Struggling to hit the gym with PCOS? You're not alone. The dance between exercise and PCOS is intricate, but I've discovered that movement is an essential rhythm in the music of a PCOS-friendly lifestyle. This episode is a deep dive into why those of us with insulin resistance can't afford to sit it out, and how the right kind of physical activity can be a powerful ally in regulating blood sugar and safeguarding our mental health. We all know that one size rarely fits all, and that's especially true when it comes to PCOS and exercise. Some of us need to slow down and breathe a little deeper, while others need to find that sweet spot of consistency in their workouts. This episode unpacks the myths and truths about cardio and strength training, and why a sustainable and enjoyable fitness routine trumps a rigid regimen every time.  It's all about balance, rest, and not letting your exercise ambitions steal precious sleep. I’ll share why any exercise is better than none and how to move from inactivity to activity without sacrificing joy or health.  Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showDid this podcast help you?

Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of binge eating and dieting, unsure how to break free and find peace with food? Today we are joined by Mikaela Schifferle from KJ Wellness and the Naked Wellness Podcast on her remarkable story of triumph over a troubled relationship with food and body image. Together, we dissect the tangled web of nutrition, satisfaction, and the nuances of eating mindfully. Michaela's expertise shines as we navigate the importance of protein, healthy fats, and fibrous vegetables, particularly for those managing insulin resistance. Her approach? A nourishing balance of foods that don't just fuel the body but also gratify the soul.Turning the page to a chapter many of us can relate to, we probe the sensitive intersection of body image and health, casting a spotlight on the unique struggles my clients with PCOS face. This conversation is a candid exploration of the deep-seated beliefs that often tether self-worth to our physical form, and how shifting these perceptions can lead to a more compassionate self-narrative. The strategies we share are designed to rewire the core beliefs about self-worth and prioritize comprehensive self-care, helping to redefine what health truly means and how it feels to embrace yourself fully.Mentioned in the Episode:Books-When Food is Love: https://amzn.to/3IUgzJGJust Eat It: https://amzn.to/3x85xxUConnect with Mikaela here-KJ Wellness: https://kjwellness.com.au/@kjwellness on instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kjwellnessNaked Wellness Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/naked-wellness/id1619248256 Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showDid this podcast help you?

Life can often feel like a tightrope walk, the delicate balance between health, self-care, and responsibilities teetering on the edge of overwhelming. When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, the lack of information and guidance pulled me into a spiral of health burnout. This podcast brings you along my personal journey, as I grappled with my diagnosis, found balance, learnt to build a healthy routine, and navigated lifestyle changes.What if you could find a new perspective, one that encourages you to shift from the weight loss fixation and acknowledge the complexities of PCOS? A crucial turning point for me was realizing that the information out there was far too narrow, focusing primarily on shedding pounds. I decided to return to school, gain more knowledge, and today, I share my wisdom with you. We explore the importance of balance in your diet, lifestyle and mind. I discuss the challenge of finding restaurants that cater to your needs, and the importance of building a repertoire of healthy meals. I also share the importance of mindset and celebrating small victories, as well as the role of reframing in transformative processes.But it's not all about what you eat, it's also about what you consume mentally. The information overload can often lead to health burnout. How then, do you sift through the noise, and unfollow accounts that do not resonate with you? This episode invites you to reflect, to understand the cyclical nature of engagement, and to prioritize self-care, especially for those with childhood trauma or perfectionism tendencies. We discuss my personal experiences with fitness and treating myself as a priority. Tune in and discover how to navigate the complexities of living with PCOS, the importance of self-care, and the power of a balanced life.

Do you really understand what your body is saying when it comes to hunger and satiety? It's more complex than you might think, especially if you're managing PCOS. We're breaking down leptin resistance, a hormone intricately linked to our satiety signals. If you've ever wondered why you still feel hungry even after eating a satisfying meal, leptin resistance might be the culprit. With insights into the biological and emotional factors contributing to this disconnect, we're unraveling the mysteries of our relationship with food.Intuitive eating sounds simple in theory, but for those with PCOS, it can be a minefield. Ever felt like your body is leading you astray, guiding you to consume copious amounts of sugar, starch, and fats? You're not alone. We're exploring the primal brain programming and potential genetic factors that make overeating feel inevitable for many with PCOS. Understanding these signals and influences can be the first step in regaining control over your food choices.In the quest to eat more mindfully, understanding leptin resistance is key. But how do you improve your sensitivity to these crucial satiety signals? We've got practical advice for you, from slowing down during meals to avoid overeating, to managing cravings and choosing foods that support your individual needs. This isn't about strict rules - it's about flexibility and developing a healthier relationship with food.  Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showDid this podcast help you?

You've likely heard the two conflicting sides of the gluten and dairy free debate for PCOS.  Each side is pretty entrenched and seems very certain!  Some people will tell you that going gluten and dairy free is totally unneccesary and even harmful, while others will tell you it absolutely changed their life!What's the real truth about this issue?  Today I'll talk about just that from the evidence based perspective of a functional nutritionist.  I'll talk about the reasons why this conversation seems so black and white online (and a little of the content creator perspective) and then I'll discuss the reasons why it might help or harm and help you figure out whether this is something you need to do for yourself. If you've ever been curious what the actual truth on this topic is, this is the podcast to listen to!
