Love your food content! Also when my husband and I were in Manchester last weekend you inspired me to go for a run around the city. We loved it - such friendly runners there too. Love these videos and definitely making me love my running again! Thanks Holly!
I have to thank you. I have been following you for a while and I finally had the courage to work out at the gym today! It's been so intimidating bc there are so many gym Bros lol. (You girls know what I mean) But today I told myself to just focus on my goals and my own workout and that I have every right to be working out there too! You have been such an inspiration and I just want to say thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. 🩷 Ya! And if you ever venture out to Kentucky there are beautiful trails and lots to see, I'd be happy to show you around 🩷.
curious to hear more about the apple ultra. I think Garmin is the gold standard for running though- I love how I can program workouts, and how I can always see real-time data. I do prefer my Apple Watch for daily wear and the gym!
Girrrl I feel you with skin & scaring! I find I’m way too insecure to go without makeup but when I put it on, I think it makes it look more prominent! 😒 here’s to hoping it gets better! X
I absolutely love your videos. I’m a health and fitness coach and I barely watch any fitness accounts anymore (cause it’s just a lot when you do it yourself all day to also watch on TH-cam lol), but I LOVE watching your videos. I love watching your journey as you’re in LA now and I just love your energy and vibe!
I've just started using exfoliating gloves when cleansing and it's a game changer, not too harsh like using an exfoliating cleanser which I find drys the skin out too much. Also gave up make up brushes cause they just hold too much gunk even if they're regularly washed. Change pillow cases each week wash hair regularly because hair goes on our pillows and so do our faces. And any face cloths that get used to wash face get used once then chucked in the washing basket. As many makeup free days as possible are best and to make you feel better we actually can't see your skin imperfections very much so don't worry about it so much we're all human and we all go through similar experiences so we understand having off days about body image too. Much love. Love your videos.
Hi Holly, Thank you for your video! I am suffering from PCOS myself + Hypothyroid, and had experience with different types of activities, from running everyday to gym 12 years leading to bodybuilding competitions, to running half marathons + strength, and now back to the gym. Honestly, what Ive noticed is focusing on cardio always made my symptoms worse. I´d suffer from amenorrhea, my hunger levels are uncontrollable, bloating, digestive issues.. Thats why I started gym 12 years ago at the first place (I did not know about PCOS and thyroid issues back then). But feeling better, especially with insulin resistance, is really connected to muscle mass, and unfortunately cardio significantly reduces it. I am back at lifting 4-5 times a week for 3 months (up from 2-3 times during half marathon training) as we moved to Dubai and its hard to run here, but honestly, it made a huge difference, with a proper nutrition of course. I miss running, but I really don't miss PCOS symptoms :) I hope this comment helps others to try something new and maybe it will work for them too!
Retinoids really helped me with my acne. You’re younger than I am, but it never hurts to start. I use the Olay Retinol 24 Hour Max and I get it from target. It has completely cleared me! Just don’t forget sunscreen if you use it.
Great Video on the food in a day. Loved it. Great to see insight into your day and how the food fits. Looking forward to hearing about how the cycling goes and the Hyrox Training.
Hey Holly - I'd love to hear more about how you manage your diet for PCOS with a history of ED? I have PCOS and struggle so much with any kind of food rules or restrictions because of struggling so much growing up with restrictive eating/food rules. I'm sure a lot of women face this problem and I'd love to hear your advice 💖 love and hugs xoxo
As a doctor, Hazel wallace isn't a specialist as a doctor for PCOS/endemetriosis. She only worked a couple of years and doesn't even have a license to practice medicine anymore...
@@cj705 so she can give nutritional advice but she’s not allowed to give medical advice/pretend she’s still a practising doctor, especially on a public platform
Hello, so first of all I want to say I personally feel like this comment reads very negatively. I think you saying 'she only worked a couple of years' really discredits the fact that number one she studied for multiple years to qualify which is an extremely challenging thing to do and takes serious dedication. She did then practise and now runs a 1-1 clinic for women to help with their nutrition which I think can be extremely beneficial for girls following me! I personally think the content she creates is very inspiring and educational and it's helped me massively. Hence why I recommended her and still would.
@@hollyb_fitness I am a doctor so know the difference between getting the degree and then actual life experience as a doctor. Not discrediting her nutritional advice which i’m aware she did extra study into but I feel quite strongly re ‘medical influencers’, who don’t even work as doctors, especially compared to other doctors who have done further study into gynaecology to actually be a pcos/endometriosis specialist etc
@@gagglesas I obviously won’t argue with you as a doctor because you are clearly far more qualified than me and know better in the subject area! On a previous video I spoke about my experience with my diagnosis and how I saw a specialist for this and stressed how important that is. This was a recommendation for the girls to follow as like I mentioned I’ve found her content helpful!
Thank you sooo much for sharing!! Your type of pcos sounds extremely similar to mine so this is so useful for me and given me some meal ideas!! Thank you!! 🥰
I have an apple watch and use it for my runs but that ultra apple watch sounds awesome, I can't wait to hear how you like it!! And I'm just a stone's throw away in Hollywood if you need anything just holla!!! xoxo 🤗💖💕💕💕
Thank you for this vlog! So good understanding that we need to fuel ourselves. I run , but need to lift weights and I have a gym membership. I need a schedule/program . Do you know a good one ? Full body . Setting goals…
Sorry to hear you’re having a flare Holly 😞 as an aside I really enjoy these eating videos for some food inspiration & you talking about a good amount of calories is always really refreshing to hear from content creators so thank you!!! 🙏🏻 ps. Stop trying to intise me into moving to LA!!!!! 😂🫣
Sometimes the food contains chemical additives that are illegal overseas. Just make sure you are checking the labels because the change in chemicals could be with screwing you up
Holly thank you for your videos 🥰 If you ever get a chance please could you share your running warm up/mobility work routine more in depth? I'd like to try and introduce stuff to prevent injuries where possible. Thank you 💓
I‘d be curious to know if you‘ve ever tried Inositol or Medformin. They’re great to regulate my insulin resistance for pcos as they make me much less hangry and emotionally balanced. The estrogen & anti-testosterone birth control pill has also helped me a lot. And completely agree with you about the carbs, I did keto for half a year which basically „cured“ my pcos (i got periods regularly & felt emotionally balanced) however it‘s not a fun lifestyle so I won’t be doing that again
Have you tried Insoitol? I have Insulin resistant PCOS and have had to start a low-carb lifestyle and take insoitol and berberine to help with all the symptoms that I have which are exactly how your feeling.
I’m a Type 1 diabetic, and for blood sugar management for me insulin sensitivity is very important. When eating out, you will consume more fats, which in turn increases overall insulin resistance - so it’s not necessarily spikes, it’s more that your body will struggle to deal with the your sugar levels and they will end up being higher on the long term. But it depends, I’m not a dietitian, so can’t say. But I know that lower fat diets do support insulin sensitivity in the majority of cases. Again, not medical or nutritional advice here.
Thank you for your video. I am currently going through the diagnosis phase of finding out if I have PCOS, next for me is a downstairs ultrasound and I’m really nervous.
Hi, I have also have PCOS and just saw your comment - I just wanted to say please try not to be nervous about your ultrasound it seems scarier than it is. It is pain free, they may not tell you then if you have PCOS but when I had mine I got a good enough indication from the ultra sound technician, and it's better to know if you have it, as it helps you manage any symptoms you may experience due to it/ understand what may be better for you. It will be ok, I can assure you. :)
Thank you very much for your reply. I had my ultrasound and now it is confirmed that I do have PCOS. The ultrasound was mentally draining, it was almost an hour long.
@@navalgirl09 Glad to see you've had this now, sorry to see it was draining for you, and though it's not ideal to have PCOS, at least you have some answers now and are able to look to the best way to handle your symptoms. Holly gives some great advice and there are lots of really helpful videos out there.
Let us know what you think of the Apple Watch Ultra 😊 if you’re not going to use the pink Apple Watch, can I give you some $$ for it? Would be cool to run with a watch that you’ve ran with 😅
You made it crystal clear that you love endurance activities. That's awesome. Have you ever heard of a lady named Paula Newby-Fraser? She is known as the "Queen of Kona" in the Iron Man endurance community. During her career, she racked up 24 Ironman wins and eight Ironman World Championship wins. She was a beast and is often listed as one of the greatest female endurance athletes of all time. The reason I bring her up is not just because she's a female athlete with lots of success in the activities you are interested in, but also because she earned a majority of those wins while being on a very, very low-carb diet. She is a great example that you can have world-class endurance and energy without eating carbohydrates. In other words, you don't have to worry about having low energy if you cut out your carbohydrates. Having said that, you definitely will experience some amount of low energy during the first month as you are transitioning to the new diet. But after the sugar detox and transition period, your energy will be just fine. If you want to continue eating carbohydrates for other reasons, that's totally understandable. I am mainly just pointing out that very low carbohydrate diets can produce world-class energy levels. Peace and love. ✌🏼❤
Be careful with the oats. They are an anti nutrient and deplete your body of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc. I like to make egg bites, easy to heat up in the AM.
Jesus… where is the information… it’s a video about nothing… she just talks and talk… no points. Everything is in “another video”… she’s out of wafers…
Lately, the videos have more talk than the actual content. The videos are very nice, dont get me wrong. but it would be even better to make it a voice over while you are cooking or excersizing rather than a one on one.

