs. Supplements - what’s more effective for vitamin and nutrient absorption?InflammationHow IBS symptoms affect your how well your supplements work.My go-to and stay-away-from supplements -
When it comes to fertility, there’s a lot of talk about getting pregnant and staying pregnant with PCOS, but there’s an important topic that no one is really talking about…breastfeeding!
There’s lots of information out there now on getting pregnant and PCOS, but virtually nothing about what to do when you actually are pregnant. What do I need to consider? Are there any additional risks that I need to know about? With breastfeeding, we’re always told that breast is best - and it is - but for many women, breastfeeding isn’t always an option.
While the studies on breastfeeding and PCOS are pretty limited, the research that has been done has found that women with PCOS may have greater problems when it comes to breastfeeding. Your midwife, GP or antenatal educator might not know this because they don’t specialise in PCOS.
How do you know if this is you? What signs do you need to look out for? And what can you do to improve your chances of being able to breastfeed? There is a lot to think about when it comes to breastfeeding, especially when you have PCOS and it can be confusing to know where to turn for information.
So, on this week’s episode of The PCOS Nutritionist Podcast, I’m talking all things breastfeeding - how to know if your breastfeeding ability is going to be impacted by your PCOS, why this may be happening and the changes you can make to help. This topic is super interesting, and there’s a lot more to breastfeeding than breast is best - if you want to know why, make sure you tune in.
This episode is for you if:
You’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant or recently postpartumYou want to know if PCOS will stop you from being able to breastfeedYou can’t / weren’t able to breastfeed and you want to hear more about the science behind why that might beYou have insulin resistanceYou had issues with ovulation during pubertyYour GP / midwife / antenatal educator doesn’t seem to be able to answer your questionsSome things we cover in this episode:
The top three things that are likely to impair your chances of being able to breastfeedWhat insulin resistance has to do with breast growth, milk production and breastfeeding in generalThings outside of PCOS that may be affecting your ability to breastfeedHow to know if your baby isn’t getting the nutrients they need from your breastmilkWhat’s the best way to eat for breastfeedingGetting back to your pre-baby weight - is it possible to do it and breastfeed at the same time? -
What does a doctor do when she has PCOS, but yet none of the treatments she’s been taught work for her? This was exactly the dilemma Dr Danah Bharmal was facing. Her periods were very irregular, her weight kept going up and up and now her face was exploding with acne. She was already eating well, and working out with a personal trainer but nothing seemed to work. She’d also tried a ketogenic diet when it was all anyone with PCOS was talking about online, but again nothing. Danah had also been measuring her HbA1c and other insulin markers to see if her insulin was contributing to her symptoms, but her tests all came back within the normal range. But this all changed when Danah worked out what her ‘root cause’ was.
Highlights, takeaways and quick wins:
Your doctor likely won’t know how to advise you on lifestyle treatments for PCOS, as they aren’t taught thisYour ‘normal’ HbA1c and other insulin markers doesn’t necessarily mean your insulin is working properly. Why finding this ‘root cuase’ is so important for matching you with he right lifestyle treatmentsEating ‘healthy’ is different for all of usSugar cravings are often a symptom of your insulin not functioning properly. Fatigue is also a really common symptom of your insulin not functioning properly. Not all exercise is made equal- working out with a PT may be a waste of moneyKeto is not necessary or even helpful for most women with PCOS.Want more of where this come from?

By far the most common question I get is, “ What’s the best diet for PCOS”, or “how do I get pregnant with PCOS” or “how do I lose weight with PCOS”.
These are all great questions, and EXACTLY what I was typing into google a few short years ago. What I’m going to teach you today, is that the question you need to ask instead is “What’s driving my PCOS?”
This episode is for you if:
You’ve asked any of these questions before orIf you have any PCOS symptom that you want to improve.Highlights, takeaways and quick wins:
Our genes predispose us to PCOS- no questions thereThese genes that predispose us as also the genes that are going to help us survive when the Apocalypse happens (come at me doomsdayers!)But there is always a system in our body that’s also gone a bit haywire that’s also driving with our PCOS- and this is what we can change!Insulin is the most common driver (up to 80% of us have some insulin resistance)My own experience: My genetic predisposition from 2 grandmothers with insulin resistance and/or Type 2 diabetesCompeting for New Zealand in running and triathlon when I developed insulin resistance.Insulin resistance isn’t just caused by eating too much and exercising too little- like I’d been told. Stress (over exercising) was contributing to my insulin resistanceTreating my root cause (insulin and high stress hormones) helped improve my testosterone levels Reducing my testosterone also helped me lose weight, improve my acne, get my periods back after 2 years.Want more of where this come from?

