<p>In episode 49 of the podcast I speak with Letisha Bates, a registered health coach, who talks about her PCOS and weight loss journey, identifying some of the key areas she focused on to treat her PCOS and lose weight. She also openly shares her struggle with depression and her eating disorder. Letisha provides some tips and strategies on what she does to overcome them.</p> <p>It was such an honour to have Letisha on the podcast and to hear her story. It is not always easy to be open on personal matters such as these but Letisha openly shared everything. As she mentions in the episode, her goal is to be as transparent as possible about her journey. She wants to document the good and the bad, but to also put an end to the sigma surrounding depression and mental health.</p> <p>Letisha (<a href='https://www.instagram.com/bateslovesweights/'>@bateslovesweights</a>) is a registered health coach, certified in holistic nutrition and weight loss for women. As a woman diagnosed with PCOS, Letisha understands the struggles and risks that accompany this diagnosis. Her struggles and successes inspired her to learn more about health and wellness. During her studies she began to realize the information that helps women is not the information commonly shared. This fuelled her passion to inspire, empower, and educate women on their bodies and how to live free from all the things that are holding them back.</p> <p>Find out</p> <ul><li>Letisha's PCOS and weight loss journey [00:05:53]</li> <li>What insulin resistance is [00:22:47]</li> <li>Key strategies and areas that are important when it comes to treating insulin resistant PCOS.
