Hi, I’m Reese – Your PCOS Tita & Advocate

My PCOS Journey: From Confusion to Empowerment

At 23, I heard the words “You have PCOS” from my doctor… followed by an explanation that left me more lost than ever. Like many millennial women with PCOS, I struggled with:

Unexplained weight gain (that “just eat less” advice didn’t work)
Crazy hormone fluctuations (acne, mood swings, and those 60-day menstrual cycles)
Misdiagnoses and outdated medical advice
The shame spiral of “Why can’t I control my own body?”

But here’s the twist: My degrees in Psychology and Counseling didn’t prepare me for this battle—living with PCOS did.

Why PCOS Millennials Exists

This isn’t just another PCOS blog. This is the judgment-free zone I wish existed when I was:

Googling “Why am I gaining weight but eating healthy?” at 2 AM
Feeling alone in PCOS infertility struggles
Spending thousands on PCOS supplements that did nothing

Here, you’ll get:
💬 Real talk about PCOS mental health (I’m a counselor—this is my jam)
🍳 PCOS-friendly recipes (for when you’re too tired to meal prep)
✨ Tita-level honesty about PCOS weight loss, hair loss, and finding joy anyway

My PCOS Story: No Perfect Victories Here

“You have PCOS”… then handed me a pamphlet and sent me on my way. Sound familiar? Like you, I’ve spent years:

Battling random weight swings (from “missed my period” bloat to “is this stress or PCOS?” chub)
Crying over negative pregnancy tests (while doctors shrugged)
Wasting money on “miracle supplements” that did nothing
Feeling exhausted, unheard, and so damn alone

Here’s the raw truth: I don’t have all the answers. I’m still figuring this out with you.
