You’re Not Broken. Your Body Is Not Failing You.
I know what it feels like to believe your body is broken.
To feel like no matter what you do, nothing works. To wonder if maybe this is just how you are—if maybe you’ll always struggle with your weight, your cravings, your hormones, your exhaustion. If maybe it’s just your genetics, or your metabolism, or some other mystery no doctor seems to care enough to figure out.
I know what it feels like to blame yourself—to think that if you just had more willpower, if you just tried harder, if you could just eat a little less and move a little more, then maybe you’d finally feel in control.
I’ve been there.
I’ve sat in a doctor’s office, desperate for answers, only to be handed a pamphlet on “eating less and exercising more.” I’ve felt the frustration of doing everything I was taught, everything that was “supposed” to work, and only getting worse. I’ve felt the exhaustion of trying, failing, and trying again—over and over—until the hope starts to fade.
And maybe, like so many women with PCOS, you’ve felt that heartbreak in the deepest way possible.
Maybe you’ve tried to get pregnant, only to be told “just lose some weight” as if that’s the magic answer. Maybe you’ve had miscarriage after miscarriage, wondering what’s wrong with your body, feeling like it’s betraying you, grieving something that no one around you seems to understand.
But here’s what I wish someone had told me back then:
Your body is not broken. It’s not failing you. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do—it’s just reacting to the signals it’s being given.
Your hunger? Your cravings? Your weight gain? Your fatigue? They’re not because you’re weak. They’re not because you don’t have enough willpower.
They’re because your body is fighting to keep you alive the best way it knows how.
It’s responding to the hormones that tell it when to store fat, when to burn it, when to make you hungry, when to make you tired. And the truth is, for most of us with PCOS and insulin resistance, those hormones are completely out of balance—not because of anything we did wrong, but because we were never taught what actually drives them.
This is not your fault.
But here’s the good news: it is within your power to change.
You don’t have to fight against your body anymore. You don’t have to starve, or suffer, or live in a constant battle with food and your weight. You don’t have to accept infertility as your fate. When you understand what your body actually needs—what truly fuels it, nourishes it, and brings it back into balance—you stop feeling like you’re fighting an uphill battle.
For the first time in my life, I stopped feeling like I had to “control” my body. Instead, I supported it. And in return, my body did exactly what it was designed to do—it healed.
That’s the freedom I want for you.
If you’re reading this and you feel hopeless, please hear me:
You are not broken. You do not have to stay stuck. Your body is waiting for the right signals, and once you start giving them, everything changes.
It won’t happen overnight. It takes time. But every single step you take to lower insulin, to nourish your body, to break free from the cycle—you are rewriting your story.
And one day, not too far from now, you’re going to look back and realize…
