Episode 196: The PCOS Basics: What Actually Helped Me Balance My Hormones
Thu Jan 29 2026
In this episode, Kristina shares what actually helped her manage PCOS in a sustainable and supportive way, after years of feeling stuck in cycles of restriction, overtraining, and doing more without seeing results. She explains why PCOS is not a willpower problem, but rather a signal that the body is responding to stress, inflammation, and blood sugar dysregulation.
Kristina walks through the foundational shifts that made the biggest difference for her, including prioritizing high-fiber, anti-inflammatory nutrition, regulating blood sugar, calming the nervous system, and using supplementation to support the foundation rather than replace it. She also discusses why chronic dieting and excessive intensity often backfire with PCOS, and how strategic calorie and carb cycling helped her body feel safer and more responsive.
This episode is for anyone with PCOS who feels like they are doing everything right but still not seeing progress. Kristina reminds listeners that when stress is reduced and the right signals are in place, sustainable change and transformation become possible!