Need to be careful with food in America as they are allowed to put a lot more chemicals that are not allowed in most countries. Check ingredients

Which lululemon top is the blue one ? Looking for one for the marathon x

I SO highly recommend all PCOS girls to start taking magnesium daily. It’s changed my life!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So interesting!!! Can I ask what changes you have noticed? And if you need a specific type of magnesium? Xx
What did you notice ?! X
What results did you find?

Already eating on the white sofa😂😂😂 Saw that coming🤣❤️
Holly are you still using the hormone cream you were prescribed by the online medical centre?xx
Hi Holly what garmin were you using before? And what are you using now? If you dont mind sharing please? Thank you
I think shes using the forerunner 265(s?) rn, it looks like the one i have
and before the 265 she used forerunner 255s music
I found the ultra too big for me and switched back to Garmin!! Such a shame but can’t beat Garmin for running
I am such a garmin girly will be interesting to see if it switches me over but agree it is quite chunky!
what app do you use to track your calories and progress?
Where do you live!?
That run looked beautiful😍
I don’t think the Apple Watch is very accurate in regard to the pace and distance. But I still use it for my runs
Hay Holly which Lululemon top are you wearing?
Let us know what you think of the Apple Watch Ultra 😊 if you’re not going to use the pink Apple Watch, can I give you some $$ for it? Would be cool to run with a watch that you’ve ran with 😅

Completely unrelated, but you look so much like Florence Pugh in this video!!
