I Talked To Nikki Pebbles About PCOS-Friendly Workouts, And Low-Impact Is The Key
Hormone health impacts everything, including the workouts that are best for you.
11h

Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) deal with a lot of uncertainty in their life. Between hormonal ups and downs, unpredictable weight gain, painful cyst ruptures, and infertility worries, their bodies are often under a lot of stress! A common symptom of PCOS is having a hard time losing weight — many women find themselves frustrated (or in pain) from traditional workout plans.
I talked to Nikki Pebbles, a certified personal trainer and group fitness coach, to talk about the kind of workouts that are best for women who are dealing with PCOS.

What is your personal experience with PCOS?
</h2>
<p>I don't personally have PCOS. I deal with more of the thyroid range of things — my mom, cousin, and uncle all have under-active thyroids. But I do have experience with ups and downs in hormone health. When I had my first experience with bad hormone health four or five years ago, I tried everything to get it under control. </p><p>Now, fast forward to when the pandemic happened and I jumped on TikTok and started doing workout videos. </p><p>I'm a big believer in low-impact workouts. Whether you have endometriosis, PCOS, hormonal issues, or anything else that stresses out your body, your body is already in a massive state of stress. When you're doing high-impact workouts (not HIIT, that means high intensity), you're putting more stress on your body. Adding more stress to your already-stressed body is not ideal, so low-impact workouts and strength workouts help balance and calm your hormones. </p><p>When I discovered that, I started sharing my low-impact workouts. One of my clients has PCOS — I realized that there isn't really a lot on PCOS and fitness. When I found this out, I took some courses on nutrition and read some studies to educate myself. I then started labeling workouts "PCOS friendly," because it's low-impact, helpful, and brings inclusivity to the workout. Women with PCOS need to be able to find things that actually help them and are considerate of their condition! </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
Have you had people reach out to you with feedback for these workouts?
</h2>
<p>I have my virtual gym that I really work at making "hormone-friendly." About 80% of the people who are in that program have endometriosis, PCOS, or struggle with hormone issues. I don't want to make it about weight loss, but I do want to make it about function. Thanks to these workouts, I have had so many people who have been able to lose weight for function. </p><p>A lot of women really struggle with fertility. One of my clients has this experience, but after getting on a routine with low-impact workouts, she's begun ovulating again: </p><blockquote><em>"After doing your workouts, I've been able to ovulate for the last three months — something I haven't been able to do in seven years. We're looking forward to hopefully having a baby soon. Thanks so much for your workouts, they literally saved my life." </em></blockquote><p>That is so cool and so exciting for me to hear — that workouts can actually make a huge difference in someone's life. My major goal is to make it super accessible. When you're coming from a point of working out where your body is normally in pain and then you realize that you can do it — that is amazing. </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
A lot of women with PCOS have a hard time losing weight. The old school version of this is just burning as many calories as possible.
</h2>
<p>I think a lot of people don't get that we're taught how strength training — especially for women — means "getting bulky." But strength training is the best thing you can do for your body! When you do cardio, you only burn when you're doing cardio. When you lift weights and do strength training, your body is still working long after the workout is done. </p><p>So many women think "Oh I wanna lose weight? Let me run a bunch!" But that's not the way to do it. Strength training is the best thing you can do for your body, whether you have hormone issues or not! </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
