Hormonally Yours with The Hormone Dietitian1 Helmi 2022

Managing Insulin Resistance & Healthy Pregnancies

One of the main reasons I created a podcast was not only to share information from myself and other healthcare practitioners… but also to share stories of hope and inspiration from people just like you. In this episode, I'm talking to an incredible member of The Hormone Dietitian community, Jenn N., about her story.

Jenn is a 38-year-old working mom of 2 living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area who has been diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance. She has struggled with fertility issues while trying to figure out how to live her life with PCOS. Jenn has struggled with maintaining healthy pregnancies, gestational diabetes, and has had difficulties managing breastfeeding with extremely high insulin levels. But with a lot of research and a little help from myself and some understanding doctors, Jenn is finally at a much healthier place in her life.

In this episode, Jenn shares her experiences with insulin-resistant PCOS and how she's found solutions for her symptoms.

This Week We Talk About:

How insulin resistance manifested in Jenn's daily life - her symptoms and struggles
Why Jenn first reached out to Melissa
What Jenn did to maintain healthy pregnancies
How she manages her insulin resistance now
The time-saving tips she has for busy mamas trying to do all the things
