Hi! I'm Meredith. When I was diagnosed with PCOS, I was told that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant unless I did everything the doctor said. For most of my adult life, I dealt with many of the common symptoms of PCOS: irregular periods, weight gain, infertility, facial hair, and fatigue. So I tried it all. I took medications, supplements, and did almost every exercise plan in the book–and I have the booty bands and weights to prove it! And you want to know how much weight I lost? ZERO! I actually gained 40 pounds in just one year!

 

Nothing seemed to work. After I started taking fertility medications, my fertility specialists were confused as to why the medications weren’t working. After two years of trying to get pregnant, we finally got a positive pregnancy test,  however, me and baby had some scares during pregnancy, including getting diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes during my first trimester, which is a condition that could negatively impact my health and my baby’s. Fortunately, me and baby were safe and I gave birth to a sweet girl at 38 weeks!

 

After giving birth to my sweet girl, I remembered people telling me that my PCOS will get better. Well, that wasn’t my story. And that's when I started doing my own research. I realized that I had to do something different if I wanted to start living the life that I visioned for myself. And through my research, I discovered that the symptoms I was experiencing were a part of a deeper root cause, insulin resistance. So I followed nutritional guidelines and I started losing some weight, but then my weight stalled out again. I felt like I was back at the start. I looked in the mirror and the person I saw in the reflection was not the person I knew I could be.

 

So I had a heart-to-heart with God. In that conversation, it was revealed to me that there are issues even deeper than what I realized. "Eating healthy" could only get me so far...I had to implement a protocol to change certain habits. These habits had been with me for 30 years, but it was time to break the chains. Almost instantly I started to see the results. I lost over 30 pounds, my cycle became regular again, and I no longer felt ashamed and guilty of who I was.

​

I understand that many women who can relate to my story have tried it all and even followed the recommendations to fight the symptoms and treat the root causes. Through it all they still struggle. That's why I become a coach - to teach women how to start improving their PCOS with simple nutrition and lifestyle changes and creating a system that will never let you fall off track.
