1.high protein brunch with fats and fiber 2. Eat gluten-free (helps with inflammation) 3. Don't eat dairy 4. Manage stress and emotions (meditation) 5. Enough sleep every night 6. Low intensity workouts (long walks) not HIIT :) 7. Acupuncture. 8. Do your research.

Eating omega 3’s stopped cysts from forming. I never got them before and then recently I had 3, I starting back to drinking fruit spinach smoothies with chia seeds, sometimes flax, and I eat salmon more often. The cysts went away in a week once I drank my blueberry banana spinach chia smoothie. I hear omega 3’a are also a key to stopping and preventing them. I hope this helps anyone.

I don't have PCOS but my chronic illness can be managed with lifestyle changes and your story really inspires me to make those changes because they can really help

Thank you for sharing!! I’ve been on the journey of researching and figuring out how to balance my hormone levels as Physicians don’t tell you this stuff! Have to be your own advocate. So grateful for this platform. Learning a lot

I have been suffering from PCOS since I was 15 years old. Yeah, it's insane, the irregular periods, excessive hair growth and all the symptoms that go with it started at my youngest age. I couldn't keep up with hard diets and things got worse and worse over time. Then in my 20s, I decided to fight back and find a healthy way to prepare all my favorite meals and created a correct lifestyle that helped me reverse my pcos and insulin resistance. The key is a cozy healthy lifestyle, low intensity workout, never combine carbs with protein in a meal, high protein breakfast (no carbs), cut out sugar and reduce your gluten and carb intake. Now that I am 30 years old, I decided to create a KZfaq channel and share my healthy lifestyle with women who struggle like I always have. I hope you will enjoy my recipes. I wish you all a cozy and healthy life ❤

Loving this series. Even though I don't suffer from PCOS it's good for me to still be knowledgeable because I'm a woman who supports all women

Thank you so much for this video - it’s so good to see a fellow South African Muslim be so open and honest about the reality of what some of us girls have to go through and give advice based on it. Female health issues and miscarriage are just swept under the rug usually and I only realised how much I needed to hear other peoples’ advice and experiences until it happened to me. This helps SO much and I truly appreciate you putting it out there. Can’t wait to see more content ❤️ Lots of love!

Love the video and thank you for sharing! I've had pcos for 7 years now and I've learned more from you and the pages you shared over the last few months, than I ever knew before :) really appreciate being part of a cysterhood now

Very helpful Aqeelah. I have been curious to find natural ways to treat my PCOS so I have followed your journey closely via Insta and now have my first session scheduled with your Chinese doctor for next month. Thank you so very much

I just restarted my journey like, Friday, so this is timely. The isolation/ experiences of last year threw me quite far off track. My first step is giving up sugar/processed sugar/ foods. I've had other illnesses/ surgeries in the past and have been GF and vegan, but I didn't stick with it and my pain was manageable for a long time, until it wasn't. As a vegan baker I'm trying to rethink my entire approach. I don't know if I can go fully GF again, but getting back to a higher percentage of GF would be good. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic video, very helpful to help the women we love in our lives!

You give me hope, I’ve been struggling with symptoms you’ve mentioned and am currently in the research phase of PCOS and looking into ways I can help aid my body into recovery! You are glowing in this video and I know I’ll be there with you when I become consistent and have discipline! Love and light your way

It’s about 13-15 years since I have last seen my period and I’m only 35 years. I was so ashamed of it, that to this day I haven't told anyone because of the fear of being discriminated against. I am so happy that women suffering from the same thing are speaking out. I am in a much better space mentally, finally being able to put a name to the condition that I’ve been suffering with silently and knowing that I am not alone. Now, I can finally start to process healing my PCOS.

These are some of the foods I've used to cure my Pcos naturally: - Tumeric and cinnamon (1 teaspoon of each in a glass of water on an empty stomach every morning) this help reduce inflammation and regulated insulin. - Eliminated Soya as it throws hormones totally off balance - Moringa powder - Wheatgrass powder - Ashwagandha powder - Triphala powder These were all prescribed by my ayuverdic practicioner and are all natural. All these items can be found at Dischem and/or local spice shops. Good luck on your journey ❤️

Best video on PCOS....I found on KZfaq, very easy and quick understanding.

