I always wondered why I would wake up and feel like a stranger in my own body, why I had no energy, my skin was constantly breaking out, my hair brittle, suffering with insomnia and low mood. Most of us have gone through years of confusing and negative beliefs about our bodies as we’re taught so little about how our bodies work, what’s normal and what’s not I went years thinking it was normal that I didn’t have a period and that these symptoms were just part of being a women and having PCOS But your symptoms of hormone imbalance are vital messages, sometimes a warning system that’ll alert you when you’re not getting what you need for your body to support you as you would want Your body is not your enemy, it doesn’t hate you, it’s not a battle. We shouldn’t blame and ignore all these messages when they’ve been trying to warn us to pay attention to them. Our body needs our support from our lifestyle and everyday choices to enable it to support us Things I was doing back then that didn’t support my body and my hormones : - Eating around 1200-1500 calories, depriving my body of important nutrients and energy - Opting for low calorie and low fat foods with no nutritional value - Skipping meals which makes it harder to blood sugar balance - Having a daily set calorie limit which meant I was focused more on excluding foods than including foods for nourishment and gut health support - Weighing myself everyday in attempt to get to my lowest weight rather than focusing on how I feel - Not supporting my body with enough nutrients as I transitioned off birth control which made it harder for me to get my period back My priorities when it comes to my own health have really changed over the past years and with that my physical body has and will continue to change throughout my life. From a time where I I was driven only by aesthetics, I've never felt more confident and trusting in my body having a healthy cycle, supporting my body through my diet, daily movement and loving and accepting myself as I am now. Don't waste time hating on your body, support it 🫶🏼

Is there a specific type of blades that will help to stop hair from growing? I hate hair

Can a person have hirsutism even the tests shows normal testosterone levels? What’s the causes?

What you eat impacts your facial hair growth You can help slow and stop the growth by eating foods that encourage lower levels of androgens (aka male sex hormones) 📉 Foods high in zinc, lysine, and lycopene are superstars in this area! 🍅🍤🥩 Working on blood sugar balance by eating more protein/fiber and less carbs can also work wonders here

Elevated male sex hormones like testosterone can cause a huge range of symptoms in women with PCOS including hirsutism, acne, weight gain, irregular periods, and hair loss. Ain’t nooooobody got time to deal w this ish. How to fight back: 👊 1️⃣Zinc-containing foods like shrimp, chickpeas, hemp seeds, oysters, pumpkin seeds, and steak 2️⃣VITA-PCOS Androgen Blocker— my top blend for helping encourage less androgen excess symptoms 3️⃣Green tea- hot or iced babyyyy 4️⃣Weight loss, when warranted— but you 100% don’t need to deprive yourself or hate your life to accomplish healthy, sustainable weight loss 5️⃣— Deep breathing exercises, just 10 mins a day, can help get stress and testosterone in check

My hirsutism has gotten exponentially worse over the past 3 years. I can’t even look at myself anymore. On top of the hair growth, I have yet to lose any pregnancy weight from a year and a half ago. So here I am, 200lbs, hairy, depressed. I don’t want to leave the house and interact with anyone because I feel like a creature. I don’t take pictures because it ruins my entire day. I haven’t taken hardly any pictures of me and my son, I’m getting teary eyed just thinking about how ridiculous and selfish it is that I’m letting my insecurity rob us of having memories to look back on someday. My insecurities are winning and I want to get over them but I just feel so damn ugly.

Not sure how I was living before using laser hair removal, I have a machine at my house it's amazing

I have hair over my ear and I'm a girl, it's disgusting 😒
