0:00.0	Before we get started with this podcast episode, I want to read an incredible win from Natalie
0:05.6	in the Sisterhood. She says, I want to share my philosophy regarding the PCOS diet and the
0:11.1	holidays. For context, I'm having Christmas with my whole family in California for the first time
0:15.9	since 2019. We're big on traditions and big on food. Since I found the sisterhood, I have found modifying
0:23.0	my diet and lifestyle to gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free has been super empowering and not
0:28.3	just for my symptoms. When I choose to eat outside of my normal diet, I do so intentionally
0:33.3	and with direction. For example, there is no way I am going to pass on one of my great-grandmother's

1:12.8	helps someone else enjoy the holidays too.
1:15.6	Dr. said you got FECOS. Now go on, girls, just lose some way.
1:22.2	Till I took the symptoms into my own hands and reverse them naturally.
1:28.3	Bring you back now?
1:29.3	So I became a dietitian and helped my sisters feel the best they've ever felt.
1:36.3	Take a step in my direction if you want to prove them wrong and take control of yourself.
1:43.3	Join a sister and a mister.
1:48.7	What an introduction from Natalie.
1:51.2	Shout out to her in the sisterhood.
