🎙️ Episode 69 - PCOS and Performance ft. @trainwith.millie

In this episode of The MindSets Podcast, Angus sits down with Millie Newey (@trainwith.millie), a female lifestyle and lifting coach living with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), to dive deep into how hormones, training, and performance truly connect.

From insulin resistance to energy regulation, recovery, and strength, we break down what it means to train and perform at a high level while managing PCOS, with Millie sharing her personal experience, coaching insights, and practical advice for female athletes and lifters.

This week, we talk about:
