✨ Sunday Shift & Movement Week of August 2
Happy Sunday shift day! 🌟 1) The goal is showing up. It's not the magnitude of the goal. 🌟 2) You are fantastically amazing. And you deserve to show up for yourself. This is a safe place to do it, in a way that breaks free from all-or-nothing thinking. ✨ This week, you lead you. My goal for this community is to inspire you to trust yourself again, and to be conscientious about the external sources you lean on. There's a time and place for outside guidance, learning the mechanics, the technicalities. But when it's a hundred percent delegated to that external, I see it fail people time and time again. I want you to trust yourself as the caster of your own life: to troubleshoot, to develop discernment and critical thinking, and to lean on your own good judgment for your next move. That's what the Sunday Shift is, an invitation to practice exactly that, every week. That's why we use the Good, Better, Best framework. We already plan for life to happen. Good is your hardest week version, and I mean it, if you wouldn't do it on your absolute hardest week ever, take it down a notch. Better is your average week. Best is your stretch goal when everything aligns. All the same flavor, just different levels. 🔎 This week's lens: Movement. Here's what it could look like, modeled for you: Good: Put on your shoes and step outside after dinner. Better: Take a walk around the block. Best: Walk for 15 minutes. Feel free to copy this, tweak it to be true for you, and post it as your own... or set something completely different. You know yourself best. 🔎 Not sure where to start? Try the Sunday Shift Prompt (it walks you through it in under 5 minutes): https://shiftpmos.com/sunday-shift-prompt Post your Good, Better, Best below and tag it #shift. 🌿 Reflection Questions Choose one or all: - The more we connect movement to something beyond a body result, the more robust that relationship becomes. So what's the reason you like to move? For me, in a season that feels crunchy, it's modeling it for my kids. I hope they'll move their bodies for the rest of their lives and see how important it is. How about you?

Used the PCOS Lab Check-list and it worked! 🥳
Hope this can inspire other members to do the same! This community has given me the courage to ask some specific lab prescriptions to a doctor! I was really nervous because it was a first time in my life where I was a bit more ACTIVE in my health, and asked something instead of just accepting what was given to me. The doctor didn't want to give me all the lab work I wanted from the PCOS Lab Checklist, but I got a few! Every one of them is a win. I cannot express enough my gratitude towards Dr Mélanie DesChâtelets for this. You changed my life. Thank you so much 🫶

✨ Sunday Shift & Nourishment Week of August 9
Happy Sunday shift day! 🌟 1) Working one-on-one with folks, I see a lot of beans, and a lot of mixed reviews about how they make people feel. Here's what I want you to know: beans are a powerhouse for fiber and plant-based protein, so good for your microbiome. But there can be an adjustment period, and that's okay. Start slow, and talk to your healthcare provider about Beano, an enzyme made specifically for breaking down beans, available almost everywhere. It's usually my top first recommendation to help people through that transition. 🌟 2) There are so many types and methods now too, even bean pastas or crackers. If you're not a big fan, try blending lentils into pasta sauces for more fiber and plant-based protein. Canned beans are shelf-stable, easy in your pantry, and gentler if you're sensitive to gas: the fermentable sugars dissolve into that liquid, so rinsing and dumping it makes them easier than from scratch. If you're making them from scratch and feeling great, no need to switch, this is just a troubleshoot for anyone who's struggling. ✨ This week, you lead you. Why am I such a fan of not measuring speed? It's anticlimactic, I know, it's what sells, it's what everyone wants. But after being in practice since 2010, I've seen the roller coaster too many times to keep pretending life is linear. People can push hard for a short stretch, but that's often far from what they can actually sustain for life. They hit the outcome, celebrate it, and then don't know where the middle road is. That's why we use the Good, Better, Best framework. We already plan for life to happen. Good is your hardest week version, and I mean it, if you wouldn't do it on your absolute hardest week ever, take it down a notch. Better is your average week. Best is your stretch goal when everything aligns. All the same flavor, just different levels. 🔎 This week's lens: Nourishment, Legumes. Here's what it could look like, modeled for you: Good: Just notice. Track how many times you eat beans or legumes this week. No changes yet.
You don't need to have PMOS yourself to belong here
I want to talk to a specific group of you today. Not everyone here has PMOS (formerly PCOS) themselves. Some of you are here because your daughter does. Your partner does. Your sister does. I don't say that as an aside... it matters. You showing up here, learning alongside her, matters more than you probably realize. ​ There's a study I read this week that backs this up. Forty women were interviewed about what it was actually like to get a PMOS diagnosis (small study, done in Pakistan... not the whole world, but the pattern is worth sitting with). Their experience sorted into four themes. ​ The confusion before the diagnosis... all that searching for an answer before you finally got one. How it hit emotionally when it became real... the moment the label landed. The health worries that came with it... the cycles, the skin, the weight changes, all of it. And how it shaped life decisions going forward... family planning, relationships, choices that got harder or different. ​ Here's the part I want you to sit with. The women in this study said parental and spousal support was what helped them cope. Not a supplement. Not a protocol. The people around them, showing up. ​ So if that's you... if you're here because someone you love is navigating this... thank you. It matters more than you know. ​ 📎 The study, if you want to read it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42466370/ ​ Which of those four themes lands for you the most? Whether you're the one with PMOS, or you're here for someone who is.
