I haven't even started watching this but I want to thank you for making it - I have PCOS and honestly it makes me feel so much less alone having this pop into my subscription box
My heart really goes out to you. You are dealing with a shitty situation with such grace. You are a real inspiration and I truly wish you nothing but good things for the beauty and positivity that you promote. And that's from the insanely high standards and creativity that you put into editing your videos, to the yummy recipes, to the honest and open way you have dealt with your health issues 🍓❤️🌴
As much as I adore your artsy editing it's so comforting to watch your casual vlogs as well. You have a lovely personality and outlook on life that just shines through the camera :)
WOW i really appreciate this video series on PCOS. I've been to the obgyn who based on my dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia thinks i have endometriosis but i have to go for some tests etc but i have like every symptom of PCOS that you describe besides irregular periods; food intolerances, difficulty to lose weight especially in upper arms and lower body, acne etc
+trini fei one of my old doctors thought I had endo too! When they test your hormones make sure you request specifically that they test your "free testosterone levels". My old doctors kept missing that one.
Kind of annoying how the comment section is full of "lip injection"-comments. Don't know if you've had one, and honestly, don't care x) You're just gorgeous and inspirational on all levels, Rachel. I get why some people are curious, but bleh, your body/face, your choice
This is so incredibly helpful, thank you for making me feel human by sharing your story. obviously I don't have the resources available to me that you do, but I appreciate you being so open and honest about your experience with PCOS.
Could you do a PCOS overview video? Plus, what exercises do you do to combat the belly bloat aspect of PCOS? That's my biggest challenge when it comes to my PCOS.
Hi Rachel, I have PCOS and have been on a similar journey. I'm glad to hear you mention gut issues, as this has been the foundation of my personal healing. It is important information - thank you for sharing! I was touched when you mentioned your struggle being public about your PCOS in your diagnosis video - my confidence has been slow to build, and its encouraging to find women like you. I binged watched your channel the other day and am looking forward to your future content.
LOVE anything PCOS related, going through same thing with high testosterone. Love that you're keeping it real! Keep it up! All the best with your health journey Rachel! xx
I dont suffer from PCOS however I really enjoy watching these kind of videos Id like to know more about PCOS :) and btw your back tattoo looks awesome! x
i can't explain you how useful are all of the info you stare about PCOS ...i have it and it's difficult sometimes to find the right info in the internet especially if you want to deal with it naturally.. i would love to see what you eat(if you can share)so that it would give me some ideas...i want to loose a bit of weight that I've gained because of the syndrome..Thank you so much!You Keep me positive!!!:-*
Look at you go!!! Get it gurl!!! I'm so proud of you!!!! PCOS sucks I have PCOS was fit for a while then got lymes disease so they put me on steroids... I'm back to square one, but I've just removed myself from a bad living situation and get to start again. Also your minimalist post and other peoples have helped me Cull most of my items down to just what I love and just what I need... So everything I own I was able to pack and move in one day :-D THANK GOD FOR THAT!!! Anyhow, I'm so proud of you getting your dx in check.
Thank you so much for doing this documentation of pcos... it's not talked about enough! I got diagnosed this year and it's been a struggle as you well know. Big love to you x
I just thought that you may like some natural alternatives for dealing with your PCOS, Claire Wolfe is a New Zealand CZcamsr and her old videos were very helpful on learning about natural teas and herbs and supps and stuff and Macie Vega is an American CZcamsr who has PCOS and she has a guide on fruits and veggies and other plant foods that are good to eat during certain times of your cycle
Keeping it real with the PCOS update thanks 😊I too have PCOS and my sister, and we both suffer with stomach bloating and cramps, think I'm going to try the DIM, I already try to avoid gluten but think dairy is playing me up also! Would love to see what u eat in a day as I need a bit of inspiration xx thanks xx
Thank you so much for your videos on PCOS. They have given me inspiration to keep pushing forward (I too have PCOS). In one of them, you spoke about working out incessantly to keep your weight down. I was working out 3x/day and eating like a bird. I lost weight (around 40lbs), but I felt miserable and I had to stop. It's comforting to know that someone has gone through the same struggle and can understand it. I would love to see what meals/snacks you have throughout the day.
