What this episode covers
In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I sit down with licensed electrologist and skin specialist Hannah Al-Raee to explore why true healing doesn’t begin with restriction—it begins with addition. Together, we dive into how focusing on nourishment, self-care, and supportive habits creates sustainable change, while fear-based subtraction often backfires. From nutrition and mindful eating to confidence-building skin treatments, this conversation will help you see health in a fresh, empowering way. Hannah shares stories from her practice working with women with PCOS, while I explain how my clients thrive by adding protein, veggies, rest, and breathing practices before even thinking about cutting things out. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of dieting, restriction, or shame, this episode offers a refreshing perspective: your healing is not about making yourself less—it’s about giving yourself more.
