Rewriting Wellness

31. The Disordered Eating That Gets a Gold Star

Some disordered eating gets noticed... but this kind gets complimented. In this episode, Brooklyn opens up about her own years of "perfect" eating, the kind everyone praised while it quietly ran her whole life, and unpacks why wellness culture is so good at disguising restriction as health, why women with PMOS get hit hardest, and what she wants you to know if you're living in it right now.

29. PCOS Is Now PMOS, What the Name Change Actually Means For You

If you've ever been told "you can't have PCOS, your ovaries look fine," this episode is for you. Last week, after fourteen years of global research and over 22,000 voices, PCOS officially got a new name, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS. And it is so much more than a rebrand! In this episode, I'm breaking down what the new name actually means, why the old one was causing real harm, and what this shift unlocks for your care going forward. We'll talk about the validation so many women have been waiting years for, what the name change does not fix, and the conversation nobody else is having, how diet culture is about to weaponize the word "metabolic," and how to protect your body trust through it. If you're ready for whole-body PCOS care without weight loss as the goal, PCOS Thrive Academy is where we do this work together!! Apply here [https://form.typeform.com/to/iKnpNXF5 ]

28. Why I Shifted My Focus to PCOS (and What I Started Noticing in My Clients)

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a more personal side of my journey as a dietitian and walking you through why I shifted my focus to PCOS, and how that shift completely changed the way I support women. When I first started out, my work centered around helping women heal their relationship with food and move away from disordered eating patterns. But as I began working with more clients, I noticed a pattern I couldn’t ignore… so many of them were also struggling with PCOS. And not just in a surface-level way. They were dealing with intense cravings, low energy, irregular cycles, and feeling like their body wasn’t responding the way it “should”, even when they were trying to do everything right. This led me to dive deeper into PCOS, insulin resistance, and hormone health, and what I found was a major gap in the space. Women were either being told to restrict more, cut out foods, and follow overwhelming routines… or they were being given advice that didn’t fully support what was going on in their body. In this episode, I share what I started noticing in my clients, the turning point that shifted my approach, and why I believe you don’t have to choose between supporting your hormones and having a healthy relationship with food. If you’ve been feeling stuck, confused, or like nothing is really working, this episode will help you understand why, and what to focus on instead. Apply to PCOS Thrive Academy here! [typeform]

27. GLP-1s: Pros, Cons & How to Decide What’s Right for You

GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now… and depending on who you ask, they’re either life-changing or completely harmful. So what’s actually true? In this episode, I’m breaking down GLP-1s in a way that cuts through the noise and gives you a clear, balanced, and evidence-based perspective. We’ll talk about what these medications actually do in your body, who they may be helpful for, and the potential downsides and research gaps that aren’t being talked about enough. I’m also sharing what I’m seeing as a dietitian working with women in real life, from those who feel scared to start, to those who didn’t have a great experience, to those who have genuinely benefited from them. We’ll also cover how to support your body in ways that mimic some of the benefits of GLP-1s, and how to decide whether this is something worth considering for you. This episode is not about telling you what to do, it’s about helping you feel informed, confident, and supported in whatever decision you make. PCOS Thrive Academy Application [typeform]
