An Amber a Day: The Functional PCOS Podcast

Text with your questions & comments for future episodes!

You've likely heard the two conflicting sides of the gluten and dairy free debate for PCOS. Each side is pretty entrenched and seems very certain! Some people will tell you that going gluten and dairy free is totally unneccesary and even harmful, while others will tell you it absolutely changed their life!
What's the real truth about this issue? Today I'll talk about just that from the evidence based perspective of a functional nutritionist. I'll talk about the reasons why this conversation seems so black and white online (and a little of the content creator perspective) and then I'll discuss the reasons why it might help or harm and help you figure out whether this is something you need to do for yourself.
If you've ever been curious what the actual truth on this topic is, this is the podcast to listen to!

In this podcast I interview Nancy Flater of Nancy Flater Fitness, my actual personal trainer and the one I refer clients to. Nancy has worked in fitness since the 80's and has seen it all- from Jazzercise to Zumba to Strength training, Nancy discusses them all and why her current approach is the best yet.
We discuss how strength training improves body composition and makes weight loss efforts easier and more effective as well as personal results from ourselves and clients. We also talk about how easy it can be- 30 minutes once or twice a week!
Additionally, we discuss many of the myths about exercise and what we tell our clients.
To contact Nancy Flater Fitness, text or call 210-875-3853 or find her on facebook here.

Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of binge eating and dieting, unsure how to break free and find peace with food? Today we are joined by Mikaela Schifferle from KJ Wellness and the Naked Wellness Podcast on her remarkable story of triumph over a troubled relationship with food and body image. Together, we dissect the tangled web of nutrition, satisfaction, and the nuances of eating mindfully. Michaela's expertise shines as we navigate the importance of protein, healthy fats, and fibrous vegetables, particularly for those managing insulin resistance. Her approach? A nourishing balance of foods that don't just fuel the body but also gratify the soul.
Turning the page to a chapter many of us can relate to, we probe the sensitive intersection of body image and health, casting a spotlight on the unique struggles my clients with PCOS face. This conversation is a candid exploration of the deep-seated beliefs that often tether self-worth to our physical form, and how shifting these perceptions can lead to a more compassionate self-narrative. The strategies we share are designed to rewire the core beliefs about self-worth and prioritize comprehensive self-care, helping to redefine what health truly means and how it feels to embrace yourself fully.
