At 28, I was diagnosed with PCOS. Irregular cycles, fatigue, and mood swings became my daily companions. The doctor's words echoed: 'Lifestyle changes can help.' But where to begin
I delved into research. Among various diets, the vegan approach stood out—promising reduced inflammation and balanced hormones. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to give it a try.
Transitioning wasn't easy. I learned to craft meals rich in fiber and plant proteins. Lentils, quinoa, tofu, and leafy greens became staples. Slowly, my energy levels improved.
Beyond diet, I incorporated regular exercise and mindfulness practices. Morning yoga sessions and evening walks became rituals, grounding me and alleviating stress.
Months passed, and the changes were undeniable. My cycles became regular, mood swings diminished, and I felt more in tune with my body than ever before.
My journey isn't just about me. It's about hope, resilience, and the power of informed choices. Embracing a vegan lifestyle transformed my relationship with PCOS—and with myself.
