Show Notes

Have you ever felt terrified at the idea of eating more, even when deep down you know your body needs it? You're not alone. This fear is so common, especially if you’ve struggled with weight gain in the past or have been bombarded with conflicting advice about PCOS and restrictive eating.

Today, we’re revisiting a conversation between Clare and Emma, our Senior Nutritionist at The PCOS Nutritionist, as they share their personal journeys of breaking free from the restrict-repeat cycle. They open up about what it’s really like to rebuild trust with your body—and why eating more might actually be the missing piece in your PCOS journey.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of eating less, only to feel exhausted, anxious, and frustrated by your body’s response, this episode is for you.