I really like this series even though I don't have PCOS but several other diseases to fight and I like seeing how other people (more or less) successfully fight theirs!
it looks like you're doing great! it's so good to see an update. your skin progress will keep getting better with this mentality. please keep updating us and perhaps eventually let us know what ends up working well for you.
I love how real you are in this video, Rachel. I know how difficult it is to drink tea when it's hot lol. Our country is that almost 90% of the time. I just drink it lukewarm instead. I drink Chromium Picolinate, Maca root powder in my smoothies, I drink spearmint tea and another blend. I have heard about DIM. Some people with PCOS also take Evening Primrose. If I could really afford these I would also but just the adjustments in my diet (currently trying to adjust lowering my gluten intake, which is almost impossible in my country - just one resto is completely gluten free lol) and adjusting from high carb to semi-low carb which is already getting so expensive. I've always had big arms, it's the first that gets fat lol. I also have that bit of too much hair problem and some more problems. Please do continue these vlogs. It gives me the push to not give up.
Please do the food diary. These supplements are great for pcos I totally forgot about Dim! Spearmint tea takes a bit to get used. Hehe. Thanks for doing these videos!!
The food video would be amazing next because I have found im getting sick on certain foods im eating and my face and back have broke out so bad the last 3 months as well as total lack of energy to the point where I can't even hear my alarm to get up for work on time.. I have a lot of stress from work but I'm wondering if I could take some of your tips on meals to see if I can get some of this under control.. Your seriously my inspiration.. Everything from a to z on your channel is absolutely perfection!
I’ve just been diagnosed with PCOS and I’m doing plenty research on it. It’s a lot to process honestly, but I’m glad I’m not alone in this. I’ve found so many women(including yourself) to go through it with. I’ve been told I should loose some weight to help manage it.
Been following your channel years now. So, inspired and full of informations especially on PCOS. Been dreaming also to have my full back tattooed! Nerves Glen!!! Wooh! ☺️ thank you Rachel!
Hey Rachel! I was diagnosed with PCOS back when I was 14 but none of the doctors I went to had helped me to find the actual reason behind it so I would just be constantly on the pill. Since then, I have changed a couple of doctors & I finally found a way to treat it & maybe you could look into it as well. I went ahead & took a blood test to check my insulin levels & it turned out they were pretty high. That basically means that my androgen levels were high as well & that affected my menstrual cycle & my weight. After receiving the correct medication, exercising regularly & eating healthy, I lost more than 10 kilos in less than 7 months & now I'm having my period every single month with no help at all from the pills.
Loved this video! So neat for you to create such an honest, clear piece. Blown away by the tattoo. You are becoming an extraordinary adult woman. Thank you for sharing your process.
Loved the more casual vibe of this video! Please keep doing more and do the 'what i eat in a day' video. Also will a high fat low carb diet still be effective if you have one meal a week slightly higher in carbs?
+Farzana Ahmed yes! Unless you need to be strictly keto. I eat some rice or something similar maybe once a week. It's not bad to trick your body, just don't overdo it :)
Thank you! Both my doctor and PT have told me to try a high fat low carb diet and i'm trying to do as much research as possible before committing. Honestly you're meal prep videos are so reassuring that i can still eat tasty meals despite cutting out carbs.
You're an inspiration for us who need to take better care of our selfs... Please keep checking in and I hope you show us your ink. I bet it's beautiful !!!
wow Rachel that tattoo! 😱 bet that's been tricky with the aftercare. can't wait to see what it looks like. Haven't kept up with your videos in a while, gonna have a good look now :-) have a good day! 😘
I've heard that doing low carb (keto) diet is extremely beneficial for PCOS. Hope you do well in the future and get a handle of all the crazy symptoms!
This was really insightful! I've been having crazy allergic reactions to food in the past year but it's been to food I've been eating for my whole life. Definitely doing to ask my allergy doctor about the crossover with PCOS because we haven't found a trigger yet.
