I decided to work with Nosheen because I was struggling with PCOS and many of its symptoms--weight gain, acne, facial hair, hair on my head falling out, flakey nails, no regular period, fatigue, lethargy. The list goes on!
My biggest health wins: I finally got a period after having my IUD removed 18 months ago, better digestion (no fluffy poops anymore); hair is growing long and full; nails on the rebound; fatigue and lethargy GREATLY improved (more balanced and rested every day); less acne on my neck and chest (masks are not my face’s friend right now); no more waking up to pee at night; sex drive is improved (even with antidepressants); bags under my eyes and puffiness in my face is gone; fingers, toes, and nose are not freezing cold anymore and I’m warmer throughout the day; no more low appetite...I’m hungry in the morning, it feels great and is directly related to the eating habits we worked on together.
Making these strides in lifestyle changes could have been so much harder, especially considering my demanding career-- I am away from home on a frequent basis for work and living on the road makes it hard to stay mobile and make good food choices. I also had some big life changes this year and moved across the country midst a pandemic. But I was able to adopt some key takeaways from my time with Nosheen, and stick to them during all of the chaos. I think that has been a huge factor for all the "wins."
I’m also way more confident! Before working with Nosheen, I felt metaphorically paralyzed by my "diagnosis" and when I would engage in discussion with my doctors, I felt dismissed. Now I have the knowledge so that I can continue being my greatest advocate, and that's all thanks to Nosheen's support! Nosheen is so easy to talk to, which was important because I felt incredibly vulnerable as a client. I loved that she provided lists and recipes--I would be totally overwhelmed without them.
I think every woman with PCOS can benefit from this program! We are conditioned to believe wellness is a one-size-fits-all process, and when our health goals don't materialize it's easy to feel like a failure. Having this opportunity opened my eyes by going in depth to the functions happening inside my body. Knowledge is power!
