Hi Meera, I hope you are well. Here are a few chances that will help you deal with PCOS better. 1) Include enough fibre in the diet. Fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, millets, nuts, seeds ( chia seeds, flaxseeds). 2) Add enough protein in the form of lean meat, eggs, lentils, beans, yogurt, buttermilk, nuts, and seeds. 3) Maintain a healthy weight. 4) Avoid consuming high calorie, low nutrient foods items, such as fried fruits, ultra processed foods, refined foods, packaged foods, etc. 5) Get enough rest and sleep for 7-8hrs, daily. 6) Include herbal teas such as spearmint, chamomile tea to manage your symptoms. 7) Consider taking a myo-inositol supplement after consulting a doctor. 8) Start your morning with a wholesome breakfast, and avoid consuming sugary cereals or high calorie food items. 9) Manage your stress levels with yoga and meditation. 10) Include a workout at least 4-5 times a week in your routine. It can be a home-based workout, or zumba, pilates, a walk ..take care✨

Please feel free to connect with me for a more precise dietary changes for your unique requirement.

What supplements are recommended for menopause?
You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.
Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

my periods are delayed by 3 months and i m not pregnant any remedy to get periods
Hi there, I hope you are well. If you're periods have been delayed for 3 months, then, it must be a hormonal imbalance. - Please see a gynecologist immediately and get the necessary tests done. You may need to get your thyroid, hormonal tests, as well as Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 levels tested. - Kindly don't delay. - What is your weight, height, and do you have family history of health issues? Do let me know:) Take care.

Is it healthy to take out some time everyday away from my husband?? Will it affect our relationship or strengthen it?
it is completely normal and healthy to want some time to yourself even when you're married. needing personal space does not mean that there is something wrong with your marriage. it just shows that you value your independence and like taking care of your well-being. taking time for your self helps you align your personal needs. manage stress, make goals for yourself and accomplish them.

How long does it take to forget a guy? Ugh, it's been ages since we broke up, but I still can't get him out of my head. How long does it usually take to forget about a guy and move on?
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many young people having difficulty moving on from past relationships. Let me give you an analogy on how this works. Imagine a black ball inside of you, that's the pain you felt during break up. It doesn't go away. It stays but the beauty is it becomes smaller and smaller as you experience the even more beautiful things in life. And one day you won't even know that it exists because it's too small to notice. that's how trauma works. Hope I helped you and join my live to have a conversation with me.

How long does it take for a man to realize what he lost in his ex is something that he will not find anywhere, in any other women?
Hi Beautiful. Okay. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many couple's and I can see that, you really love your ex. You are a beautiful women and ofcourse he would miss to be with an amazing human. But this is something you seem to not realise, if you did, you wouldn't put yourself in such misery of waiting for him. I know it's difficult, but start by thinking that you would only allow respect, trust and love. Anything less isn't for you. I would want to talk more on this, come on a call with me on my live session. - Consultant Psychologist

What do you want him to "find" in other women? Please share. It can take a day or even months. Life goes on, people will find new people who suit their interests. Most are normally like others and it's heartbreaking to lose what you loved and cared that you obsess over other person taking those things. Relax, it will take time to get over it.

Are there any dietary supplements you recommend to support my menstrual health based on my individual needs?
Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!
hina15d
There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.

I host several podcast it's a huge passion of mine and I also produce I strongly feel that empathy is the glue of humanity and without it what do we have for understanding one another and being kind toward one another is what keeps Us human it's what makes it work and without it what can possibly get better you must hold on to that and remember and show it where it's needed so that people can know what it is and be able to show that same to others connecting and growing with others is within the foundations of empathy that's how the world gets better so we can understand we don't have to directly know one another we must be that change and it starts with us, we must be the change we want to see!more