Would love to see a food diary video :) By the way i have pcos too and ive been finding it really difficult lately to feel hopeful about things possibly getting better for me but videos like this make me feel like maybe its not time to give up just yet. Like i know youre struggling to deal with this problem like the rest of us but your attitude about having pcos is inspiring. So i just wanted to say thank you for keeping the hope alive. It means a lot to me and im sure to others as well
Nice video once again, interesting topic you have here! :) I'm waking up like 7-10am depending if I have school and I try to go sleep not later than 10-11pm. At the moment we have daylight less than 6 hours in a day here in Finland and it's getting closer to none everyday (because it's winter here)... Can't wait for spring, more sunlight and more energy!
Hey, Rachel! I've been a fan for a very long time! :3 I was thinking, have you ever considered that stress is EXTREMELY bad for women with PCOS. I have it myself and ever since I decided to take a break from everything major going on in my life and just chill out for a little bit and then start slow one step at a time it's been better; a lot better. So I suggest you consider stress as well and have a little break.
pcos cyster! lol thank u for updating us! ur vids have motivated me to do meal prep I've lost some pounds and my pcos symptoms are alot better too! I can get really painful breakouts as well I hope ur ankle gets better :) peace and love from California
Hi Rachel, I've been watching you for a long time now and you've always been an inspiration to me. I want to thank you for all the videos you make about your PCOS because as of recently i have also been diagnosed with it. I'm finding it really hard to lose weight and was wondering whether you could make an updated video about belly exercises now that you have PCOS and are more prone to bloating. Love you! ❤❤
I saw one other person mention this, but have you considered asking your doctor to put you on Metformin? Because the root cause of PCOS is insulin resistance, Metformin has helped many people correct this and further lower their androgen levels. Thanks for the video!
I'm not sure if you would see my comment but I would love to see follow up videos on how all these steps and sups have helped and been beneficial! Your videos are so helpful! I was diagnosed with borderline PCOS when I was young but now that Im older I'm really starting to feel the full effects and am awaiting results. I am unsure wether I want to take the "medical" route as they have just said to go back on the pill so I would love to see how these have helped you before I take an crazy action to getting better! Xx
You should try just brewing your spearmint tea with cold water - just leave it in a jar or jug of water in the fridge over night. It's cold and minty and refreshing as can be!
Love the fact that you are so public about having PCOS. I was diagnosed in 2009. I also am a health care worker so when others are saying,"You are eating to much,' or ' you need to exercise more,'" when in reality you have cut your calories down by 25% and exercising 2 hrs a day and still gaining weight it was very frustrating. It took 2 professionals to actually diagnose me. Now I am being treated by a specialist. I would love to chat with you about this, share information. I found out a lot!
Great video! A lot of your viewers keep mentioning if you had any work on your face done? Maybe a video on that since it seems to be a topic of interest! And you look amazing btw! ❤️❤️❤️
I love this video, thank you. I think I probably have PCOS because I display like all of the symptoms.... It's just a matter of getting into the doctor, I don't know how to go about doing that. Thank you for sharing. Also, I've been trying to wake up at 5:20am every day to go to yoga. So far I've made it two days haha. Otherwise I wake up at 7am (because of work.) I wish I was a morning person or an early riser. Naturally, I'm pretty sure I'd have a strange cyclical sleep pattern based off a 26hr day (sleep 10hrs wake 16hrs.)
Awe it was so nice to see this casual side of you! I just moved to Brisbane from Vancouver. You are right it is so hot (and it's not even summer yet :| ) I'm a practitioner of Chinese medicine, still waiting to get my registration complete in Australia. We should go out for tea sometime xx
Dear Rachel. I don`t know if this will help but Turmeric is amazing to clear up skin complaints. I take it in capsule from and include Turmeric tea daily. A couple of days ago I made a video on my channel on how to make Turmeric tea. Maybe this might help you. Turmeric and Ginger tea might also help your stomach problem. I hope that this might help. All the best to you.
Hey Rachel! Thanks so much for making these videos. As someone who deals with pcos every day I can relate to this. Was wondering if you also deal with hair loss? My hair has been falling out for 2+ years and it’s getting so depressing. Not too sure if you have any tips? Thanks again! Best of luck ♥️
This is super late but I've been using rosemary essential oil (adding 2-3 drops to my shampoo each time I wash) and collagen supplements for hair growth. I see new baby hairs but still feel bald lol
I try to wake up at 5am but it's been a struggle this past year. You're always busy, how do you stick to your bed time hour? I love your energy thank you for being open to sharing your journey with us.
