I received a lot of questions about inositol for #pcos on my last ask my anything so I decided to create a video on this very important topic.

This video goes over the top 5 benefits of myo-inositol for PCOS. It also discusses metformin and the difference. I also go over commonly asked questions.

To watch the video head to my link in my bio and click on my YouTube channel.

I hope you enjoy it and can learn something new. If you have any questions at all please drop you comments ⬇️ below.

1 cup coconut milk 3 tbsp chia 2 tbsp hemp seeds

1 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp chia
2 tbsp hemp seeds
Toppings: sliced almonds, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, banana slices, walnuts chopped
1-2 scoop collagen powder (10-20g of protein)

Add milk to bowl.
Slowly add collagen powder and whisk to combine into milk.
Add chia and hemp to milk. Stir.
Let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes. 1 hour will give you a thicker consistency.
Top with nuts, seeds, fruit and enjoy!

This is a great way to get some healthy fats in and I love how easy it is to mix collagen powder into this cereal to get some protein in your breakfast.

One of my patients also said she adds pumpkin purée to her seed cereal and I can’t wait to try that!

“Women who experience bleeding in early pregnanc

“Women who experience bleeding in early pregnancy and have had at least one miscarriage should be treated with the hormone progesterone.”

This is not striking news to me but I am so so happy this has been now getting more attention. It is so important that we consider progesterone in cases where women have experienced a miscarriage. I’ve used it in many cases in my practice and have seen positive outcomes!

Finally we have some recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommending to insert progesterone suppositories vaginally twice a day.

If you’ve experienced a miscarriage please look into this AND/OR if you have a friend who has please send them this article. It could change the course of their pregnancy.

If you have any questions, please direct message me or comment below!

How have you been holding up after daylight saving

How have you been holding up after daylight savings time? ⁠
⁠
I know for me it has been a tough time change! I keep waking up at 5am or 6am. ⁠
⁠
If you are struggling with the time change or even just in general in terms of sleep here are some ideas on what you can do to help your sleep quality and quantity. ⁠
⁠
The one common thing I hear in practice is when it becomes the evening time people are getting wired but they are still tired. It's like having this burst of energy all of a sudden in the evening where their brains are on and maybe they are thinking, ruminating, planning etc. ⁠
⁠
This is your cortisol. Cortisol should decline at the end of the day so that melatonin can rise so that you can fall asleep. However, if cortisol is high, it prevents melatonin from rising. ⁠
⁠
You want to create a calm relaxing environment so that your nervous system can be relaxed so that melatonin can do it's thing. This will allow you to fall asleep and stay asleep longer without waking up in the night. ⁠
⁠
It's so important to get to bed at a reasonable time usually between 10-11pm depending on when you have to wake up in the morning. ⁠
⁠
What are some things that help you fall asleep? Comment below! And open to read what helps me!⁠

When it comes to naturally treating the body we ne

When it comes to naturally treating the body we need to give it time. ⁠
⁠
If you have been experiencing your symptoms for many many years the body needs to relearn how to kickstart these natural processes again by itself. ⁠
⁠
This can take time. ⁠
⁠
Naturopathic medicine takes time to see changes in some circumstances - and this is okay! It is really about providing a long-term solution that allows the body to heal instead of providing a short-term solution. ⁠
⁠
I often think about the birth control pill here. Even though the birth control pill is used in many circumstances, it is really just a short-term solution. Once coming off the birth control the symptoms usually return especially in PCOS. ⁠
⁠
Another circumstance is hair loss - it can take time for the body to shift its efforts to making hair since it is generally not its number one priority. The cycle of hair is also a long one so the body needs time. ⁠
⁠
It's kind of like planting a seed and checking it a few minutes later to see if the seed has budded. It's impossible, it takes weeks and lots of support - sunlight & water. ⁠
⁠
This is your reminder that it is okay if you are still in the healing process and your body is figuring out how to work again. ⁠
⁠

Years ago we barely had any information on how to treat PCOS....now there is so so much information out there, it can become overwhelming. ⁠
⁠
Eat gluten? Don't eat gluten? Dairy products are no good? Cut carbs completely? Eat carbs? HIIT training only? Yoga only? ⁠
⁠
Where do you start?? It's so hard to know. ⁠
⁠
Plus it feels like every single joy in life needs to be removed for you to feel even just slightly better. ⁠
⁠
Or you've tried everything and nothing seems to be working. ⁠
⁠
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is very complex to treat. That is because not all women with PCOS will experience the same symptoms. ⁠
⁠
From what I can tell you is that by working with a health care provider that treats PCOS often is your best bet. ⁠
⁠
Having PCOS myself, I need guidance too. It is impossible for me to treat myself. ⁠
⁠
I encourage you to find someone that can help you! And if you live in Ontario, Canada - DM me to see if we can work together or if I can help you find someone in your area. ⁠
⁠
Wishing you all the best ✌🏼⁠