A lot of your workouts are pretty short! Why is that?
</h2>
<p>In my virtual gym, the longest class is 30 minutes and the shortest class is 10 minutes. I like to give people different options. If someone goes in and does a 15-minute Ariana Grande arm workout, they can easily add another short workout depending on what they feel like that day. </p><p>One of the biggest fitness myths is that you have to work out for an hour, or an hour and a half, every day to see results. That's just not true! It's also overwhelming for a lot of people to see that timeframe, but you can get a very effective workout in 15 or 20 minutes. My goal is to get people excited (and comfortable) with moving their bodies. </p><p>We're also all really busy! But we can do a 15-minute workout on a regular basis. </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
Especially with hormone balance, small sustainable habits are key! Many women I've talked to have tried drastic things, but they don't keep up with them. You mentioned you'd taken some nutrition courses, what are some key hormone health takeaways that you had from those?
</h2>
<p>Well, I have a psychology background, so I look at nutrition (and fitness) from that angle first and foremost. When it comes to nutrition, no one really looks at the psychology around food. When you have a hormone imbalance, you already feel really frustrated and you just really want something to work. I've dealt with those hormone issues — I get it! I'll get really bloated whether I eat a salad or something else. It's easy to spiral. </p><p>I look at the function around food — the point is not to be scared of food! General advice (like cut out gluten, cut out dairy) for hormone nutrition is tricky since everyone is so different, so I try to stay away from that. </p><p>I think a majority of people have a toxic relationship with food, and I think that's the first thing that needs to be fixed before you jump into more nutrition-specific advice. </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
So say someone was just diagnosed with PCOS and they start following all those Instagram accounts for PCOS diets, PCOS weight loss, PCOS fertility...how do they weed through the masses and find the good ones?
</h2>
<p>Ooh, that's a hard question — there's so much information and also not enough! Or I should say there's not enough credible information. A lot of these accounts are personal experiences, which is great, but those personal experiences aren't certified. Find people who are actually credible, not only speaking from their one experience. Find registered dietitians. For instance, I have a certificate in nutrition, but I am not a registered dietician. </p><p>I always tell clients to find a registered dietician that is also anti-diet culture and pro-body positivity. Go to a credible source! </p><p>Everyone is going to be different, but look for the certification and THEN look for relatability. Go ahead and ask them their credentials if they don't automatically share! It can be too overwhelming if you try to take in everything. </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
What do you think is the biggest, most important thing for women with PCOS to remember as they begin to form their own workout habits?
</h2>
<p>You have to create this idea in your head that you're working out because you want to function better — not because you think being a certain size or looking a certain way is going to fix all of your problems. Come from a place where it's not an "all or nothing." You need to work out because you want to feel better, it's fun, and you're in a safe environment. I've had so many people talk to me about their horrendous workout experiences. </p><p>First and foremost, make sure you're focused on feeling good and feeling functional. Being in a smaller body doesn't mean your life is going to completely change. It's about just helping yourself feel better — this is also different for everybody! So don't waste your time comparing yourself to others. Own your fitness journey. </p><p>You're getting stronger every single day — right now you're powerful! You're just building on that power you already have. You're looking for long-term sustainability so you can create a really great relationship with food, fitness, and yourself. </p>

