I recently did a kundalini yoga class - this type of yoga is yoga for awareness. It is a really amazing type of yoga, if you haven't tried it. I highly recommend it! ⁠
. ⁠
Anyways, in the class, the teacher said something to me that really resonated with me. She said lead with your heart and let your brain follow. ⁠
. ⁠
This image basically sums up what she was trying to say. ⁠
. ⁠
Often times we let our brains lead. The more aware you become of your body the easier it becomes to lead with your heart. That is where meditation comes in and where breathing exercises help. ⁠
. ⁠
Drop a heart in the comments if you are ready to lead with your 💗this weekend. #happyfriday⁠

Most of us know that insulin is one of the most important hormones in our bodies. Whenever we eat foods that are high in glucose, insulin's binds to a cell's receptor site, allowing glucose into the cell to be used for energy or stored as fat.⁠
⁠
When we experience insulin resistance, however, insulin and glucose don't actually make their way into our cells properly. This results in higher amounts of both floating around in our blood stream.⁠
⁠
This can cause weight gain and inflammation, along with fatigue and increased hunger. In PCOS, high insulin levels can increase testosterone. This can manifest in irregular periods, cystic acne, and excess hair growth.⁠
⁠
Fortunately, there are several supplements that can help to improve insulin resistance. Check out my latest article on the @whitelotustoronto blog page to learn all about three popular supplements for insulin resistance, and how they work.⁠

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." - Wayne Dyer ⁠
. ⁠
This quote really resonates with me. It can be very easy to see things in a negative light, and often times it takes constant commitment to change the way you view things in life. With every negative thought, choose again. Choose to change the way you see things. ⁠

🏋🏽‍♀️🏋🏽‍♀️Exercise and #PCOS 🏋🏽‍♀️🏋🏽‍♀️⁠
. ⁠
Seems like everyone is talking about #exercising in January. It is a perfect month to kick start a new work out routine!! ⁠
.⁠
Exercise is extremely important for any condition. With #pcos, exercise is especially important as it is a metabolic condition. ⁠
. ⁠
Exercise helps to manage insulin resistance and can help to reduce inflammation. It can be huge at improving your overall health. ⁠
. ⁠
🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️The question I always get is, what kind of exercise should I be doing? ⁠
. ⁠
Well - if you are overweight and trying to lose weight. High-intensity interval training and cardio can be very important. ⁠
. ⁠
If you are are on the leaner side, consider doing more weight training and less cardio. ⁠
. ⁠
If you suffer from adrenal fatigue or feel exhausted after your work out, try toning it back and decreasing the intensity. The goal isn't to burn out, this can impact your adrenal glands where we produce cortisol, our stress hormone. ⁠
. ⁠
Consider adding in a weekly yoga session - such as yin yoga, restorative yoga or hatha yoga. These focus more on breathing and relaxation. ⁠
. ⁠
Exercise as we know can help to boost your mood, confidence and overall health. ⁠
.⁠
Even just 75 minutes of exercise a week can be beneficial. This information comes from Dr. Fiona's book - 8 steps to reverse your PCOS. . ⁠
Start with one small goal - 15 minutes for 2 days and work your way up! ⁠
