Mrs.PCOS: The Hormone Hustler

Painful but necessary conversations.

I explained early on what PCOS is and that I have it. My now husband reassured me before our marriage that if it ends up being just us that I am enough. We are enough together.

If your homemade broth turns into literal Jell-O in the fridge…
That’s not weird.
That’s GOLD. 💛

That jiggle means it’s packed with collagen and gelatin — and that can be incredibly supportive for PCOS.

Here’s why my hormone-support broth is staying on repeat:

🥣 1. Blood Sugar Support
This broth is high in protein and zero sugar.
Sipping it between meals helps prevent blood sugar spikes — and stable blood sugar = calmer insulin = happier hormones.

🧠 2. Gut Healing Power
That thick gelatin texture?
It’s rich in glycine and glutamine, amino acids that help:

• Support the gut lining
• Reduce bloating
• Improve digestion
• Support estrogen metabolism

And since gut health impacts androgen levels… this matters.

🔥 3. Anti-Inflammatory Support
PCOS is a low-grade inflammatory condition.
This broth includes:

• Collagen
• Mineral-rich bones
• Oregano & sage
• Onion (quercetin!)

All working together to support a lower inflammatory load.

🧂 4. Thyroid & Mineral Support
I used Himalayan salt + iodized salt — because balance matters.

• Iodine supports thyroid function
• Trace minerals support metabolism
• Potassium from celery helps with fluid retention

Thyroid health and PCOS are closely connected.

🥕 5. Hormone-Friendly Ingredients

Carrots → Beta-carotene for hormone support
Celery → Potassium + digestion support
Onion → Prebiotics + quercetin
Oregano & sage → Antioxidant & hormone support

This isn’t just soup.
It’s a metabolic support tool.

😌 6. Stress & Cortisol Regulation
Glycine (abundant in gelatin-rich broth) is calming to the nervous system.
Lower stress = lower cortisol.
Lower cortisol = better insulin sensitivity.

And we KNOW cortisol loves to stir up PCOS chaos.

Is bone broth a cure? No.
Is it a powerful supportive tool when paired with strength training, protein-forward meals, and blood sugar balance? Absolutely.

If your broth jiggles…
You’re doing it right. 💪💜

Absolutely!
