3 months in review at The PCOS Newsletter
What we learnt about PCOS in the past months
Hello everyone,
We’ve had quite a busy Q1 (as the corporate girlies would say) at The PCOS Newsletter. I gave birth, we launched a new brand, we had amazing guests on The PCOS Podcast, and we grew the newsletter past 1500 of you.
The next three months will be even more exciting. Here are some things to look forward to:
An insightful conversation on the pill, HIIT workout and weight loss with Tara | PCOS Journal
A PCOS story with Kayla
A deep dive into intuitive eating with Julie Duffy Dillon
A story on egg freezing and the journey to fertility
A lot more to come, but in the meantime, let’s see what we were up to in the past months:
1. A Behavioural Scientist’s view on your goals - beyond motivation
We had the incredible Dr Rosie Webster, a behavioural scientist, give us the framework that will help you achieve your goals. If your 2026 start did not go as you expected, this is the time to review your goals and put in place the right way to tackle them.
2. Chromium in PCOS: who it helps (and who it won’t)
A deep dive research review of a popular PCOS supplement.
3. A Conversation on Heart Health and PCOS with a Cardiac Surgeon
There are a few conversation that suprises me in this space, but this was one of them. Women are twice as likely to die from a heart incident than man. The reason for it is not because there is something wrong with us, it’s because we ignore it. A must listen if you care about your heart health.
4. The 5 changes that made the biggest difference to my PCOS
This seems to have been a huge hit with all of you. I hope you find some ideas on how to approach your PCOS in these 5 things that have helped me the most.
5. Do women with PCOS have a slower metabolism?
A question that’s on a lot of our minds. This is an insightful conversation with Georgia Kohlhoff on her latest research paper that compared Resting Energy Expenditure of women with and without PCOS.
6. Happy Women’s Day
We celebrated Women’s Day on the 8th of March. In this article, I share the stories of my mum and grandmother. Two women who have taught me courage, self-respect and love.
7. My Pregnancy Experience
A raw story about my pregnancy. I go through the relationship with my body, my symptoms, thoughts on my career and my husband. I walk you through my worries about connecting with my baby and giving birth.
8. Who is Leya Health?
Introducing the latest brand: Leya Health. Here to empower women to deeply understand their bodies through honest science, curiosity and long-term thinking.
9. Understanding your PCOS through data
Finally, we had Kate, VP Medical from the Ultrahuman team, deep diving into how to track ovulation and your cycle when you have PCOS. With this insightful conversation comes 10% off the Ultrahuman rings with code “PCOS”.
I think these were incredible 3 months to start 2026 with, and I really hope at least one of these publications has brought you value. Please share the newsletter with anyone who has PCOS and follow us on Instagram.
See you next Sunday,
Franceasca
