What helped your PCOS the most?
Low intensity exercises + weight lifting.
I got pregnant two times, naturally.
I have used inositol for a month now and my back acne is almost completely gone. Just dark spots left! I'm excited to see results after I take it longer. I know I need to also change my diet. Working on that too.
I'm thankful for your compassion and kindness throughout my treatment journey. Your expertise has made a significant difference in my health, and I'm grateful!
Great video, thanks so much Kait ❣️
Can a woman in menopause still have PCOS?
I wish I had this information years ago 😢
I was diagnosed with PCOS in my 20’s. My periods were always irregular. I did not do well on metformin as my allergies were severe. I was able to have one biological child after having multiple miscarriages. When I lifted weights I tend to eat better.
Hi Kait!
I’ve been following the Carnivore diet for nearly three months now, and I’m feeling amazing. After years of being on and off vegan, I ended up with hormonal imbalances, leading to PCOS and other health issues.
Could you share if Maca Root, iodine, and Myo-inositol are safe to take while on a Carnivore diet?
I’m very satisfied with this way of eating and plan to continue long-term, but I’ll be consulting a specialist soon to see what they recommend as well.
Also, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and spreading the truth! Your videos have been such a blessing to me!
❤
I have PCOS and it was diagnosed by chance due to blood tests that detected higher testosterone levels. I was unknowingly managing it quite well by eating a low carb diet. Metformin seems to have other benefits to prevent cancer and other diseases. I’m considering taking it again.
My dr saw that mine were high and didnt diagnose me with it
Thank you Kait ' I hope you have a great week.
Hi Kait, I’ve never been diagnosed for Pcos however I have chin hair and just excessive body hair. I follow a one meal a day diet and a low carb keto diet. I still tend to grow hair on my chin. I’m on the mirena IUD that doesn’t give me a period. Is there by chance a way my birth control could be effecting my hormones? I have high levels of testosterone and am over the excessive body hair. Thank you!
Hormonal contraceptives (including the mirena) mask symptoms of PCOS. The whole point of them is that they change hormones. The fact that they mask symptoms is what makes them problematic. The Excess hair alone does not automatically mean PCOS. Of course some people just grow more hair than others. Mirena should be decreasing testosterone though so if it is still high then that is a red flag.
@@HealthCoachKait Thank you so much!
Your Videos are so helpful! Thank you ❤
Hey Coach Kait! So I’m currently insulin resistant. I am naturally an active person who loves to workout, be outdoors, and lift weights. However, due to IR (as a result of taking a certain medication I was taking for a while) I’m fatigued and I’ve gained 45 lbs. I started eating keto recently, but I’m feeling a bit weak physically. I’m worried I may have switched to the other extreme in terms of diet. And I’m wondering, would it be possible to see a difference if I were to simply eat less carbs and sugars and more proteins and fats in general (more like just keeping an eye out/being intentional) rather than specifically targeting
So, the only thing I was ever prescribed was Metformin. I think 750mg. I have trouble swallowing pills, but they also made me sick. Stopped taking them shortly after starting. Is berberine hard to get down, and does it make someone sick? I really need to do something. I think I have E.O.E as well. The doctors we have in town don't care about PCOS. I feel so inflamed. I need some kind of relief and bust through this weight plateau as well.
Can you do a “what I eat in a day” for this?
Check out my video from last week called insulin resistance meal plan!

🙂 great video
Can you have PCOS and not have high testosterone? Also forgive me if im uniformed. If men who transition to women can take hormones and get rid of hairy areas on their body can the same not be done for those of us with Hirsutism? My obgyn basically just recommened traditional hair removal options.
Do you have any other hormone out of wack? You are probably just hairy and can do laser?Is your doctor an endocrinologist? I would advise to go to an endocrinologist.
Your care and support have meant a lot to me. Thank you, Dr. Okouromi, for helping me navigate my PCOS journey..
They do not ship your recommendations to,Australia 😕
Do you have any idea why inositol caused major gut disturbances for me? I had gotten to a very good spot with my gut health before starting taking it (it was the only new thing added) and it absolutely wrecked me. All the bloating and severe constipation returned. It took months after I stopped taking it for my body to re-regulate. Any ideas why that would have happened? I only found a handful of other people who experienced similar issues.
