Progress over perfection: Emily’s journey managing PCOS

In this episode, Clare sits down with Emily Malcom, one of our amazing Ovie community members, to chat about her journey with PCOS. Emily shares her story, starting from her early puberty when she faced challenges like acne, irregular periods, and unwanted hair growth. She opens up about how these issues impacted not just her health but also her mental wellbeing.


After years on the contraceptive pill, Emily decided it was time for a change. Inspired by insights from previous podcast episodes, she took the leap to come off hormonal contraception and dive into some big lifestyle changes. Emily talks about what that transition was really like and how she found a more sustainable way to live—focusing on flexibility with food and embracing progress over perfection.

She also dives into the tough realities of dealing with insulin resistance, the stigma that comes with it, and the personalised dietary changes that have worked for her.


Join us for this conversation as Emily shares her journey, the ups and downs, and the empowering steps she’s taken to create a healthier, happier life.
