I reversed my PCOS symptoms is ~12 weeks! I followed an extremely strict diet that consistent of: low glycemic foods, high protein (min. 4oz of lean and clean animal protein per meal), no processed food, no seed oils, minimal sugar, and fruits and veggies with each meal. My skin was glowing, hair loss stopped, and I got pregnant after a year of trying!
@@elisandoval02 I worked with a nutritionist to create my own meal plan using the guidelines outlined above! Meal prepping became a priority for me and I dedicated one day a week to making sure I was set up for success. It was EXTREMELY hard at first, but I stuck with it and it became so much easier (and I actually enjoyed and wanted to stick with it!). Throughout the 12 weeks, I did a TON of my own research finding foods that were filling but also low glycemic. Here are a couple examples of what this looked like: Breakfast: Scrambled eggs (in avocado oil), slice of low glycemic Ezekiel 4:9 bread, half of an avocado, everything bagel seasoning, side of raspberries Lunch: 4oz of grilled chicken breast, mixed sautéed veggies (zucchini, bell pepper, red onion), black beans Dinner: 4oz of ground beef (cooked with ginger, garlic, siracha, and liquid aminos) with quinoa and cucumbers and carrots (veggies submerged in rice vinegar for ~3 hours pre-meal) Breakfast: Avocado toast on low glycemic Ezekiel 4:9 bread, everything bagel seasoning, hot sauce, side of blueberries, side of cashews Lunch: 4oz of grilled check breast, mixed organic greens, sliced granny smith apple, raw walnuts, with oil/vinegar dressing Dinner: 4oz of lean steak with side of broccoli and red beans Snack: apple with almond butter
@@elisandoval02 Yes I had a specific meal plan following the guidelines above! It was very hard at first, but became much easier as time went on. Meal prepping is a must. Here is an example of a day: Breakfast: slice of Ezekiel bread, scrambled eggs (in avocado oil), half an avocado, everything bagel seasoning, hot sauce, side of raspberries Lunch: 4oz of grilled chicken breast, grilled veggies (zucchini, red onion, bell pepper), red beans, small Halo mandarin Dinner: 4oz of ground beef (cooked in ginger, garlic, sirachaa, liquid aminos) in a bowl with quinoa, cucumbers, and carrots (veggies pre-soaked in rice vinegar ~3 hours prior to meal) Snack: apple with almond butter
Amazing testimony! I did very similar thing and got pregnant quick. I do 1lb of protein/lb of body weight & it’s helped a lot, specifically when I started making most of that animal protein.
Thank you so much for educating! I hate so much that doctor's word is supposed to be the end all be all, yet they know next to nothing about actual health, wellness, and how a body works aside from what they're taught in textbooks.
PCOS is simple → The longer you keep your insulin levels elevated, the more PCOS symptoms you'll develop. On the other hand, keeping your insulin levels normal and steady will reverse existing PCOS symptoms over time and prevent PCOS symptoms from developing. So, to reverse or prevent PCOS, just do things that keep your insulin levels normal and steady for long periods of time. Here is how to create elevated insulin levels and develop PCOS: 1) Maintain chronic stress. 2) Maintain limited and poor sleep. 3) Eat more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. So if you want to keep your insulin levels normal and steady in order to reverse or prevent PCOS, do the following things. 1) Do anything that reduces stress. → meditation, deep breathing, yoga, singing, dancing, praying, etc 2) Do anything that improves the length and quality of your sleep → Blue light filter glasses, Watching the sunset, avoiding snacking before bed, etc 3) Eat less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day.
@@m.e.sanders3215 You're welcome. Keep in mind that even if you fix your stress and your sleep, you can absolutely derail yourself by overeating the carbs. Just think about all the ladies in your life that you know who have some sort of female reproductive issue. Then think about whether or not they are eating a high carbohydrate diet. Anyway, if you have any questions or concerns, I'm happy to do my best to answer.
Eat less than 20 grams? Are you sure? That’s like super-keto. Usually ketogenic diet is around 50 g of carbs and that recommendation is more or less okay for men. Remember women are not little men and 20 g of carbs is extreme. I recommend you check out Lily Nichols and her newest book, she writes about reversing PCOS in there and she would never recommend 20g.
@@katarinakockova3341 Yes, I'm sure. Eating less than 20 grams of carbs per day is not extreme. Eating zero grams of carbs per day is not extreme. The reason it is not extreme is because the human body produces all of the carbohydrates it needs even if you don't eat any. The process of a human producing its own carbohydrates is called gluconeogenesis. If Lily Nichols did not mention this in her book, then I don't consider her someone worth listening to. There is a reason there is no such medical term as "essential carbohydrates". "Essential vitamins?" Yes. "Essential minerals?" Yes. "Essential amino acids (protiens)?" Yes. "Essential fatty acids (fats)?" Yes. "Essential carbohydrates?" No. Dietary carbohydrates are completely unnecessary for human health because humand can make their own carbohydrates out of proteins. This is why there is no such thing as "extreme" carbohydrate restriction → if you don't *_NEED_* dietary carbs in the first place, ristricting them isn't a big deal.
Agree but PCOS can’t be prevent, it’s thought to be genetic and environmental but there’s no established cause. Insulin resistance is just a driver of it 😊 I’ve reversed my bloodwork on 100g carbs daily + lost 60lbs. There’s info that carbs help progesterone (regarding ovulation) and the thyroid :)
Hi everybody. First: i love this video. Second: I have a question about the chaste tree. As the doctor says: progesteron can inhibit ovulation. But she also says that chaste tree helps to ovulate and increases progesteron levels. That sounds contradictory to me. Or do you have to take it on a specific time in your cycle? Can anyone help me with this. Thank you very much!

Is there a specific diet from a program that you followed?
