<p><strong>Ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still not seeing results with your PCOS?</strong></p><br><p>In today’s episode, we’re revisiting a conversation with Dimity, a psychologist who, despite doing all the things—F45, spin classes, strict diets—still struggled with fatigue, weight gain, acne, and irregular cycles. </p><br><p>When she was diagnosed with both PCOS and endometriosis, she was told to simply lose weight and prepare for fertility struggles.</p><br><p>But here’s the twist—once Dimity started addressing <strong>the real root causes</strong> of her symptoms (hello, insulin resistance and stress!), everything changed. And when she saw just how much stress and sleep impacted her blood sugar—even when eating the exact same meals—she had a major lightbulb moment.</p><br><p>If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're on a never-ending rollercoaster of restrictions, this episode will open your eyes to a whole new approach.</p><br><p>Take the <a href="https://ovie.io/questionnaire/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=stressandinsulin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Ovie questionnaire </u></a>and figure out the best PCOS management plan for you.</p><br><p>Have you already completed the questionnaire?

<p>Have you ever felt <strong>terrified </strong>at <strong>the idea of eating more, </strong>even when deep down you know your body needs it? You're not alone. This fear is so common, especially if you’ve struggled with weight gain in the past or have been bombarded with conflicting advice about PCOS and restrictive eating.</p><br><p>Today, we’re revisiting a conversation between Clare and Emma, our Senior Nutritionist at The PCOS Nutritionist, as they share their personal journeys of breaking free from the restrict-repeat cycle. They open up about what it’s really like to <strong>rebuild trust with your body</strong>—and <strong>why eating more might actually be the missing piece</strong> in your PCOS journey.</p><br><p>If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of eating less, only to feel <strong>exhausted, anxious, and frustrated </strong>by your body’s response, this episode is for you.</p><br><p>Take the <a href="https://ovie.io/questionnaire/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=overcomingthefearofeatingmore" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Ovie questionnaire</u> </a>and figure out the best PCOS management plan for you.</p><br><p>Have you already completed the questionnaire?

<p>Today on <strong>PCOS Explained</strong>, we’re revisiting a fascinating conversation with my good friend <strong>Angela Heap</strong>, a leading fertility nutritionist, who shares groundbreaking research on how the <strong>microbial balance in the vagina and uterus</strong> could influence everything from conception to miscarriage risk.</p><br><p>We’ve all heard about the gut microbiome, but did you know that your <strong>vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in reproductive health?</strong> </p><br><p>Angela breaks down how <strong>specific bacteria help protect against infections, support implantation, and even impact pregnancy outcomes</strong>. She also explains why women with <strong>PCOS often have a disrupted vaginal microbiome</strong>, how this could contribute to fertility challenges, and what steps can be taken to restore balance.</p><br><p>We get into the latest testing options for assessing the vaginal microbiome, why <strong>misdiagnosed recurrent infections could be harming your fertility</strong>, and how a tailored approach—not a one-size-fits-all treatment—is key to restoring a healthy environment. Plus, Angela shares real-world case studies where microbiome interventions have led to successful pregnancies.</p><br><p>If you’ve struggled with <strong>recurrent thrush, bacterial vaginosis, unexplained infertility, or multiple miscarriages</strong>, this episode is a must-listen. We also discuss <strong>practical ways to improve your microbiome through nutrition, probiotics, and targeted treatments</strong>—without falling for ineffective, trendy “fixes” like vaginal cleansing products.</p><br><p>Take the <a href="https://ovie.io/questionnaire/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=i-wish-i-knew-this-at-the-start-of-my-pcos-journey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Ovie questionnaire </u></a>and figure out the best PCOS management plan for you.</p><br><p>Have you already completed the questionnaire?
