Headlines about wildfires, tropical storms, and melting ice shelves have sparked a global conversation about the urgent climate crisis we face. According to the 2021 People’s Climate Survey by the United Nations, 64% of people view climate change as a pressing emergency. The survey also revealed that 54% support stronger conservation efforts, while half believe we need to invest more in green energy. While growing climate awareness is a positive development, many find themselves caught in a cycle of bad news and helplessness. Breaking free from this cycle can be challenging, but with the right support, embracing sustainability can lead to improved mental health and overall well-being. Together, we can turn our concerns into action, creating a brighter future for both our planet and ourselves. 🌍💚 The Connection Between Sustainability and Mental Health Climate change is becoming an urgent issue for people worldwide. Natural disasters, wildfires, and extreme weather are disrupting our
In 2015 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which is a disorder that causes hormonal imbalance and the presence of small cysts on the ovary this for a while threw me off balance when I heard the news. Even though my doctor put me on hormonal medications, as a nutritionist and a health-conscious person, I did not want to rely solely on pills with nasty side effects. Inspired by my education in nutrition and self-conviction that it is possible to control PCOS without medications, I began active research for natural treatment........
After deep research, I found that Myo-inositol, a naturally occurring compound, can better manage PCOS symptoms. Myo-inositol is available naturally in cruciferous vegetables including cauliflower, and broccoli among others. Knowing the healing properties of these vegetables, I carefully added them to the diet and followed the created PCOS-fighting meals plan with a perfect combination of consumables for my case.
This approach, which was so effective and comprehensive paid off and proved to be effective although it demanded a lot of effort and hard work. I was finally able to achieve weight loss, better health, and proper management of PCOS from late 2015 till a few months earlier in 2018. This encouraged me to stand as the figurehead for the fight against the traditional medication approach to PCOS and embrace other treatment approaches within the nutrition and wellness sector.
Unfortunately, in 2018, my Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) resurfaced, profoundly impacting my personal life as my husband and I were encountering difficulties in conceiving our second child. Seeking medical advice, a consultation with a gynecologist confirmed that PCOS was the underlying issue hindering our efforts. Instead of opting for medication, the resounding recommendation was to prioritize weight loss as a fundamental strategy to address the fertility challenges posed by PCOS.
Determined to overcome this hurdle, I embraced a
multifaceted approach to weight management. Juggling the demands of my job with
an unwavering commitment to fitness, I dedicated myself to regular workouts and
a structured dietary plan. The road was laden with obstacles, but my resolve
remained steadfast. Gradually, I began to witness the positive transformations
that my dedication was yielding. It was a slow and arduous journey, but
eventually, my persistent efforts culminated in a remarkable achievement - a
weight loss of approximately 12 kilograms, a testament to the power of
determination and perseverance.
The transformation was not merely physical. Alongside
the weight loss, my confidence skyrocketed. In the fourth month of my gym
routine and weight loss journey, I had a strong gut feeling that I might be
pregnant. After taking a pregnancy test, my husband and I were overjoyed to see
a positive result.....
This journey stands as a testament to the power of
dedication and lifestyle changes. Managing PCOS is indeed possible with the
right approach, demanding awareness, commitment, and a positive mindset. My
story serves as a reminder that with perseverance and a proactive approach,
it’s possible to take control of PCOS and achieve your goals.
............This is the reason why I have titled this article
