Welcome back to the Down to Earth PCOS Nutrition Podcast. I'm a huge believer in planning.

Planning is one of the key behaviors to master for success with PCOS. If you're tired of getting a short-term fix and want to cultivate sustainable long-term habits, then planning is absolutely essential.

In my course, there is a module dedicated to just planning. My clients often walk away becoming better planners, feeling more confident in their newly built intentional habit of planning, being able to see the plan with clarity and see the results reflect in managing their PCOS in a healthy sustainable way.

Today you will get to hear some of my client's true stories of how planning has helped them create healthier habits to manage their PCOS. If you're that person that is very busy and often gets fast food as a quick bite whenever you can find a minute, then you'll want to hear Sam's story and the actionable steps she took to overcome an unhealthy cycle with food in the mist of her busy life, and take control of her health to take the steps forward to attain her goals.

2. The 5 benefits of becoming a better planner
3. Learn planning strategies to implement into your own life
4. Why planning elevates your success to managing PCOS and get you healthier
5. How planning creates long-term sustainability

Welcome back to the Down to Earth PCOS Nutrition Podcast. You may have heard about the glycemic index (GI) and you're not sure if you should be paying attention to it to improve your PCOS. In today's episode, I'm clarifying for you and providing answers to the questions you may have on whether you should or shouldn't be paying attention to the glycemic index.

First, I break down for you, what the glycemic index is and how it correlates to your blood sugar levels.

Secondly, I talk to you about how blood sugar levels affect insulin, and how that affects PCOS.

Next, I discuss the issues with the glycemic index and what I recommend that you should be doing instead.

But, I also tell you about what some of the scientifically proven benefits are.

You will learn what I find the three main issues and flaws are with the scientific studies and why it's not a down-to-earth approach.

However, there are certain situations where it can be helpful and I tell you all about what that specific special circumstance is.
