Listen to this Podcast:
Why PCOS/PMOS diets backfire.
Many women with PMOS (formerly PCOS) are eating clean and working out and still dealing with bloating, fatigue, breakouts, and weight that won't move, while a friend on the same plan loses 10 pounds. The reason is usually insulin resistance, which shows up in most women with PMOS, lean women included, and changes how the body handles every meal.
We dive deeper into this in Her Time, Her Health with registered dietitian Courtney Minors. We also chat about how to build a breakfast that prevents the afternoon crash, what GLP-1 medications can and can't do for PMOS, and the research behind myo-inositol, vitamin D, and spearmint tea.
Courtney Minors is a registered dietitian and PCOS/PMOS specialist. She specializes in nutrition for hormone-related gynecological conditions, including PCOS/PMOS, endometriosis, and fibroids, with a focus on insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut health.
