The 3 Biggest Mistakes I Made When Coming Off Birth Control

Why Birth Control Doesn't Solve PCOS/PMOS — And What Really Does

In this episode, Taylor explores the complex yet often misunderstood condition of PCOS/PMOS. She debunks myths surrounding birth control as a solution, and highlight the importance of personalized, root-cause focused strategies to restore hormonal health and fertility. Perfect for women seeking sustainable solutions beyond symptom suppression. This episode was recorded prior to the proposed terminology shift from PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). This change is a huge step in the right direction because — as you'll hear throughout this episode — this condition involves far more than ovarian cysts alone. Polyendocrine recognizes the involvement of multiple hormone systems (including insulin and androgens). Metabolic highlights the important whole-body impacts, including insulin resistance, weight/metabolic changes, and cardiovascular risk. Ovarian preserves the reproductive and ovulatory aspects of the condition. Syndrome reflects that this is a cluster of symptoms and presentations rather than a single, one-size-fits-all disease. Takeaways: * How PCOS/PMOS is diagnosed and common misdiagnoses, including hypothalamic amenorrhea * The critical role of gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and minerals in managing PCOS * The importance of comprehensive functional lab testing and custom protocols for lasting results Connect with Taylor: * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nourishedbytay/] * Tik Tok [https://www.tiktok.com/@nourishedbytay?_r=1&_t=ZP-93OtEpQB0gB] * Join the How to Stop Birth Control Without Symptoms [https://www.facebook.com/groups/793478609997855/] Facebook group Work With Taylor: * Free Breakup with Birth Control Masterclass [http://nourished-by-taylor.com/free-course-podcast] * Apply for a Free Strategy Call [https://nourished-by-taylor.com/apply-to-work-with-a-nutritionist] * Get your own labs run to determine the root causes of your hormone symptoms here.

Is Your Water Causing Your Acne? The Hidden Cause of Breakouts No One is Talking About

Most people never think twice about the water they drink and bathe in, but it could be quietly disrupting hormonal balance and triggering breakouts. In this episode, Taylor breaks down how halogens like fluoride, bromine, and chlorine found in everyday water sources compete with iodine in the body, and what that means for skin and thyroid health. She shares her own personal experience with water-induced skin reactions and walks listeners through practical steps to reduce halogen exposure, optimize iodine levels, and make smarter choices about water filtration for clearer, healthier skin. Takeaways: * Halogens like fluoride, bromine, and chlorine compete with iodine in the body, which can disrupt hormonal balance and show up directly on your skin. * Iodine deficiency is more common than most people realize and it plays a significant role in both thyroid and skin health. * Small, practical changes like filtering your water and mindfully supplementing iodine can make a meaningful difference in managing acne.