Ok, let's rewind the clock a few years and take you back to 2005. At this time I was at university studying to become a nutritionist and racing in triathlons competitively.
You’d think from reading that one sentence that I would have nutrition down pat - and I thought I did! But the reality was that I was really struggling with a plan for my nutrition. I was eating ‘all the right things’ yet I was getting this INSANE sugar cravings I couldn’t seem to get on top of.
I would find myself ploughing through pastries, chocolate and crisps and then thinking “what the heck am I doing?!” then go back to trying to eat less and those classic food pyramid recommendations, all for this cycle to happen all over again.
I thought I needed a better meal plan. If I could just have a good meal plan I'd stick to it.
But what I actually needed was better blood sugar and stress management.
This is the same as Jamie, one of our patients, who sent us this email the other day:
“I first thought the protocol was going to be another impersonal programme where you are just emailed diets and information and are told what to eat.
I was also concerned that I wouldn't have the willpower to stick with the changes.
After years of trying and failing different diets and dealing with crazy hormones, I was very worried I would sign up and not be able to stick to the lifestyle changes
Never in a million years did I think I would ever be able to have a relationship with food like I have now. I have found it so easy to maintain my weight and periods for the first time in my life.”
For the majority of patients we see, it’s not that they don’t know how to live a healthy lifestyle or that they need a meal plan to stick to - in fact, I rarely see it being helpful.
What most PCOS patients need is to understand their root cause that’s driving those symptoms. Once they’ve figured that out, they’re able to eat in a way that’s not only sustainable but also INTUITIVE!
If you’re feeling like I’ve just read your mind (and you’re struggling with your nutrition), have another listen to this podcast we did with Stephanie.
This episode is for you if:

So you find out you have PCOS, you’re given little to no direction on what to do next and it feels like you’ll never feel better and this is just how it’s going to be from here on out.
Today’s episode I’m joined by the wonderful Lizzie who’s based in my favourite place (that isn’t New Zealand), the UK! Lizzie is a shining example of how there is hope to getting on top of these symptoms, how you can actually make steps to achieve that and that you are far from alone in this journey.
And fair enough right? When you’re exhausted, have all of these unexplained, annoying symptoms, you’re trying to live a ‘normal’ life and no one seems to be able to give you any solid answers, it feels like the odds are stacked against you.
Lizzie’s progress has been phenomenal and it’s proof that even when the odds are stacked against you, you CAN get through this and find what will actually work for you and your body.
We talk all about her journey, her issues with autoimmune conditions (and why that can be pretty common in PCOS), whether you can have more than one root cause and Lizzie’s tips for making lifestyle changes genuinely sustainable.
I know when you’re looking for ways to help your PCOS symptoms that all the information that’s out there, doctors telling you you’re not trying hard enough and having nothing seem to work for you is absolutely crushing. I know it because I’ve been you and I can tell you from the other side that you don’t have to just ‘deal with it’.
This episode is for you if:
You’ve ever been told that you’ll struggle to conceive or you likely won’t be able to have children naturallyYou struggle to move stubborn weight gain, particularly around your midsectionYou’ve got other health issues in addition to PCOS and you don’t know which one is YOUR ‘root cause’You feel like you’ve been going around in circles with doctorsYou’ve been told to ‘just lose weight’You feel like you’re getting to the stage of having a breakdown because it’s all too overwhelmingYou struggle with tiredness and fatigueSome things we cover in this episode:
Why there’s no quick fix and how to approach lifestyle changesThe low GI diet - if it’s helpfulWhy you shouldn’t listen to what works for other peopleWhether you can have more than one ‘root cause’High Prolactin and what that meansWhy it’s important to stagger lifestyle and habit changesHashimoto’s Thyroiditis (low thyroid function)Coeliac DiseaseWhy you won’t see changes overnightLinks to our programs:

Getting a PCOS diagnosis is one thing, but understanding that root cause and knowing what testing to do to look for that is a whole other thing!
I’ve had more women than I can count tell me that it took them multiple doctors to even get a PCOS diagnosis and then when they finally did, they were told there’s nothing you can do but a) get on the pill and come back when you want to get pregnant and b) lose weight. And for some women, who had lean PCOS, once they finally got a diagnosis they were pretty much told well you kinda just have to deal with it. UGH! Let me tell you now that you really don’t.
Today’s mini podcast is all about this diagnosis and testing around PCOS. What is the actual process of getting a PCOS diagnosis? I’ve been told I have high testosterone - why and what does that mean? What are androgens? What if my lab results showed that I have low testosterone - can I still have PCOS? Have you been properly diagnosed? What are other conditions that look similar to PCOS in their symptomatic presentation but aren’t actually PCOS?
I’m going to answer all of these questions and more in this MINI PCOS POD. I do these podcasts every week where I put a question box out on instagram and open the floor to you all!
But because I’ve had so many questions related to the actual diagnosis component of PCOS and it’s something I’ve haven’t spoken a whole lot about - I’ve gone more into symptoms - so I thought it was really important to cover off.
This episode is for you if:
You’ve just been diagnosed with PCOSYou think you might have PCOS but you’re not sureYou’re not sure if your period is considered irregularYou’re not getting your cycles but you don’t fit the rest of the PCOS (Rotterdam) CriteriaSome things we cover in this episode:
The Rotterdam Criteria - what is it and how does work?How doctors will diagnose you with PCOSWhether it’s PCOS or Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (AH)How to tell if you’re actually getting a period or it’s inter-menstrual bleedingWhy ovulation kits are a waste of money for women with PCOSRelevant Episodes:

