Vitamin D3/K2
Pcos tea - myinositol and d chiro inositol; 4:1 ratio

Low intensity exercise - body weight; low impact strength training

Switching simple carbs to complex carbs

This is what I’ll be doing most likely - NAC and glutamine are supposed to be good together

So many women are mislead by diet/fitness culture and medical professionals themselves. Thank you for spreading awareness on women’s health with your story and extensive research.
You’ve shared some of the most valuable words of advice which already has and most definitely will change so many women’s lives ❤

I can relate to the feeling of being tired after a HIIT workout and she actually has a point doing exercises that makes you feel good afterwards should be the priority.

2 weeks before my wedding I gained 10 pounds. Seemingly in a blink of an eye, and I didn't understand what was happening. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and in total have gained over 70 pounds in a year. It has been the hardest thing I have ever been through and I have felt so alone and scared. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me hope that a natural way is possible and maybe one day soon I can also experience the healing you've talked about.

A tip, from my nutritionist, that is a good indication of a slow metabolism is whether or not you feel hungry within an hour of waking up. If you don’t feel hunger, that’s a sign of slow metabolism, which essentially means that your body has developed an unhealthy relationship with eating due to underrating or dieting. This was the issue for me and once I started eating more, I found that I was waking up hungry and I actually lost weight in the first two weeks or so! After my metabolism was better, then I would eat in a calorie deficit just like mentioned in the video! Every 3 weeks or so, I would go back to eating more at my maintenance level for about a week before going make to a deficit. This kept my metabolism happy.

Just FYI - All of our hormones are regulated by our circadian rhythm. Exercise and diet fall under the circadian rhythm umbrella. When the CR is broken then you are living in a constant state of jet lag and your stress hormones will be dysregulated. This is the true root cause of disease.

Not to overshare but seriously, as a new mom whose body image issues and PCOS were incredibly exasperated after the pregnancy, this video made me cry. I’m struggling severely with an ED and this video may be a turning point for me in my recovery. You are a f*cking angel of a human for providing free information, and letting us know you don’t want our money and time wasted. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I subscribed immediately and would love to hear more of your general thoughts about life on this channel because you are so intelligent and so refreshingly down-to-earth.

[elyssiamiano]

Thank you SO MUCH for talking about this and making this video. Having PCOS myself, this is EXACTLY what I did to fix all my symptoms, and not just mask it. Without fail, everything you listed is what I did in the past year and I can confirm all of it absolutely works. So glad you made this videos so that more women like us know how to care for ourselves and not be mislead by the healthcare system :)

[RLLUMB]

I could listen to you all day, you have a relaxing calming energy.

[Abc-dtrv]

Thanks for being so honest and genuine. It’s rare

[christinebuzzo]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. As a woman with PCOS this content is invaluable, especially to women like us whose struggles and concerns have often been dismissed as paranoias. There is an incredible lack of information around the diet and lifestyle for people with this condition, despite its high frequency. Thank your for taking the time to share your struggles and carefully lay out your solutions <3

I teared up watching this video. All my life I didn't know what was wrong w/ me and why couldn't I lose weight or exercise consistently or do "effective" and hard workouts like the others. I just got to know a few weeks back about my hypothyroidism and now, I'm taking Thyroxine every day. I feel much better and do not feel guilty anymore doing lighter workouts to lose weight and build muscle. Everything made sense when I understood the problem and it helped me not blame myself anymore. Do what your body likes-! (:

[harliecolo]

Omg, the long wait is over! I prefer watching on Youtube because it’s more detailed and you explain everything without limits on time. I appreciate your effort in doing this video for all of us especially who have the same diagnosis as myself. Keep it up, Mila 🙌 more videos to come 💖

[clarissaorozco]

thank you for this, im restarting my journey and i needed to hear this. being gentle is so important <3

[JustAnAliii]

Thank you for your video! I’m starting to move again to help me manage my PCOS. No changes in diet but I added exercise. I started with 15-45mins of indoor walking. After a month, I tried to switch to a light weight strength training. I feel so tired and not properly doing the exercise correctly. I now know that my body eases on the slower and controlled movements.

I went through a similar thing after moving to Germany. I've always had a smaller frame, so I did not feel like myself at all after gaining weight. Once I started de-stressing, the weight DROPPED off without any effort. I also went from an intense lifting schedule, to backpacking in europe, to school in Germany and didn't have a period for 6 months. My body was basically screaming for help. It's crazy how much the mental affects the physical. You are beautiful by the way!

[solenasu]

Mila, I want to thank you so much for taking the time and effort to be on Youtube! I love your Instagram and TikTok content but it's SO nice to see even more of you here without the time constraints.

You have inspired me tremendously over the past few months to restructure the way I eat, workout, and approach supplements. I am seeing a tremendous improvement in how I feel throughout the day and how my inflammation has reduced by being more mindful of how I move my body and what I consume. I am still hoping to lose some of the weight I have gained, but I used to think that my health actually depended on the number I saw on the scale and how my stomach looked, but thanks to you I now have more patience with myself and my body and have realized that health with PCOS is a journey not just a simple destination.

Thank you for being so brave and real with us about your experience with PCOS and being there for us in times when nobody believed in our symptoms.

Much love <3

This is such an important video. I have been diagnosed with hypo at 12yr and I wish I could have heard to the advice in this video earlier on. Instead I had traditional medicine putting emphasis in only two things: "if you stay on your medication you can live normally, just make sure to watch your weight at all times". Needless to say, that led to feeling miserable for more than a decade, falling ill with eds, having to deal with the constant fatigue and chronic pain, while having no one to talk to. I genuinely hope people starting their journey find this video and are able to feel less alone.

[maddyr]

Absolutely agree with the point about High intensity workouts. I used to workout for almost 1 hr every single day but saw little to no difference in my PCOD symptoms (even though I lost 12kg it didn't improve my prolonged periods).
Only when I started low intensity workouts like walking 10km & yoga I saw difference in my energy levels & my PCOD. To my shock within 2mths of practicing yoga my prolonged periods became normal (like my period lasted like 7 days at max).
But yes, I definetly think consistency & no matter what moving your body is extremely important to improve PCOD.

[shaynamayy]

This video was highly informational and I appreciate all of your insight, it’s seriously so kind taking the time to not only film this but give us a FREE guide. It’s unbelievably hard to get this kind of clear direction from a “professional” so it gets pretty sad not feeling like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel dealing with these kind of things. Your calmness, fluency, knowledge and your obvious beauty practically made me immediately subscribe
Thank you!
