Episode 28: Everything You Need To Know About PCOS with Nicola Miethke

Missing or irregular periods, excessive hair growth, weight changes, and acne. Those are just a few common symptoms of PCOS – a common condition present in 12–21% of women of reproductive age.
A diagnosis of PCOS can be overwhelming and a lot of the clients I see are not aware of what lifestyle changes to make to improve their symptoms, body image, and mood.
To give you all the evidence-based advice on PCOS I’m teaming up with naturopath and nutritionisht Nicola Miethka.
Having been diagnosed with PCOS in her early twenties and has since overcome its complications. Nicola is incredibly passionate about educating and empowering women to understand and appreciate the immense strength and capability of the female body.
In today’s episode Nicola and I are going to be talking all things PCOS including:
- How to get proper PCOS diagnosis
- The impact of PCOS on physical health, mental health, and fertility
- How you can manage PCOS through lifestyle interventions
- How much and what kind of exercise is best for PCOS
- What types of foods should we eat or avoid with PCOS
- Is there any one diet that greatly improves symptoms of PCOS
As always this podcast is intended for information purposes only and should not replace individualised medical care.
