Think PCOS only affects women who are overweight or have irregular periods? Think again. In this episode I sit down with Aoibheann for one of the most honest and relatable PCOS conversations I've had on this podcast. Aoibheann doesn't fit the typical PCOS stereotype - she's not overweight, her cycles are relatively regular - but she has been battling difficult skin and the kind of hanger that turns you into a completely different person. We talk about what it's like to live with PCOS symptoms that get dismissed because you don't look the part, how blood sugar dysregulation affects your mood and energy in ways you never expected and why understanding your PCOS is the first step to actually feeling like yourself again. If you've ever been told you can't have PCOS because you're slim or your periods are regular - this one is for you. 🎙 Topics covered: Lean PCOS and why it's so often missed How insulin resistance affects skin, mood and energy The PCOS hanger demon 😈 Why Aoibheann finally got answers and what changed for her And if you would like to work with me book  a PCOS Clarity call to see if its the right fit for you   

Aishling worked with me as a 1:1 PCOS coaching client.

In this episode I'm getting personal. As many of you know I have PCOS and I'm currently supporting my cycle to be the healthiest possible to get pregnant in the future. After getting my peak plus 7 progesterone results back recently I wanted to share exactly what I'm doing naturally to support my luteal phase and improve my progesterone levels. Because this isn't just my journey - this is something so many women with PCOS are silently navigating and not getting enough support with. In this episode I cover: What progesterone actually is and why it matters so much for your cycle, fertility and overall hormonal health Why low progesterone is so common with PCOS and what's actually driving it How ovulation quality directly impacts your progesterone and what to do about it The evidence based nutrients and supplements that support progesterone production Why chronic stress is quietly sabotaging your luteal phase and what I'm personally doing about it The lifestyle changes I've made and why they matter more than most people realise This is one of the most honest and personal episodes I've recorded and I hope it gives you something practical to take away wherever you are in your PCOS journey.   If you would like 1:1 support on your onw PCOS journey apply to work with me here
