When Jorelle Wynn was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in her late twenties, she felt overwhelmed. The symptoms — irregular cycles, weight gain, and constant fatigue — made everyday life exhausting. After trying various medications and quick-fix diets, Jorelle decided to take a different approach: clean eating.
For her, clean eating wasn’t about restriction or fad trends. It was about choosing whole, unprocessed foods that nourished her body and helped balance her hormones. Breakfast now became a bowl of steel-cut oats topped with berries and chia seeds, instead of sugary cereals.
For lunch, she enjoyed quinoa salads with leafy greens, avocado, and grilled salmon. Dinner often featured roasted sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, and a lean protein like turkey or tofu.
Within weeks, Jorelle noticed small but important changes — her energy improved, her skin cleared, and her menstrual cycles began to regulate. She also reduced her intake of dairy and refined carbohydrates, both of which can trigger insulin spikes that worsen PCOS symptoms.
Her journey wasn’t about perfection, but about consistency. She still treated herself occasionally, but 80% of her meals were packed with nutrients. Alongside regular exercise and mindfulness practices, Jorelle’s clean-eating plan became a lifestyle, not a short-term fix.
Her advice to other women with PCOS is simple: start with small changes, listen to your body, and choose foods that support hormonal health. For Jorelle, this shift didn’t just bring symptom relief — it gave her back a sense of control and hope.
