    May 22 2024

    Text with your questions & comments for future episodes!

    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about PCOS Adrenal Health, Cortisol and PCOS, and the PCOS-adrenal connection.

    Mentioned in the episode:

    NAC: https://s.thorne.com/NRI4c
    Inositol: https://s.thorne.com/esr0F
    Probiotic: https://s.thorne.com/RaN5D
    Rhodiola: https://s.thorne.com/mVyrH
    Theanine: https://s.thorne.com/ABrxm

    In today's episode, I'll share not just my personal anecdotes but also dive into the signs, symptoms, and the nuanced process of diagnosing adrenal PCOS. We'll also unpack the role of stress hormones, the relevance of cortisol rhythm over mere blood tests, and discuss why adrenal health matters more than we might think, especially for those of us leading high-pressure lives.

    Imagine being a high-flying professional or a dedicated athlete and discovering that your unwavering commitment to success could be silently contributing to hormone imbalances. It's a paradox I see often in my clients, and in this episode, we discuss why individuals with seemingly robust drive and stamina could be more prone to adrenal PCOS. We examine the telltale signs of adrenal imbalance, the surprising connection between past traumas and PCOS, and why even the strongest among us need to heed the call to manage stress.

    In the closing chapter of our conversation, we embrace the delicate dance of fertility and menstrual health, confronting the irony that conception might just occur when we ease up on our strict health regimens. I'll also introduce you to my secret allies—rhodiola and ashwagandha—and share how these natural wonders can be instrumental in supporting adrenal function. By the end of this episode, you'll have a trove of lifestyle adjustments and holistic strategies to help you navigate your adrenal PCOS

  • Breaking Barriers in Self-Care for a Balanced Life with PCOS
    May 14 2024

    Text with your questions & comments for future episodes!

    Struggling with self-care isn't just a personal challenge; it's a universal conundrum that can leave us feeling like we're neglecting our own needs. As I peel back the layers of mental barriers that keep us from indulging in self-care, you'll find new perspectives that may just be the breakthrough you've been looking for.

    Nutrition isn't just about what we eat; it's about the entire ecosystem of our well-being, especially in turbulent economic times.

    Routine might sound mundane, but it's the cornerstone of a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, and I'm here to show how it doesn't have to be a chore. From my morning matcha ritual to gym time vigor post-work, I map out the balance we all seek amidst daily chaos and how caring for ourselves can actually CREATE time and energy for us.

    In today's episode, we're exploring the intricate connections between pelvic floor health and PCOS- from the adrenal and nervous system/stress hormone connections, to sexual health to medical trauma, posture, and pain.

    You might think the pelvic floor health has little to do with your health or your PCOS- this podcast may change your mind. I'll share my own personal insights along with evidence based information so you can see the real world impact of good pelvic floor therapy. I've become convinced- this is the missing link for adrenal health in so many of us with PCOS.

We unravel the mysterious ways these hidden muscles impact everything from our nervous system to sexual function and core stability. This isn't your average health talk; we're shattering myths and opening doors to conversations that are long overdue. Whether you're well-versed or new to the concept of pelvic floor vitality, Holly's insights promise a fresh perspective on maintaining and enhancing your body's support system.

    This discussion with Holly illuminates just how important it is to recognize and engage our pelvic muscles, and the transformative power this awareness can have on conditions like incontinence and pain during sex. We share personal experiences and professional insights, affirming that understanding your body's internal landscape is not just about fixing problems—it's about elevating your quality of life. We connect seemingly unrelated ailments to pelvic health, breaking down the complexities of the body’s interconnectedness and advocating for integrative healthcare approaches.