Do you suffer a lot from hair growth with your PCOS? If so how do you deal with it? I have managed to in some way or another combat each of my PCOS symptoms but the hair is my main issue. It is literally the bane of my life!
Would love to see your food vlog regarding pcos. I really appreciate your work and your honesty with your viewers! I have the same syndrome and I relate to all those troubles that it brings 😔 Please, keep up and share more, you are very inspirational! I literally love every single subject you cover! Thank you! Btw a following pcos question: what about alcohol? Like red wine? Did you give up any kind of alcohol or you may have a glass of smth time to time and what it may be?
I've always had irregular menstrual cycles and bad acne since I can remember, so I thought that it was normal. But just recently I gained 50 pounds in less than a year. I didn't even realize how big I had gotten until my fiance started taking pictures of me. Well I went and got blood work done and I found out I am insulin resistant. Thankfully I am not prediabetic or diabetic (yet,) but my doctor said that it seems I may have pcos? He didn't set up an appointment with the ob and he just put me on metformin, so should I set up an appointment myself or wait to see what he decides? Sorry I don't know if it is any different where I am then from where you are.
Cassandra Theodore I was prescribed metformin also, but I stopped taking it-leaves you slave to the porcelain god! Eat a veg and fruit heavy natural diet, add organic, antibiotic-free meats if you choose and keep your carbs natural and low. It's done wonders for me with exercise added. Hope this helps and good luck!
nrsimmons178 Thanks for taking the time to read my comments and inform me! I will find some channels as well as continue to watch this one. Good luck to you and your hubby I wish for the best! 😊
I suggest setting up an appointment with your OB! Helps to have a second opinion... Sometimes meds just don't really work so much so it would be good it you get to the root of the problem.
The side effects if metmorfin will go away after a few weaks, if you follow the diet, and if you build up the medicine. For example if you have to take 1500mg, start with 500 for a week or two, then 1000 another week, or until the side effects calm down, and then you can take the 1500 mg. This is how doctors advise you to do where i live. Also you cannot follow a low carb diet, because if you don't eat enough of them, you're going to feel dizzy and stuff. 120-160 gramms of slowly absorbing carbs, divided between 5-6 meals a day to keep your insulin and blood levels consistent. No sugar, or white flower, not too much diary, or sweet fruits, you only should eat those in the afternoon, with some slower carbs like wholewheat crackers or something, so for example a smoothie for breakfast would be a bad idea, it would make you crave food all day.
Hey girl! I love how you're so passionate about nutrition and fitness. So what big dietary changes have you made? I'm just now starting to count my macros. How do you feel about working out for body type? Ex: endomorph..mesomorph? You're food videos are awesome xoxo thanks for sharing.
I haven't even started watching this but I want to thank you for making it - I have PCOS and honestly it makes me feel so much less alone having this pop into my subscription box
also I would love a PCOS food diary! I get so overwhelmed with all of the information about what I shouldn't be having
You guys aren’t alone ! So
Many woman are fighting this horrible syndrome ,..

Are you on any antidepressants? Occasionally they can cause changes on your cycle. (I'm in the 1% where it does - ergh!)

Yes, the series is back! And yes, to the food vlog.

DL Nguyen a certain pill that would balance my insulin levels.
Sevi Kazantzidi was it metformin?

when do you go to sleep, to be able to wake up at 4 am?
absolutely loved this casual style video 😍 love the higher effort ones too though, can't decide lol :D you are so inspirational!!
Hi Rachel. Thanks for the PCOS videos! Yes, please vlog your diet for PCOS.
So excited to see that tattoo!
wow Rachel that tattoo! 😱 bet that's been tricky with the aftercare. can't wait to see what it looks like.
Haven't kept up with your videos in a while, gonna have a good look now :-)
have a good day! 😘
how the bloody hell do you manage to wake up at 5am XD inspirational!
Hope you don't mind me asking,did you get your lips done? They look so full and lush 😍
Brook White I had the same thought, they really suit her!!
