49. Trying to Conceive with PCOS? The Game-Changing Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle with Julia Young

If your cycles are irregular, your labs always come back “normal,” and you’ve been told everything looks fine—but your gut is telling you otherwise—this episode is for you.

Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS and feel like your body is working against you…
Maybe your period hasn’t returned after stopping birth control…
Or maybe you’re stuck in that confusing limbo of not knowing what is off or how to fix it.

In this episode, I sit down with fertility nutritionist Julia Young, who knows the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive firsthand. After facing her own fertility struggles, failed IVF cycles, and seven years without a period, Julia turned to nutrition and lifestyle—and everything changed.

We dive deep into:

• What PCOS really is—and why it’s so often misunderstood
• Why “normal” lab results don’t always mean your hormones are fine
• The biggest nutrition myths around PCOS and fertility
• Small, realistic shifts that can actually improve ovulation and cycle regularity
• Supplements that support hormone health (and how to know which ones you really need)

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally after vasectomy reversal, preparing for IVF, or just feeling overwhelmed by hormone chaos—this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and tangible next steps to move forward with hope.

XO,
Susan