Created solely with the Maybelline New York line, you'll get a glimpse of makeup done the Empire State way.

Maybelline
As a makeup artist who is always looking for bargain, good quality makeup, I can confidently say that Maybelline's New York line exceeds any high expectations I set. With only five steps and seven products, you can achieve the makeup looks rocked by models for one of the biggest fashions shows in the industry.
The direct makeup artist, Erin Parsons, also shared her statement about the makeup saying, "When you're on vacation, you don't really wear much makeup. We applied Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Coffee Edition in Espresso Enthusiast and Chai Genius sinve the models had to wear masks following application, and we knew that the makeup would not move."
<p>You've heard it now from two makeup artists — one of which is an artist for major fashion shows: these products are worth the money.</p><blockquote style="margin-left: 20px;"></blockquote><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

After that, she put on <a href="https://www.ulta.com/city-bronzer?productId=pimprod2002752" target="_blank">Maybelline New York City Bronzer</a> to the nose and cheekbones for a subtle glow.</p>

I've Had PCOS For 12 Years — This Is What I Eat To Have More Energy And Clearer Skin
It's a lot of what I don't eat, too.
12h
978
I began suffering the symptoms of PCOS — acne, fatigue, weight gain, and an irregular cycle — when I was about 16, but I wasn't diagnosed until about nine years later.
The symptoms were, of course, frustrating, but I am now thankful for all of the time I spent trying to manage them naturally with my diet, herbs, and vitamins. Now that I am diagnosed, I do take a small dose of prescribed spironolactone which has helped immensely, mostly with my skin.
<p>My personal preference was to take the lowest dosage possible, so under the supervision of my OB/GYN, I really only take it about one to two times a week. Other than that, my symptoms have been largely managed by my diet and I notice a significant difference in my mood, energy levels, and skin when I don't follow each of my self-imposed rules.</p><p>Throughout my journey, I came across Dr. Felice Gersh, author of "<a href="https://amzn.to/2G4HRj9" target="_blank">PCOS SOS: A Gynecologists's Lifeline To Naturally Restore Your Rhythm's Hormones, And Happiness</a>" who, with her emphasis on holistic living, validated a lot of the dietary decisions I had been making for the past several years. </p><p>She also added several dos and don'ts to my routine, all of which are below. By adopting all of these changes into my life, I noticed a difference in my body in about a week. On the flip side, when I fall off the wagon (which, invariably happens more than I like to admit), I'll notice a difference in my energy levels and skin almost within hours.</p><p>With the incentives of clear skin and high energy, this is the way I know I need to eat when I want to keep my PCOS symptoms at bay.</p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

<p>The crux of most PCOS symptoms is that women with it tend to have increased insulin levels. Dairy increases insulin levels, and when I cut it out I noticed an almost immediate difference in my skin. This was difficult in the beginning — especially when it came to late nights out with friends that invariably ended at the local pizzeria.</p><p>But, I've been dairy-free for almost five years now and I can honestly say I no longer crave it. Dr. Gersh actually says cutting out dairy is her number one rule, and to absolutely avoid it at all costs — especially if clear skin is your goal.</p>

<p>I thought the whole gluten-free thing was a total fad, and honestly, it might still be. But, with many of the women in my family having a gluten intolerance, I ended up being accidentally gluten-free for several weeks while visiting home. I noticed my skin was clearer than it had been in years. </p><p>Since that was the only real change I had made in my routine, I tried eating it one day to find I had a new breakout on my face the very next day. Ever since I discovered this, I eat gluten at my own risk because I know for a fact that when I do, I will end up with a small breakout along my jawline. </p><p>Gluten has been known to cause inflammation, something people with PCOS are already extremely susceptible to, so gluten can really trigger that inflammatory response — especially on the face.</p>

<p>Alcohol increases our heart rate, which is why so many of us can sometimes feel we don't sleep particularly well after drinking — for me that's especially the case after drinking wine. Even after just a glass or two, someone with PCOS may feel the lasting effects of low energy the next day or two afterward due to their increased insulin levels.</p><p>According to Gersh, when we're asleep, our body lowers its inflammation levels. If you're drinking, it will have a far more difficult time doing so. This causes a higher chance of another breakout, but I also know my energy levels are low for days after I have a couple of glasses of wine.</p>

<p>It's a known fact that women with PCOS are extremely susceptible to stress — <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165178116310277?via%3Dihub" target="_blank">up to 50% of women with it report feeling depressed</a>.

<p>After dairy, Gersh labels sugar as the number two worst thing someone with PCOS can put in their bodies.</p><p>I recognize this is a hard pill for some people to swallow, so I recognize my being lucky for not having much of a sweet tooth. For me, cutting out sugar was pretty easy. For the times I do decide to indulge in some dessert, I notice I don't sleep as well at night and that I'll experience super low energy levels the next day.</p><p>For the few times I do crave sugar, I go for <a href="https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/paleo-chocolate-chunk-tahini-cookies/" target="_blank">this chocolate chip cookie recipe</a> I actually make without the sugar it has in its recipe — it still tastes good to me because of the small amount of sweetness from the chocolate chips.</p>

<p>It might sound strange to be wanting to take a prenatal vitamin if you're not actively trying to get pregnant, but I've been taking a prenatal for several years without a desire to get pregnant simply for the easy way it packs in all the necessary vitamins for reproductive and hormonal health in one pill.</p><p>"For women with PCOS, it's essential to take zinc as well as Vitamins A, C, and D. A prenatal vitamin rounds it all out," says Gersh. Starting to take a prenatal vitamin had the biggest effect on my energy levels. </p><p>I noticed within a couple of weeks that I had more energy throughout the day when I took it, and for the few times I've run out before having a backup bottle of them, I notice a serious dip in energy.</p>

