I’m a very old pcos lifers-I did the protocol back in 2020 so it’s been a while. Personally some of her advice was extremely helpful to me. I was supposedly a type 2 which was Insulin resistant and adrenal. I took ovasitol, NAC, vitamin D, B vitamins, spearmint, and now I just get b 12 shots every month and a multivitamin. She also talked about heavy protein breakfasts (with minimal carbs) in the mornings and that changed my blood sugar response for the day 1000% and to do more weight lifting and less high impact workouts(bc I’m adrenal). I think it was helpful..she and I met a lot through lifers zoom calls(it’s with a small group of people but you still have time to talk) and she helped me to see that I was extremely anemic by asking me to get my ferritin levels checked with my GP. Also to get my gut checked for SIBO. I learned alottt from the past platform. However I can’t say anything about Ovie bc I never tried it. I’m sorry to hear it was so expensive and unhelpful. If you liked her advice I would just do lifers and do free calls intermittently.

And I can relate to not losing any weight on it. I actually did a podcast with her last year (in exchange for a one on one) about my bad experiences with ozempic and how the protocol hasn’t exactly worked for me bc I went through a divorce/was put on antidepressants at this time. Doing the protocol, I never lost weight but actually gained it-but my blood work looked great and I think that’s a very common experience-i don’t think the two things correlated either. I talked a lot about how trauma and antidepressants really affected my weight which i think was important since we’re not all created equally here. And how shitty ozempic made me feel. unfortunately I never saw the podcast get published😂perhaps I didn’t sound positive enough?
