I get it. I was diagnosed with PCOS in the summer of 2018 and I went home frustrated and confused. But also excited because I finally knew what was wrong with me and I felt like I could finally start healing with a specific plan since I knew what was wrong.
The problem was, the amount of information out there can be OVERWHELMING. So many articles, books, podcasts, websites, bloggers and more. I just wanted someone to tell me what to read, where to find it, and go from there.
So here it is. Your one-stop-shop for every trusted PCOS resource you need to make a game plan and start your healing process.

How I Reversed my PCOS Naturally:
I'm so happy to say that I've reversed a lot of my PCOS symptoms and can share exactly how I did it. I started getting regular, 28-day cycles for six months and we conceived our first child on the first try! I also managed, anxiety, acne, weight gain and more. Here's how!
- Started eating an anti-inflammatory diet and managed my blood sugar through diet
- Took a food sensitivity test (get 20% off!) to learn what specific foods caused inflammation for me
- Learned as much as I could about PCOS (hint: all of these resources!)
- Saw a functional NP who gave me a personalized plan based on bloodwork
- Started taking PCOS supplements
- Switched to a non-toxic skincare routine
- Watched my adrenals by doing less high-stress workout and switching from coffee to matcha
- Tried seed cycling for hormones and fertility (we conceived our daughter the first month I did this!)
This was all over a year-long process, so be patient and stick to it! You can heal!