Yes I love this video first video I actually watched all the way thru I really loved you in this followed very quickly would love to see more

Thank you so much for the video!!! So informative!! Will try these things and I’m glad they worked for you 👌

So happy I finally found a South African KZfaqr with the same condition as me. Love the video and definitely going to following this advice and your account

Having a more whole foods plant based diet has helped me a lot. I do still have some processed food but I am trying to eat more whole plants and cut excess oil to stop blocking those insulin receptors with fat. I have even had one period where I didn't even know it had started. Usually I get symptoms at least a week before like severe depression and I get excruciating pain. Also having more sources of chromium and inositol in the diet is excellent. Like whole grains, legumes, broccoli, oranges, cantaloupe etc. I totally agree about the exercise. A gentle stroll, non intense yoga or just working in the garden are the only activities that have ever felt good for my body!

Ah, girl, these are FANTASTIC words of advice! I relate with you on so many levels! The interesting thing is I started practicing these habits to try holistically heal my acne and gut health- the beautiful thing is the body is a system and hence incorporation of the habits is great for all facets of our health. Had no idea about acupuncture and high intensity- I'll defos take these into consideration. P.s I have recently started on hemp ( fantastic plant protein source and great for the gut because of its high fibre content and alkalizing effects😊) . Sooo much love from Pretoria!XXOxxo

I am experiencing this challenge! Thank you for the tips! I will try better diet., managing stress, and speaking more openly about my emotions! I am already gluten free and starting accupuncture this week!

You have found perfect points, as I have also seen these points for myself. Thanks. We are in the same boat.

I love these tips you gave! Gluten and dairy can absolutely cause a lot of issues with our bodies but especially with PCOS.

I did all of this for almost 2 years. And last week I found out that my PCOS is as good as gone! I have to keep up the diet and lifestyle to maintain this, which is fine as it is my lifestyle now and I love it! I love the foods, the hiking, the meditation, the peace, all of it 💗

Great vid. ♥️ Please do a what i eat in a day, or typical foods/meals you consume on a "PCOS friendly diet".

Half way thru this video & you’ve already helped me so much!

Some of the best advice i have heard.

Wow it's pretty shocking that I've been dealing with PCOS for over 20 years and you are the 1st person to ever tell me that gluten disrupts my hormones! I just started seeing a new naturalpath a few months ago and she had me do whole 30 and get off gluten and dairy and it has made such a difference for me.

This was very helpful! Thank You for sharing :)

Thank you for sharing this info with us 💌

Thank you so much for this valuable information. I have small cysts on my body that have been around for a long time and have been trying to figure out how to get rid of them.

I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!..

What a fantastic video thank you! I was diagnosed 6 years ago. 5 years ago I cut meat and diary out of my diet and my period was regular like clockwork after my teens and early 20’s of irregular periods. I want to the gluten free and I work out and my weight is manageable. I still have cysts on my ovaries but overall my condition doesn’t affect my day to day or my cycles as much anymore. Acne was out of control but a good skin care routine of natural ingredients helped too!

Thank u for this video, extremely helpful

Enjoyed this video! I was also diagnosed with PCOS in december 2020 and loved the information you've shared in this video! Currently gluten and dairy free and it's been a bit tough these past 3 weeks. Would love it if you could share some pcos friendly workouts!

Thank you so much for your insight.

Thanks for the information. I am loving your top. Where did you get it?

Thank you for all info, you reminds me my sister in law exactly same way she talk and even sound like you, she is also South African.

Good tips! I've been doing keto diet to manage my PCOS, actually it's a lifestyle already, it really makes my symptoms go away, especially thick facial hair...

Thank you so much for this video & tips. I’ve had PCOS since I was 18 but recently had an ultrasound done that showed my right ovary is 4x bigger than it used to be with multiple cysts.

Thank u. Love the advice. Fellow cyster

I appreciate your sharing your journey !! I was diagnosed when I was 28 and my body kinda went downhill as I was told (birth control and lose weight was my only option) as if it was “sooo easy to do” subsequently there my mental health went to shit when I couldn’t lose the weight. However making small consistent changes has helped me tremendously. (And I have been following your recommendations for a while) I have a few suggestions 1. I would love if you could share , where to buy GF AND DF items ( especially like DF butter , AND DF cream and yoghurt) it would be so helpful to hear if from a SA perspective because other Channels refer to USA brands which can’t be found here. 2. Another aspect I think 💭 would be helpful is talking budget and how initially it’s expensive to switch over to that lifestyle. Especially if u live an fast paced , processed lifestyle. 3, I would also like to see a what I eat in a day (pcos friendly ) in a vlog style (with quick and easy tutorials within the video) . 4. I think a nice series would be, trying all GF AND DF desserts from every province you visit .. (when you are traveling for work) 4. A beginner slow weighted work out series , would be awesome to show viewers, what You actually mean ( we don’t expect a tutorial , but some basics would be appreciated, because we trust you) Thank you for opening this platform , and educating us about PCOS!! It’s not an easy journey and we can do with the support. Love your content. You were made for KZfaq.

