If I was diagnosed with PCOS today, these are the 5 things I’d start immediately… Because the advice to “just lose weight” isn’t enough when you don’t understand what’s actually driving your symptoms. 1. 🍳 Prioritise protein at every meal Aim for 25 to 30g per meal to support blood sugar, reduce cravings and improve insulin sensitivity. 2. 🏋🏽‍♀️ Start strength training Building muscle helps your body use glucose more effectively, which is especially important as around 70 to 90% of women with PCOS have some degree of insulin resistance. 3. 🚶🏽‍♀️ Walk every day Even a 10 to 15 minute walk after meals can help improve blood sugar control and support hormone health. 4. 💊 Add inositol One of the most researched supplements for PCOS. It may help improve insulin sensitivity, support ovulation and regulate cycles in some women. Always check with your healthcare professional before starting any supplement. 5. 🥑 Focus on whole, anti inflammatory foods You don’t need to cut out everything you love. Start by adding more fibre, healthy fats and colourful fruit and veg to every day. PCOS isn’t something you “fix” overnight. But when you understand what’s happening inside your body, everything starts to make a lot more sense.
