PCOS Mauritius

Many women write to me looking for quick solutions to lose weight, especially now with the rise of GLP-1 medications.

And I understand the struggle. I’ve been there.

But when we talk about PCOS, we need to remember this: weight gain is often a symptom (linked to insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, stress, lack of sleep, inflammation, and many other things happening inside the body.

So if we only attack the weight, we may only be attacking the visible part of the problem.

This does not mean that medication is “bad” or that women who use it are taking the easy way out. For some, GLP-1 medications can be helpful and medically appropriate. But they should be used with proper medical guidance, not as a trend or a shortcut sold by social media.

For me, the deeper question is:

What is my body trying to tell me?
Can I support my hormones?
Can I eat in a way that stabilizes my blood sugar?
Can I move according to my cycle instead of punishing my body?
Can I sleep better, drink more water, reduce stress, and rebuild trust with my body?

Because when you work with your body instead of fighting it, Girl....things change 🙏

There are also natural alternatives to support you.

• Vinegar before meals, as shared by Glucose Goddess, to help with blood sugar response

• Herbal blends, like the Slim Tea from LunaGlow which I’ve recently tried here in Mauritius and found helpful for appetite support

There are supplements such as Berberine and Chromium though they should be used carefully with guidance from Doctors.

But all this does not mean magic. Our bodies are not machines.

PCOS/PMOS needs patience, support, and consistency. There is no one size fits all....

The goal is not just to lose weight.
The goal is to understand your body 🙏

As both a nurse and someone living with PCOS, I realised how much we’re often expected to “figure things out” on our own.
I wanted something that wasn’t overwhelming or strictly clinical, so I created Slow Bloom
A guided PCOS journal designed as a gentle space for you to understand PCOS as a whole ( its types, possible causes, symptoms) and patterns. While also holding space for your personal journey.

Inside, you’ll find space to:
-Track your cycles and symptoms
-Reflect on your body and mood patterns
-Learn about PCOS in a simple, supportive way
-Reconnect with yourself without pressure.
And many more!

This journal is here to slowly help you understand your body. Because managing PCOS can feel overwhelming and lonely, this gives you one place to feel supported, organized and understood.
Slow Bloom is now open for pre-orders.

Renommer le SOPK en PMOS aurait dû être fait depuis longtemps.
Parce que ce problème n’a jamais concerné uniquement les ovaires.
Cela a toujours été un trouble qui touche l’ensemble du corps.

Des femmes qui vivent avec des hormones complètement déréglées.
Des femmes qui souffrent de résistance à l’insuline.
Des femmes confrontées à des troubles métaboliques.
Des femmes qui vivent avec une inflammation chronique.
Des femmes qui traversent l’infertilité et les pertes de grossesse.
Des femmes qui subissent des changements de poids inexpliqués.
Des femmes épuisées à qui l’on dit simplement de “faire plus d’efforts”.

Pendant des années, le nom même de cette condition a minimisé ce que tant de femmes vivaient réellement.
Alors oui, cela semble être un pas dans la bonne direction.

Mais changer le nom ne suffit pas.
J’espère que cela signifiera aussi davantage de recherches, de meilleurs traitements, des diagnostics plus précoces, et des médecins qui arrêteront de minimiser la souffrance des femmes simplement parce que leur condition ne correspondait pas à une appellation dépassée.