Currently dealing with yet another cyst giving me pain on my ovary, and so sick of the doc just telling me to keep using BC. Thank you for this video. Helping me feel optimistic today

Cook with me kind of PCOS friendly foods would be really helpful :)

Thanks for sharing this information with us

I'm about to start acupuncture, but I also have to add using a vibration plate, for lymphatic drainage and I listen to the I-Doser binary beats for peace of mind/meditation and sleeping!🌹🌞❤️‍🔥🖖🏾🎈🙏🏾

P.s the level of glow and chicness you're giving us is wild 🙌🦄🧚‍♀️♥️

Very good video, very inspiring. I've been suffering from uterine myomas from 2019. I'm doing my research and trying to get better with supplements and lifestyle changes.

God bless , will implement some of these

Thank you for the video very informative. But wow your shirt ....stunning

spearmint tea. dry spearmint leaves. bring to a boil. steep. cover for few minutes. drink warm as possible. twice a day

Body movement is important (yoga)And make sure you drink lots of water and you shouldn’t have constipation

all of this is happening to me and no one understand me all i get is negativity i would like to talk to u in private this have been a big help i will tray this proses.

This happened to me when I was 15 my cysts suddenly disappeared. Now at the age of 28 before I started IVF they counted 60! Luckily no big ones. Been a struggle my ivf didn't work due to have internal bleeding and an infection after it. But before I started IVF I got pregnant first time ever, took 5 years...funny enough was around the time I was meant to originally start IVF. Unfortunately had a miscarriage on my birthday. Was really devastated. I remember at the start of my fertility journey, I started drinking mint tea. Now I know they say to drink spearmint tea but I couldn't find any on its own without other Ingredients. So I started drinking the pukka 3 mint tea, twice a day, and I started having monthly periods. As soon as I stopped my cycle started becoming irregular. I've started drinking it again, I've started excerising more, haven't had dairy for at least 6 months and recent change I've cut out bread and a few others. Eating more greens. I've started using meditation again...I feel mentally better than what I was before constantly thinking about getting pregnant. What I do struggle with is finding foods that I like to eat without having bread, dairy etc in it. It's hard to find recipes well simple ones anyways without needing loads and loads of ingredients.

Wow! I am very impressed, especially about the gluten. When I eat gluten, I bleed vaginally and it is very scary. Ive had two biopsy’s and Thank God everything was okay. I also stopped the dairy and I am feeling much better; no bleeding. My doctor didn’t sound convinced that my bleeding was caused from eating gluten. When I see women eating pizza, I cringe; they do not realize what damage is being done to their hormones. Thank you for this video. I have to show this to my gynecologist.

Take dry spearmint leaves and boil to make tea. Strain and steep covered for about 5 minutes. Drink twice a day. Got rid of my pcos. Must continue to drink everyday

Loved this video⚘ are you on any supplements for pcos. Metformin? Inositols? Would love to know. 3 years ago my gynae gave me metformin.

Hi. I have pcos and endometriosis for the past 10yrs now. Any advice on how to deal with the pain and suffering. I tried almost everything and still no relief. TIA

I have pcos with long periods.this has effect my daily life so much.I have lost so much blood I had to get a blood transfusion🥺 I just pray I get better

I posted a recipe when I first started my channel. I remember my friend was the first one who introduced it to me and told me all her cyst went away in 1 week, she pretty much saw them come out through her period as clots. Ginger Lemon 1 clove garlic Carrots 1 tbs apple cider vinegar Juice these and drink 1 cup everyday. Try to eliminating processed foods from your diet. Drop the chicken and red meat Use natural stuff that doesn’t have high estrogen. No more diary or eggs 🥚

I have pcod and have lost my hair qnd become bald from crown area. What should I do?

Great video !

Ngl the only thing I liked about having PCOS is not having to go through my periods every month, but I've been getting more into my health now and its worth getting those periods again.

What kind of collagen do you use

Please tell me about make re this acupuncture.. Which part of the body this need to apply for healing PCOS.

