Hidden Ingredients No One Is Talking About: What Labels Aren’t Telling You
2026/02/03
#294: If you have PCOS and feel like you’re “doing everything right” but still struggling with hunger, cravings, or weight…this episode is for you.
Women are often taught that their bodies are the problem, so when something doesn’t work, we blame ourselves. But what if the issue isn’t willpower… it’s the formulation?
In this episode, we break down what food labels don’t tell you, and why PCOS women are especially vulnerable to certain “health” foods and marketing claims.
We cover:
- How foods are engineered for the bliss point and why PCOS appetite signaling makes this harder
- The truth about “natural flavors” and how labels can sound clean without being supportive
- Why “sugar-free” doesn’t always mean blood-sugar-friendly for insulin-resistant bodies
- How low-fat foods can worsen hunger and blood sugar swings (plus a real coaching call example with a simple fix)
This isn’t about restriction or cutting out everything you enjoy. It’s about understanding why your body responds the way it does, so you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that actually support PCOS hormones and metabolism.

Do less: Micro habits for maximum results in 2026
2026/01/20
#293: In this episode, we’re talking about the micro habits that actually matter for PCOS in 2026… not more rules, not more restriction, and definitely not more overwhelm.
If you’re already eating gluten-free and dairy-free, walking, lifting, doing Pilates, and still seeing weight fluctuations, fatigue, anxiety, or burnout… this episode is for you. The missing piece for many women with PCOS isn’t another habit; it’s nervous system and cortisol regulation.
I break down small, realistic micro habits that quietly have a massive impact on hormones, cravings, stress, and consistency.
These habits aren’t flashy. They won’t go viral.
But they’re the exact foundation women with PCOS need in 2026 to lose weight sustainably, feel calmer, and stop fighting their bodies.

I Stopped Working Out So Hard & Lost 50 Pounds with PCOS
2026/01/06
#292: What if everything you've been told about weight loss with PCOS is wrong? Taylor believed harder workouts would finally help her lose weight after years of struggling with PCOS, irregular periods, and fibromyalgia. Instead, the high-intensity training was keeping her stuck.
In this episode, she shares how discovering the cortisol-PCOS connection changed everything, and why switching to weighted, low-stress training helped her lose 50 pounds in under two years. This is the conversation every woman with PCOS needs to hear about hormone balance, adrenal fatigue, and sustainable weight loss.

A beginner's Guide to PCOS Meal Prepping
2025/12/23
#291: Feeling overwhelmed by meal prep? This episode breaks down exactly how to get started with PCOS-friendly meal prepping, without the stress or spending hours in the kitchen.
Why meal prepping matters for PCOS: Your body is extra sensitive to blood sugar swings and inflammatory foods. Skipping meals or under-eating spikes cortisol, which worsens insulin resistance, inflammation, and cravings. Meal prep eliminates decision fatigue and reduces the daily stress that impacts your hormones.
What PCOS meal prepping looks like: Low-effort, repeatable recipes that you actually want to eat—gluten-free, dairy-free, low sugar, high protein meals following the PCOS plate method.
Beginner tips: Start small with just 1–2 recipes per week (like prepping only breakfast) and choose simple, quick recipes.
Ready to take meal prep to the next level? Our 4-Week Meal & Workout Plan Kit (https://pcosweightloss.org/course-enrollment/) launches January 1st! Get done-for-you meal plans, workout routines, our PCOS protein powder, a lab kit to track your progress, and so much more. Everything you need to transform your PCOS in one complete system.

What PCOS Women Need to Know About NAD with Dr. Andrew Salzman
2025/10/07
#286: My doctor first recommended NAD to me as I was preparing my body for pregnancy.

We discuss:
- What NAD is and why levels decline as we age

- The connection between NAD, PCOS, and metabolic health