<p>This was the biggest, most recent, and most effective adjustment in my life. "It's essential to eat a large breakfast and stop snacking during the day and finish all food consumption by 7 p.m. each night," says Gersh. </p><p>As a snack fiend, this was the hardest one for me. But, I tried it for just a week and I can say with absolute certainty I haven't had so much energy since I was in my early teen years. I wasn't jumping around my apartment and dancing out of bed, but my thoughts felt clearer and I felt more at peace rather than the fatigued/tired feeling that had blanketed much of my late teens and early twenties.</p><p>This one is difficult for me to really sustain, but the incentive is so high, I am a lot more mindful of when I stop eating and consuming smaller amounts of food later in the day.</p>

I Rated The Most Sexist Comments I've Received In The Past Month And, Folks, Misogyny Is Alive And Real
Misogyny isn't dead, and if you think it is, you're about to be disappointed.
15h
695
I'm not one to talk about personal issues, like the first-hand misogyny I experience as a woman, usually because it makes close family and friends uncomfortable. However, I have recently become exhausted with the number of comments I get, so I decided to rate all the ones I received in the past month to prove that misogyny is alive and real.
<div class="rebellt-item col1" id="rebelltitem4" data-id="4" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="False" data-href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/most-sexist-comments-i-received/1-god-has-blessed-me-today-10-10" data-basename="1-god-has-blessed-me-today-10-10" data-post-id="2647712075" data-published-at="1600488211" data-use-pagination="False">
<h2 data-role="headline">
1. "God has blessed me today." 10/10
</h2>
<p>I went on a trip to Louisiana, and although fun, it does require a thick skin if you want to get around the city. Although there are never any "good comments" from catcallers, it still wasn't the grossest thing that has been said to me and it was kind of sweet... I'm glad he felt blessed by my presence. For that reason, this person gets a solid 10/10.</p>
</div>

<h2 data-role="headline">
2. "I want to kiss whatever is underneath that mask." -4/10
</h2>
<p>The purpose of masks is to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Personally, I've liked the ability to sneak around without detection, pretending I'm a ninja on a mission. My favorite about these masks is not having to smile or be told, "You'd look prettier if you'd smile." I was hoping I'd be relieved from misogyny for a while with the mask rules, but just like the pandemic curve, I was wrong. </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
3. "You'd be cuter if you talked less." -300/10
</h2>
<p>This happened after a presentation required for my class, which I ended up getting an A on. You'd think being a Public Relations major at a school with a 1:5 female ratio would prevent this from happening...</p>

5 Unique Fall Date Ideas For Couples Tired Of Netflix And Chilling
Don't worry, this list doesn't include cards.
17h
1058
With the pandemic, so many of my friends and I discussed how it was hard to find new things for date night when so many places were closed. It seems like date nights were just endless nights of bingeing Netflix and stuffing my face with Halo Top and SmartSweets. I tried those other date night ideas like cooking together and playing cards. But even those things can get old after a while. Finally, I had it and decided we need to make date nights COUNT again, even if we had to social distance.
Here are 5 different and unique ways you can spice up date night with your partners.
<p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

<h2 data-role="headline">
1. Paint your own pong table
</h2>
<p>This is one of the most fun things you and your partner can do together. You not only get to paint, but you also get to brainstorm creative ideas together. And the table is perfect to use before you go out together. </p><p>The best part is that this date won't set you back a ton of money — plus it'll get tons of use! All you need is a <a href="https://amzn.to/3cnItg2" target="_blank">folding table</a>, some paint, and maybe a stencil or two.</p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
2. Backyard camping
</h2>
<p>I, personally, hate the idea of going camping out in the wilderness where I have to wipe with poison ivy and take dirt showers (clearly I've never been camping). But camping right behind my house, where I have full access to a bathroom and kitchen is perfect. You and your partner can sit by the fire, lie under the stars, and have some <strong>fun</strong> in the tent. And sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is exactly what you need! </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
3. IKEA taste testing
</h2>
<p>OK, I know you're probably thinking<strong> </strong>"<em>Isabelle, what the hell?"</em> But do NOT sleep on IKEA desserts. Their ice cream is to die for, honestly, their cinnamon buns are as big as your head, their churros are always piping hot. And you and your partner can die laughing at each other while you pronounce all of the Swedish furniture names wrong. </p>

