Episode 239: PCOS Friendly Foods to Support Your Hormones Naturally
If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen staring at your fridge wondering what to eat for your hormones—or felt like every grocery trip ends in confusion—this episode is for you. You don’t need another restrictive meal plan or complicated recipe list. You need a pantry that works with your hormones, not against them.
Whether you’re managing PCOS, insulin resistance, or just want to balance blood sugar and feel better, this episode breaks down exactly what to stock so every meal supports your energy, mood, and metabolism.
In this episode I’m sharing:
The biggest PCOS myth about carbs (and why you shouldn’t cut them out completely)
How to build your plate for stable blood sugar and balanced hormones—without restriction
The best low-glycemic carbs to keep on hand: potatoes, berries, squashes, and resistant starches
My go-to protein staples that make hitting 30g per meal easy (and fast!)
The veggies and fibers that boost gut health and keep cravings under control
Why batch cooking beats traditional meal prep (and how to make it simple)
The mineral-rich foods that power your thyroid and adrenals
How to stock hormone-supportive snacks, from homemade protein balls to clean meat sticks
The seed cycling staples that help naturally regulate hormones and support ovulation
Hidden sugar traps in sauces and dressings (and how to swap them for clean versions)
Eating for your hormones isn’t about perfection,it’s about preparation. When your pantry is stocked with real, nourishing staples, every meal becomes a step toward better energy, balanced blood sugar, and thriving with PCOS, not fighting against it.
