November in review
Hello December!
Hello everyone,
I can’t believe we are saying bye to November and entering December. This year went by relatively fast, but it has been filled with self-discovery.
My life learning this month:
Living from a place of abudance. The more open you are to opportunities, the more the universe will show you the way. I am quite spiritual but over the past year I was too stuck in my ways. This month I opened myself to embrace a more uncertain future with the faith that they way will be shown to me. Maybe pregnancy forces you to let go of control.
Small announcement
Eva Okunieff from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA, is writing her undergraduate thesis on the experience of women with PCOS, after she was herself diagnosed with COVID. She would love to conduct interviews with some of the lovely people subscribed to The PCOS Newsletter. If you are interested, send her a quick email at evaokunieff@brandeis.edu. The more research we have, the better we understand this condition, and better treatments will emerge.
November in review
We were busy doing some supplement reviews and listening to some great stories this month:
1. Tara’s view on PCOS mindset
We started the month strong by sharing her most important mindset shifts women with PCOS need to go through to manage this condition
2. Hair loss and hair thinning
We deep dived into why women with PCOS might experience hair loss and what causes it, including the nutritional deficiencies and genetic components
3. Vitamin D with K2
Should you take Vitamin D with K2, or just by itself?
4. Magnesium
Magnesium is another popular supplement, but what type does what? We review six different magnesium types.
5. Caroline’s fertility journey
Learn from Caroline’s 10-year fertility journey. There is a lot to gain from listening to this episode, as Caroline shares what led to her figuring out a 3.5-year struggle to conceive her first child and how she approached conceiving her second.
As we step into December, we will discuss a new research paper that was published last month, and we will touch on the holiday season and slow down to enjoy the holidays.
I hope you find the newsletter useful and look forward to your next one.
See you Sunday,
Francesca