4. Make your own beer
</h2>
<p>This idea is super fun. Not only can you two create a beer together, but you can also invite friends over and have a blind taste testing to see who the true Alpha beer maker is. There are a ton of <a href="https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/oktoberfest-ale-beer-brewing-kit" target="_blank">beer making kits</a> online you can choose and they usually range from $40-150. </p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
5. Read to each other
</h2>
<p>I know that this sounds boring but there are so many ways to make this fun. For example, when you and your partner take turns to read have the other do an accent of your choosing. The first to laugh has to buy the other breakfast the next morning. Or play a fun drinking game. Like every time Voldemort is called he who-shall-not-be-named in "Harry Potter," take a sip of your specially crafted beer. Or read erotica together. But warning... you may not be able to finish the book. </p>

The Book Every American High Schooler Wasted Their Time Reading
And what they should read instead.
22 September
2938
"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This classic novel has found itself in the hands of nearly every high school student for the past decades. Ahead of its time, the themes of racial injustices and loss of innocence have certainly sparked many healthy conversations in classrooms.
<p><strong>However, the novel is about the struggles of a white family through a white narrator. Should it not be the other way around?</strong></p><p>The traumatic history of the Black community should be the main focus of discussion, not sidelined as an undeveloped side character. (Also, how many teachers used this book as an excuse to use racial slurs in classrooms?)</p><p>Since the superiority of the white man was established, an ever-growing power dynamic has installed itself between the white and Black communities. "To Kill A Mockingbird<em>" </em>fails to address this increasing issue, thus enabling this issue to escape classroom discussion. The conversation should be focused on the survivors, not the perpetrators.</p><p><strong>Instead, "Beloved" by Toni Morrison should find itself in every High School curriculum.</strong></p><p><em></em>"Beloved" explores the trauma of post-Civil War through voices of Black, developed characters who are antagonized by the white community (can we please accept the fact white people were the villains in American history? Thank you).</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2647743073-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {

googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2647743073-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><p>Morrison does not shy away from retelling the atrocities committed, no matter how unsettling they are. Black victims are given more than a name and a conflict that a white individual must solve (just imagine yourself in their shoes, it's that easy!) The heavy themes presented throughout the novel serves itself as a stage for Black voices and shifts the power dynamic that is still enslaving the Black community today.</p><p>It's imperative that future generations are educated in root causes of racial injustices and how it has plagued the country. <em>"</em>To Kill A Mockingbird<em>" </em>offers a weak perspective on racial injustices and maintains the idea of power over Black individuals.<em> </em>"Beloved<em>" </em>shares the story of racial injustices through the lenses of victims, thus turning them into survivors.</p><p>If any student sees<em> </em>"To Kill A Mockingbird" printed on their syllabus, they should consider picking up "Beloved" as well. </p>

