Tools for Stress for Women with PCOS (Or Really for Anyone!)

While everyone should be proactively managing stress in their lives, it is especially important if you have PCOS. I’ve found that I can “get away” with more in terms of poor diet and lack of sleep during times of either less sources of stress or more proactive management of stress.

I think a lot of us also underestimate how much stress is impacting our bodies because a baseline of high stress has become our normal. Our nervous systems are chronically pushed into their sympathetic state. It’s not until we go on a restful vacation or finally get some sort of a break from our stressors that we realize just how much our nervous system had been in overdrive.