Brook White pretty sure she's done a recent video where she talked about that :)
Did you get lip injections?????
I've heard that doing low carb (keto) diet is extremely beneficial for PCOS. Hope you do well in the future and get a handle of all the crazy symptoms!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! The Papaya drink is going to fix my tummy!
Omg I can't wait to see your tattoo!
Please please do a what I eat in a day for the next PCOS video! Also if you could give the vegetarians with PCOS any tips
This was really insightful! I've been having crazy allergic reactions to food in the past year but it's been to food I've been eating for my whole life. Definitely doing to ask my allergy doctor about the crossover with PCOS because we haven't found a trigger yet.

I want to thank you for all the videos you make about your PCOS because as of recently i have also been diagnosed with it. I'm finding it really hard to lose weight and was wondering whether you could make an updated video about belly exercises now that you have PCOS and are more prone to bloating. Love you! ❤❤
Hey Rachel! I wake up at about 5, which I really like. It's so quiet and I feel like I get way more done in the afternoon when I come home from work.
Sorry guys i havent been keeping up with the vids, why does she look different in the face , did she get work done?
I saw one other person mention this, but have you considered asking your doctor to put you on Metformin? Because the root cause of PCOS is insulin resistance, Metformin has helped many people correct this and further lower their androgen levels. Thanks for the video!
I would love another PCOS food diary! Love these videos. :)
I'm not sure if you would see my comment but I would love to see follow up videos on how all these steps and sups have helped and been beneficial! Your videos are so helpful! I was diagnosed with borderline PCOS when I was young but now that Im older I'm really starting to feel the full effects and am awaiting results. I am unsure wether I want to take the "medical" route as they have just said to go back on the pill so I would love to see how these have helped you before I take an crazy action to getting better! Xx
You should try just brewing your spearmint tea with cold water - just leave it in a jar or jug of water in the fridge over night. It's cold and minty and refreshing as can be!
Love the fact that you are so public about having PCOS. I was diagnosed in 2009. I also am a health care worker so when others are saying,"You are eating to much,' or ' you need to exercise more,'" when in reality you have cut your calories down by 25% and exercising 2 hrs a day and still gaining weight it was very frustrating. It took 2 professionals to actually diagnose me. Now I am being treated by a specialist. I would love to chat with you about this, share information. I found out a lot!
Great video! A lot of your viewers keep mentioning if you had any work on your face done? Maybe a video on that since it seems to be a topic of interest! And you look amazing btw! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes please, share what you're eating cos I feel so confused about dealing with PCOS at the mo :(
Great vid do ♥
I love this video, thank you. I think I probably have PCOS because I display like all of the symptoms.... It's just a matter of getting into the doctor, I don't know how to go about doing that. Thank you for sharing. Also, I've been trying to wake up at 5:20am every day to go to yoga. So far I've made it two days haha. Otherwise I wake up at 7am (because of work.) I wish I was a morning person or an early riser. Naturally, I'm pretty sure I'd have a strange cyclical sleep pattern based off a 26hr day (sleep 10hrs wake 16hrs.)
Yes please do the food diaries! Absolutely love them xo
Awe it was so nice to see this casual side of you! I just moved to Brisbane from Vancouver. You are right it is so hot (and it's not even summer yet :| ) I'm a practitioner of Chinese medicine, still waiting to get my registration complete in Australia. We should go out for tea sometime xx
Please auch food diary and updates on PCOS!!! It really helps me! :)
Dear Rachel. I don`t know if this will help but Turmeric is amazing to clear up skin complaints. I take it in capsule from and include Turmeric tea daily. A couple of days ago I made a video on my channel on how to make Turmeric tea. Maybe this might help you. Turmeric and Ginger tea might also help your stomach problem. I hope that this might help. All the best to you.
I enjoyed a lot this blogs, felt so personal, as if we were just having a conversation ahaha, I wake up at 7:10hrs & in the weekends at 8:00hrs :)
I would love to see what you ate in a day vlog🙏🙏

You are beautiful, you don't need tattoos! It takes away from your beauty!