This Hair Dryer Straightens My Wavy Hair In Under 10 Minutes — And It's Half The Price Of A Dyson
A salon-style blowout, no pants required.
21 September
12211
- Since my late teens, I have had wavy, unruly hair that is susceptible to frizz from heat damage.
- I've made a conscious effort to try and eliminate heat styling products from my hair regimen in order to do less damage in the form of split ends and hair loss.
- When I first tried Tineco's MODA ONE Smart Ionic Hair Dryer, I was immediately amazed by how quickly it dried my thick strands and how straight/sleek my hair was with minimal work.
Up to my late teen years, my thick, soft, silky straight hair was the envy of nearly everyone I encountered. I totally took it for granted till my hair began to evolve into being more wavy and unruly with random patches of wavy and straight hair.
<p>At that point, I began spending the next several years using straighteners and curling wands on my hair to make my hair look barely put together. The end result was even worse — my hair got so damaged that all of my strands had split ends and my hair was even falling out. </p><p>When I decided to do a full hair detox a few years ago, I threw out all of my heat tools and slowly worked on rebuilding my hair health. Once I got to a comfortable place, I started using heat tools sparingly, just for special events or occasions.</p><p>When I do decide to use heat tools, I am extremely careful about the products I put on my hair from the heat protectant to the actual tools. When I was sent the <a href="https://amzn.to/32NYOav" target="_blank">Tineco MODA ONE</a>, my first reaction was that the high-tech device looked like it came from the robotic future. My second reaction was wondering what exactly made it a "smart" hair dryer.</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2647731093-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot(window._sectionAndPostAdSettings+'/feed_1x1', [1, 1], 'div-gpt-2647731093-content-ad').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2647731093-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><p>Essentially, the technology in the hair dryer detects hair moisture levels and automatically adjusts damaging heat — it even has a light sensor that tells you when you're getting dangerously close to your scalp in a way that could cause damage. The result is a soft, smooth blowout similar to ones I've spent thousands of dollars on over the course of my life, straight from my home with minimal product, damage, and time spent.</p><h2>How It Works</h2><p>I use this one of two ways: either with a paddle brush to get a sleek, straight look or with a big round brush to get big, voluminous waves. </p><p>When I'm out of the shower, I wait for my hair to air dry about halfway and put in a hair oil like <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/ritual-hair-oil-P431830" target="_blank">this one with heat protectant in it from Playa</a>, for some moisture. After combing through my hair gently, I'll plug in the hair dryer. </p><p>Whether I'm choosing a straight, sleek look or a wavy one, I'll section my hair off into three to five parts on each side of my head, slowly brushing through my hair with one hand and letting the hair dryer follow along with my other. Before using this hair dryer, I've used a lot of low-quality ones, so I'm used to having it nearly touch my hair, or at least the hairbrush. </p><p>However, the focused nozzle on <a href="https://amzn.to/32NYOav" target="_blank">the MODA ONE</a> makes it easy to hold the dryer about six to eight inches away from my head and still feel like it's providing heat — more than that, the neon blue ring light surrounding the base of the dryer turns red when it senses you've gotten close enough to your scalp to cause damage. </p><p>I just have to go through each strand of hair once or twice before it's completely dry, after which I put in another serum or some more dry oil for added shine. </p><h2>How It Compares</h2><p>I've used the famous Dyson Hair Dryer several times because they have them at the gym I go to. The <a href="https://amzn.to/32NYOav" target="_blank">MODA ONE</a> is comparable in its speed, magnetic attachments, and smart technology. </p><p> When I'm getting ready for a big occasion or special event, it takes 10 to 15 minutes to style my hair with <a href="https://amzn.to/32NYOav" target="_blank">the MODA ONE</a> from start to finish, whereas the Dyson usually takes at least 15 to 20 minutes to dry my hair. </p><p>Both are equipped with the ability to cause less heat damage than a standard low-quality hair dryer, though I prefer the MODA ONE for the fact that it has the light that tells me when I'm getting too close to my scalp and that it leaves my hair shinier than the Dyson ever did.</p><p>The MODA ONE is also less expensive than a Dyson — the former is $300 where the Dyson is $400.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>While the MODA ONE is, of course, expensive, I highly recommend it to anyone who gets regular blowouts and wants to avoid frequent salon visits. I have friends who get blowouts every weekend or at least every month. This is great for them. I also think this is an incredibly important investment for anyone who regularly blow-dries their hair — the way it prevents heat damage is a true investment in hair health.</p><p>I also recommend this is a great tool for anyone with really curly hair. For example, the diffuser attachment worked wonders on my sister's thick, curly, coarse hair. </p><h3><a href="https://amzn.to/32NYOav" target="_blank">Get the Tineco MODA ONE Smart Ionic Hair Dryer on Amazon for $300.</a></h3><p><em>Odyssey may earn a portion of purchases made via links on this page.</em></p>