Question, so with pcos I know you said constantly eating/snacking keeps our insulin high but I also want to improve my metabolism which they said I should be eating every few hours . Soo how should I go about that ? Is more so about the type of snacks to have throughout the day ?
Eating frequently doesn’t increase your metabolism. Not restricting calories does. I did a video on this a few weeks ago
th-cam.com/video/I0PJo06Vubs/w-d-xo.html
Can i have pcos and still have my periods on time? Im very regular but i wonder if i have pcos. 36 yr mom of 4.
Yes if you have the other two main symptoms
More one time,Kait with good informations

Can inositol be taken with spiro?
Every time we wanted a child, my wife would go on a protein diet.
Cysts would disappear, and she would get pregnant within 6 weeks!
How do you gain weight with pcos (as someone who struggles to gain weight but needs to) if you have to limit carbs and avoid snacking? Not much people talk about this because most of the people with PCOS have it the other way around and are advised to lose weight.
Do not gain weight i was like you and now i can’t lose it 😂 just eat healthy
Hi Thank you your channel is very resourceful and informative. I have a question. From the time I get up in the morning my blood sugar is around 120 md/ dl when I start to work it goes up on its own up to 134 mg/ dl. I fast everyday from 10:00 PM until 6:00 PM i eliminated cards and sugar when I eat after 3 hpurs my blood sugar drops down to between 95 to 115 mg/ dl. I have been in this cycle for 4 months. And never saw my blood sugar getting better. My A1C is 6.4%. And what should I do ?
Do you have a measurement of your A1C before you changed your diet?
In other words, do you know if your A1C is changing or do you just have this one A1C data point?
Also, it's just as important, if not more important to track your insulin levels than it is to track blood sugar levels.
I highly recommend checking your insulin levels every 90 days (if you have the money).
■ Fasting insulin test
The goal is to get your insulin below 5 uIU/mL
Another good test is the ADIPO-IR test.
It calculates your level of insulin resistance.
It can detect insulin resistance before most other tests.
Also, blood sugar levels are always high in the morning.
It is a natural way your body boosts energy to wake up and get going.
If you have a stressful job, that might explain why your blood sugar levels go up when you go to work.
Stress can trigger cortisol which automatically raises blood sugar levels.
In other words, your body is trying to give you the energy you need to deal with the stressful situation.
Can you provide a couple of examples of everything you eat in a day?
Are you on any medications?
Higher blood sugar in the morning is not uncommon, its called dawn phenomenon and it happens due to the body releasing cortisol to wake you up which causes a raise i blood glucose. However, it should not be as high as 120 and your blood glucose seems to be in the borderline diabetic range throughout the day. Fasting for 8 hours might not be enough, try 16:8 or even longer (the longer, the better). Are you eating low carb/keto? Do you exercise regularly, as in lifting weights and doing HIIT? Are you reducing your overall stress levels? All of these are important factors when it comes to blood sugar levels, but you also might need medication like metformin to get your levels in check.
I managed to get my blood sugar baseline from 95-100 md/dl down to the higher 80's range by doing OMAD for a few weeks and fasting 18-20 hours per day, cutting out sugars and lowering carbs down to 50gr per day. I exercise 4-5 times a week (a mix of resistance training and HIIT cardio with TH-cam videos) Now I switch between 16:8 fasting and OMAD and I feel SO much better No more blood sugar crashes after eating even with higher carb meals, more energy, better skin, mood...And it just took a few tweaks in my lifestyle!
Can pcos be prevented?
Yes!
Together with Inositol I think that Berberine may be helpful
Could you make a video with a few ideas on what meals we could make to hit that 40ish grams of protein? I try to do this myself but only have a few boring options and would love more ideas! The rest is easy if I’m getting my enough fat and protein but on days I don’t, everything goes to shit lol
I did a video on this last week with meal examples 🥰 th-cam.com/video/RqxTQvDswcA/w-d-xo.html
@@HealthCoachKait thank you!!! ☺️
Dr. Okouromi, your expertise in PCOS treatment has improved my quality of life. Thank you for being an exceptional healthcare provider. ❤❤
Nice, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.