I seem to wake up at 6:46 every day. Excited to see your back tattoo x
Hey Rachel! Thanks so much for making these videos. As someone who deals with pcos every day I can relate to this. Was wondering if you also deal with hair loss? My hair has been falling out for 2+ years and it’s getting so depressing. Not too sure if you have any tips? Thanks again! Best of luck ♥️
This is super late but I've been using rosemary essential oil (adding 2-3 drops to my shampoo each time I wash) and collagen supplements for hair growth. I see new baby hairs but still feel bald lol
would love you to do a PCOS food diary, really struggling to get on top of this part of it x
Rachel would be good having a list of the products in the description box coz I always forget the name by the end hahaha
What protein powder would you recommend for someone with pcos and mixer ( water/milk) ?
Food diaries and meal prep would be great!
I love all your videos, but I really do enjoy this informal type vlogs too. It's cool to see you unscripted. Glad you're doing better!
I try to wake up at 5am but it's been a struggle this past year. You're always busy, how do you stick to your bed time hour? I love your energy thank you for being open to sharing your journey with us.
I'm so glad you posted this video , I also have pcos.
Thank you so much for this video! I have PCOS and I feel alone on this journey.
You powerful lady ! Cheers!
I need more Rachel in my lifeeeee ♥
Thannnnkkk youuu sooo mmuuucchhh rachell ❤️❤️❤️
Do you suffer a lot from hair growth with your PCOS? If so how do you deal with it? I have managed to in some way or another combat each of my PCOS symptoms but the hair is my main issue. It is literally the bane of my life!
I'd love a PCOS food diary video :)
Would love to see your food vlog regarding pcos. I really appreciate your work and your honesty with your viewers! I have the same syndrome and I relate to all those troubles that it brings 😔 Please, keep up and share more, you are very inspirational! I literally love every single subject you cover! Thank you! Btw a following pcos question: what about alcohol? Like red wine? Did you give up any kind of alcohol or you may have a glass of smth time to time and what it may be?
yes please more videos and tips for living with pcos
Yes. Yes. Yes. please do a PCOS food diary...
Would love to see the food videos! I love your determination ❤️
Would love a food diary! Your videos are beautiful!
I've always had irregular menstrual cycles and bad acne since I can remember, so I thought that it was normal. But just recently I gained 50 pounds in less than a year. I didn't even realize how big I had gotten until my fiance started taking pictures of me. Well I went and got blood work done and I found out I am insulin resistant. Thankfully I am not prediabetic or diabetic (yet,) but my doctor said that it seems I may have pcos? He didn't set up an appointment with the ob and he just put me on metformin, so should I set up an appointment myself or wait to see what he decides?
Sorry I don't know if it is any different where I am then from where you are.
Cassandra Theodore I was prescribed metformin also, but I stopped taking it-leaves you slave to the porcelain god! Eat a veg and fruit heavy natural diet, add organic, antibiotic-free meats if you choose and keep your carbs natural and low. It's done wonders for me with exercise added. Hope this helps and good luck!
nrsimmons178 Thanks for taking the time to read my comments and inform me! I will find some channels as well as continue to watch this one. Good luck to you and your hubby I wish for the best! 😊
Just helping out a fellow "cyster", lol! Good luck to you too and thanks for the well wishes! :)
I suggest setting up an appointment with your OB! Helps to have a second opinion... Sometimes meds just don't really work so much so it would be good it you get to the root of the problem.
The side effects if metmorfin will go away after a few weaks, if you follow the diet, and if you build up the medicine. For example if you have to take 1500mg, start with 500 for a week or two, then 1000 another week, or until the side effects calm down, and then you can take the 1500 mg. This is how doctors advise you to do where i live. Also you cannot follow a low carb diet, because if you don't eat enough of them, you're going to feel dizzy and stuff. 120-160 gramms of slowly absorbing carbs, divided between 5-6 meals a day to keep your insulin and blood levels consistent. No sugar, or white flower, not too much diary, or sweet fruits, you only should eat those in the afternoon, with some slower carbs like wholewheat crackers or something, so for example a smoothie for breakfast would be a bad idea, it would make you crave food all day.
Can't wait to see the tat!
Do you get acne in your back? I used to have acne just in my face but now is my back😫 they hurt too
Please do a what I eat in a day video!
