    How we're approaching New Year goals differently

    Each year when January comes about some may think that we need to create all these New Year's resolutions so that this year is going to be our best, only to run out of steam before January is even over (we've been there too).

    If you want to be curious and ask yourself the important questions that will make that long-term change, this is the podcast for you.

    P.S. If you want to grab a plan that does exactly that, our Ovie 2024 Focus Challenge is now live in Ovie. Sign up today to get access to the tools, resources and intention setting plan that will help you improve in the 4 areas of your life: connection, nourishment, movement and rest.

    Overcoming binge eating disorder & reducing stress: Moriah's PCOS experience

    Overcoming binge eating disorder & reducing stress: Moriah's PCOS experience

    Moriah describes herself as a 'stressaholic.' Working in a fast-paced, demanding job, she thought this was just part of her life and who she is. She had a tumultuous year with the writer strikes in 2023 and suddenly found herself with a lot of time to spare.

    Instead of worrying, she decided to put her time off to good use and signed up for our PCOS program. In the past, Moriah has struggled with binge eating disorder, making diets and calorie counting extremely triggering for her. However, after listening to one of our previous podcasts, she realized she was not alone, and our PCOS management program had that in mind.

    Throughout the program, Moriah made changes that didn't solely focus on weight loss but gave her the tools to manage things she had control over, such as stress management, sleep, joyful movement, and self-awareness. From that, weight loss started to happen.

    A huge thank you to Moriah for being so open and sharing your story with us. We hope that listening to Moriah's story shows you that you can overcome your PCOS issues and set goals not only for 2024 but for life.

    If you're looking to take control of your PCOS like Moriah did, take the Ovie questionnaire, find your drivers and start your journey today.

    Isabel's raw and real PCOS journey: From overcoming food obsession and missing periods to internal peace and pregnancy!

    Isabel's raw and real PCOS journey: From overcoming food obsession and missing periods to internal peace and pregnancy!

    Do you find yourself thinking about food all day long, believing it's just the norm? Isabel thought so too until she learned more about her PCOS.

    Isabel took part in our program to improve her relationship with food, manage her weight, and understand why all her exercising was pushing her in the wrong direction.

    She found inner peace through the program and felt so free after letting go of many things that had been taking over her life.

    *TW (miscarriage): After just a few months of the changes, Isabel started getting her regular periods, and shortly after, she became pregnant. However, it wasn't all that straightforward due to low progesterone levels during her first pregnancy.

    This in-depth conversation with Isabel about her pregnancy and breastfeeding experiences delves into the raw and real details that many people go through but don't talk about enough! We thank Isabel for being so open with us during this conversation and simply love her positive attitude and energy. We're taking notes on this one, and we hope you can take something from it too.

    *Trigger warning - please be aware this episode contains conversation about miscarriages.

    If you're looking to take control of your PCOS like Isabel did, take the Ovie questionnaire, find your drivers and start your journey today.

    Rachel's Story: 20+ years of trying to lose weight and it all came down to this one thing...

    Rachel's Story: 20+ years of trying to lose weight and it all came down to this one thing...

    If you've felt your PCOS symptoms spiralling out of control, and no matter what you do, you just can't seem to get a hold of them, or maybe you didn't even realise all of these things were related to PCOS, this is the podcast for you.

    Rachel took part in our PCOS management programme after trying multiple diets over 20+ years to control her weight gain and understand her limits with food. On top of that, she experienced extreme fatigue and sleepless nights from her insulin resistance and stress PCOS combination.

    Embracing the Ovie 80:20 method changed Rachel's life, and approaching her PCOS in a more holistic way helped her gain self-compassion and see results she had never seen before! Discovering her 'why' and picturing her long-term goal of wanting to be there for her kids, and not solely wanting to lose weight, meant she could stick with these lifestyle changes long-term and keep going up and up.

    It was a pleasure to chat with Rachel about her experience and how she now feels like her cheerful self. We can't wait to see how she continues to flourish.

    If you listened to Rachel's story and are thinking 'this is me,' try out the Ovie programme today, get the tools that you need specifically for your PCOS, and start your journey to better health and vitality.

    Take the Ovie questionnaire to find your PCOS drivers.

Thank you

I appreciate all of the info you being to educate us!!

Glad it exists but not enough info

I’m glad there’s a podcast like this, dedicated to pcos that doesn’t seem to endorse the pseudo-science that other similar podcasts do. But there also isn’t enough info in these podcasts. I haven’t really heard actual advice given, and it seems like they do that on purpose to tempt you to buy the protocol, which I find really predatory. The lack of ACTUAL details about this protocol online and in their own social media makes me think that it wouldn’t be any different than most of the reasonable advice given elsewhere for free (balance protein and slow-digesting carbs, exercise, and take well studied supplements like inositol).
