Any women with PCOS??

I’ve been navigating life with PCOS for over 10 years. It’s been a challenging journey, and I’ll be honest—I haven’t “conquered” it yet.

I used to struggle with everything—from poor eating patterns to barely moving throughout the day.

I tried multiple Fitness apps, but never could establish a habit of continuously using them. I used to get temporary relief, when I used them, but I saw no improvement and in the long term I realize that what’s preventing me from building new habits is my mind.

You see fitness apps are great at creating short term motivation, but they are far from being helpful at creating habits.

I know I’m not alone in this,and I want to support other women in the same boat.

Through my research and reading a lot of books one thing I have learned, PCOS can only be cured by lifestyle changes and I needed to change my behaviours .Well It’s hard to adopt new behaviours, and I feel what worked for me is starting small.

I went from eating unhealthily for all three meals to just one, and I started incorporating small movement breaks into my hectic 15-hour days. I’m not lifting weights or doing anything intense yet, but even a 20-minute walk outdoors has helped me feel a bit more in control.

My journey for answers led me to Building Potion, where our mission is to help chronic patients build sustainable habits through behaviour change and we are using proven behaviour science techniques like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

We are starting with PCOS and want to help women be more active in their daily lives.

The goal with Potion is not just to help you lose weight it’s to improve the quality of life for patients and their long term health.

We have interviewed over 80 women and are running a very raw and simple prototype via Whatsapp, where we are helping 12 women build personalised habits around their hectic schedules.

Would love to learn, how are you women controlling your PCOS ?
