Ep. 33 - PCOS Explained: Lifestyle, Nutrition & Natural Solutions (Part 2)
Wed Jan 28 2026
This episode is Part 2 of our PCOS series and continues the conversation from the previous episode, PCOS Explained: Beyond the Diagnosis to Holistic Healing (Part 1).
In Part 1, we explored what PCOS really is and why the diagnosis alone does not give you the full picture. In this episode, we move into the practical side of healing and talk through how lifestyle, nutrition, stress, and targeted support can either worsen symptoms or help your body move toward balance.
PCOS is often labeled as a hormonal condition, but hormones are rarely the starting point. This conversation focuses on what is happening underneath the diagnosis and how to support your body at the root instead of chasing symptoms.
We cover:
Why PCOS is not the root cause, but a signal of deeper imbalancesHow insulin resistance drives high androgens, irregular cycles, acne and stubborn weight gainThe role chronic inflammation plays in worsening PCOS symptomsHow nutrient deficiencies impact hormone and blood sugar communicationWhy environmental toxins like mold, heavy metals and chemicals matter more than most people realizeHow eating “healthy” can still work against you if insulin and blood sugar are not supportedThe difference between reducing stress and building nervous system resilienceNutrition strategies that support insulin sensitivity and hormone balanceWhy strength training, sleep and cycle tracking are essential toolsStrategic supplementation commonly used to support PCOS, inflammation and ovulationSimple supportive practices like spearmint tea for androgen balanceA key takeaway from this episode:Hormones are responding to something deeper. When you stop treating PCOS as the problem and start listening to what your body is communicating, your healing approach changes completely.
Where to begin:Testing and assessing is always the first step. The Wellth Audit helps identify what is driving your symptoms, whether that is insulin resistance, inflammation, nutrient gaps, stress load or environmental factors, so you are no longer guessing.
This is about clarity, data and a personalized strategy that actually fits your life.
