#33: PCOS Diagnosis And How To Reconnect With Your Body

Kirsten talks with Lori about her personal experience with PCOS. She created a platform to help those who are dealing with PCOS; to reconnect with their bodies and food through intuitive eating. Kristen says, “Everyday is a day to build trust with your body.” Although those who experience symptoms of PCOS often feel as though the body has betrayed them; she offers an alternative perspective and encouragement through body positivity. 

• How do I know I have PCOS?

  Assessing symptoms such as irregular periods. 

  Periods and cycles are vital signs of health in your body.

• Spikes in blood sugar and insulin resistance?

  It’s like a sunburn inside your body. Swelling and achiness. Your body is fighting what it thinks to be an infection. It's all about maintaining balance with your food choices.

• How do you manage a healthy relationship with food?

  Get rid of labels on your food, and figure out why you have a bad relationship with food. Where did your ideas around food come from? You then have to rediscover food in a new way without any labels. Discover what you like about certain foods. Build your own perspective on these foods versus what the world tells you about these foods.