Another thing - once it gets dark our bodies naturally get insulin resistance because our melatonin levels that rise cause this- we are not meant to eat after dark or at least 4 hours before bed .

Maybe what you eat in a day

I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15. The things that bother me the most are my absent periods and facial hair. I am currently 90% dairy free but not gluten free, I don't eat meat and only occasionally fish, so I feel stressed about what I can eat and what I'll have to cut out, it feels very daunting to me. And any online pcos diets I see include meat. I also enjoy boxing even though, I haven't done it for a while it has been part of my life from young. And I enjoy running, it helps me mentally and allows me to have my own space and time, this year I also signed up to do a half marathon but now I'm feeling like it may have been a bad idea. Do I really have to just stop doing these things? Does anyone have any diet suggestions for someone who doesn't eat meat and only eats fish occasionally? It honestly gets me down when I think about it sometimes.

Stress management and getting enough sleep is the hardest one for me! As I am a healthcare worker and doing shift work, it exacerbates my symptoms even if I am maintaining my pcos in other ways 😢

is dairy free the same as lactose free?

I also have pcos. I hate taking meds. I’m always looking for something where I don’t have to take meds.

I legit began crying watching this video so. I wrote a msg to my family attaching ur video and it helped them finally understand what I have been going through so I didn't get the impression that they thought I was this fat lazy women who had excuse after excuse to not run or go to gym etc, when my Dr said because ur exertion is high ur putting in weight and u can't do zumba right now I could not stop crying so I wanted to thank you so much for your time and effort to creating this video it made my family understand and support

how to acupuncture. pls share the details

Hey so my problem is that I have a huge passion for dancing, I dance five days a week for usually 2-3 hours. It really makes me feel happy and good, so is there a way to keep doing this sport (even though it’s cardio, muscles, concentration, coordination and streching at the same time and therefore maybe spikes stresshormones)?😅

I See a Chinchilla Pussycat!..It Looks Like One! ThankU 4 This Imfor!..Much Appreciated!

I have been keto for a year and have noticed a great improvement as far as pcos symptoms.. thanks for the cheese heads up... I will try to cut this down lol(I'm a cheese lover). Also I do need to meditate more.

im 13yo and I have PCOS have 3 months the doctors just gave me anti-inflammatory now im going to see a doc again with my mother 🙂

Hey love. Thank you so much for the video. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 and I’m now 22. My period is completely absent and has been for years. How long did it take for your period to be regular after changing your lifestyle? ❤️

Did you take any herb 🌿 supplements?

How can I cure my pigmentation that come due to pcos and balanced my hormones can you help me

Hi can you tell me how was your condition right now

I completely cut sugar ..

Thank you! :)

Can i use hot water bag on stomach for pcod

Would you mind saying exactly how often you have gluten and dairy? I do well most of the time but am finding 100 percent if the time not possible. If I knew how often was working for you it would give me a guidepost to experiment with.

What type of green smoothies and or high protein meals can you give me ideas

where is ur top from

Thank you

My sister had pcos she did Hijama(Cupping) it became better

Thank you. How long after stopping the pill did you get your period ? Did you have to go GF and DF completely before getting it ? I have been diagnosed with PCOS 8 years ago and I stopped the pill last month and started gluten free last year and very minimal with dairy so don’t really need to give it up because I hardly do it. This month was technically my first month I was suppose to get my period on my own which I obviously didn’t get. So I’d just like to know if there like a few months before my body actually starts to get periods or do I have to do extra things to actually make this happen besides GF and DF ?!

I can’t wait to do acupuncture 😩😭😭😭

My blood sugar drops and I faint Then I have to consume some soft drink And I know sugar is bad for me. What should I do?

Got diagnosed with pcos at 28 and I refused virth control for personal reasons so I was put on Metformin. I was shocked by how well it worked. My symptoms disappeared the first month and the weight is just falling off. I generally was health conscious and did periodic keto and permanent IF. I wish more doctors would prescribe Metformin

Yes

Helpful

I went Keto

Thank You For This Video!!! Omg

I have pcos and it has wrecked havoc my body, all symptoms and no children! I can’t do it, many surgeries, diseases and falling apart!!!! Don’t know what to do? Cravings!

Can medical pills cure PCOS ?because I’m under medical treatment and I do a research that says medical pills don’t treat PCOS and I’m struggling with it .

How had having ovarian cysts affected your fertility. I have PCOS and I’m worried that I will never be able to get pregnant. How had that journey been for you?