You’d think that those working in the health and medical space would have absolutely no problem with their PCOS right? Well not really. Unfortunately, our modern westernised medical system isn’t well set up for more chronic issues like PCOS - and it’s not hugely focused on in medical school.
Today I’m joined by the lovely Karina! She’s a former emergency department technician who’s just finishing her Masters of Nursing. Karina was dealing with a lot of the classic insulin resistant PCOS symptoms. She had the knowledge but wasn’t getting anywhere with her symptoms and was told over and over by her doctors that medications and the Pill were really the only options when it came to having any real change with PCOS symptoms.
Karina came to work with me in The PCOS Protocol to really get to the root of those PCOS symptoms and wow, she has come such a long way. Not only has she seen a great improvement in her weight and physical symptoms, but she’s gotten her energy back, she’s not experiencing those awful sugar cravings, hangry attacks and she’s starting to feel like herself again.
You don’t really know how important your body is until something goes wrong. In this episode, Karina and I talk about everything from the training that they get in medical school for PCOS to what she wants others to know about finding a fix for their PCOS symptoms - as well as a whole lot more. I think we can all learn a lot from her journey when it comes to our own. I know a lot of you will resonate with parts of her story so I definitely recommend having a listen, her story is so inspiring.

You’re a medical professional with PCOS and you can’t seem to figure out what will resolve your symptomsYou have sugar cravings or can’t stop eating sugar when you start eating itYou have stubborn weight gain that won’t shiftWhy you’re not losing weight even though you’re eating clean and exercising regularlyYou’ve had friends / family / strangers judging you for not eating certain foodsSome things we cover in this episode:

Welcome back to another Mini PCOS Pod! This week is a mixed bag when it comes to questions - we’re talking sugar cravings, pregnancy, what to do straight after a diagnosis, period / ovulation tracking apps and egg reserves with the Pill.
There are still a few strangling questions off the back of the birth control podcast so I’m talking about those first while they’re top of mind for everyone, and then tackle the rest following that.
PCOS doesn’t just affect fertility though. Yeah, it’s called poly-cystic OVARIAN syndrome but that doesn’t mean the ovaries are the only thing affected! PCOS affects so many different things, which is why your symptoms span beyond your reproductive system - like hair loss, unwanted hair growth, acne, weight gain. Which is also why finding and working on that root cause is SO so important.
This episode is for you if:
You’ve just been diagnosed with PCOSYou’re trying to conceive at a heavier weightYou need advice on coping on both the mental and physical cravings for sugarYou’re on the PillSome things we cover in this episode:
What the very next step is after getting a PCOS diagnosisWhat to expect with pregnancy at a heavier weightWhether being diagnosed with PCOS spectrum changes the approach to resolution at allHow to cope with with sugar cravings - the physical desire and the mental battleThe best apps for fertility awareness on contraceptionWhether or not your egg reserves aren’t being depleted if you’re in the Pill (which suppresses ovulation)Relevant Episodes:

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you’ll know that I used to be an elite triathlete competing nationally and internationally while I was growing up, so exercise has always been a massive part of my life. I mean I have a degree in exercise science too, so you could say I’m a pretty big fan of getting my body moving!
For me, I wasn’t losing any weight despite training for hours a day and eating well. It didn’t make any sense, and given my background you think I should’ve been able to figure it out right? Cue the wild goose chase (that lasted years) of me researching, speaking to specialists and the like, trying to figure out what the HECK was going on. Because things just didn’t add up!
So now that I have the hindsight and a lot more experience in the field some 10 years later, I wanted to shed some more light on exercise and PCOS.
I know a lot of you are in the same position that I was years ago doing all the “right things” but not getting anywhere, in fact it was seemingly making my symptoms worse! I also touch on how to stop giving up before you see results (well, what personally works for me, if I knew what worked for everyone I’d probably be rolling in $$$ and relaxing on a sunny beach somewhere!) as well as a question I hear all of the time: “why are my blood tests coming back normal if I still have symptoms?”.
I hope when you’re listening that this resonates with you, sometimes you just need one comment or nugget of information to switch on that light and have an ‘Aha!’ moment.
This episode is for you if:
You’re exercising a lot and not losing any weightYou’re exhausted after a workoutYou’re worried your PCOS means you’ll have to give up endurance sports / running etc foreverIs yoga helpful for women with PCOS?How do I stop giving up before I see results?Why are my blood tests saying things are normal if I still have symptoms?Some things we cover in this episode:

Nygammal säsong pga pappaledighet.
Under hösten 2015 överlåter en rik gammal dam sin allra käraste ägodel, en villa värd 15 miljoner, till en 40 år yngre läkare, som endast känt henne i några år. När det här uppdagas börjar damens släktingar undersöka vad som hänt och det som då kommer fram är både skrämmande och sorgligt.
Avsnittet producerades år 2018
