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 Mentioned in this episode PCOS Meal Prep Made Easy Workshop – In this hour-long workshop, I break down what foods you want to include for PCOS and what you may want to consider avoiding or minimizing.

Hormonally Yours with The Hormone Dietitian Hi, I’m Melissa Groves Azzaro, an award-winning integrative women’s health dietitian. I’ve helped thousands of women struggling with hormone-related issues and helped them identify and address the root causes of THEIR hormone imbalances, so they can have regular, symptom-free periods and optimize their fertility naturally. My mission is to be the no-BS hormone nutrition education resource for smart, busy women struggling with hormone imbalances. Most of the women I work with are bosses in every area of their life except their own hormones. And they appreciate learning the science and wanting to understand they WHY behind their symptoms… but what they don’t have is TIME to do their own research. And there’s so much misinformation out there around what actually works. As a licensed healthcare practitioner, my hope with this podcast is to dispel some of those myths and give you the information you actually need to feel better and thrive by living a more balanced life. A little disclosure – the information I share on this podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended to be taken as medical advice. Yes, I’m A dietitian, but I am not YOUR dietitian. Always consult with YOUR healthcare provider before implementing diet, exercise, or supplement changes. Join me each week as I share science-based information about PCOS, fertility, and other hormone imbalances, interview guest experts who specialize in this field and talk with women just like you.
