#104: MJ Nutrition: Everything you need to know about treating PCOS naturally

Struggling with PCOS and unsure where to start?

In this episode of The Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I sit down with Mary Jo of MJ Nutrition, a registered nutritionist specialising in women’s health and PCOS. We break down common misconceptions, discuss the critical role of gut health in hormone regulation, and explore practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help you take control of your symptoms.

Mary Jo also shares her personal journey with PCOS and how she now helps women navigate their own health challenges. We debunk myths - like whether you really need to cut carbs or if the pill "cures" PCOS - and provide science-backed strategies to support your body naturally. Plus, we dive into fertility, hormone balance, and the best dietary choices for managing PCOS effectively.

If you're looking for real, actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen.
