The Best of PCOS Diva

I wrote a plethora of articles in 2013.  If you didn’t get a chance to read them all, I thought you might like to take a peek at what I thought were some of the highlights.  Let me know what you want to hear about in 2014 in the comments below.

1. A PCOS Friendly Valentine’s Treat   – I post one of my favorite gluten-free desserts in this post – Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce and Coconut Cream.  “An indulgence is an opportunity to experience pure pleasure.”
2. Spaghetti and Meatballs – PCOS Diva Style   This spaghetti and meatball recipe is delicious and satisfying, but without the carb coma for dessert.
3.  Essential Oils and PCOS   For centuries, essential oils of plants have been used for their  healing properties.
4. A Dozen PCOS Anxiety Busters Anxiety can be one of what often seems like a myriad of PCOS symptoms.  I share some of my favorite ways to overcome anxiety naturally.
5. The Benefits of EFT for PCOS I introduce you to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), otherwise known as “Tapping”.  This tool has vastly improved my stress levels and quality of life.
6. Strawberry Coconut Cream Pie  I’ve combined strawberries with a gluten-free pie crust and coconut cream for a delicious dessert.
7. Tria Beauty: At Home Laser Hair Removal It hasn’t happened overnight, but I can say by 8 weeks of using the Tria I noticed a huge difference.  It takes longer than a typical in office hair removal.  The laser isn’t as strong.  But to have the convenience of being able to do this at home at really a fraction of the cost of multiple in office visits, is amazing.
8. An Interview with PCOS Expert Dr. Richard Legro I  had the pleasure to chat with one of the leading PCOS Researchers and experts, Dr. Richard Legro.  Dr Legro is a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Penn State University College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
9. No More Excuses with Gaiam TV   This is my go-to workout resource. There are tons of streaming yoga and fitness videos available on demand.  The standard offer is a 10-day free trial and $9.95/month, but Gaiam TV agreed to offer PCOS Divas a 2nd month free incentive to try it out. Click here for  the link
10. Stress and Adrenal Health in PCOS For women with PCOS, stress can seriously imbalance the delicate interplay between hormones and can even interrupt the progress you are making as you put in the hard work to change your diet, exercise and balance your hormones with supplements or medications.
