My name is Lauren. I'm a Designer out of the Boston, MA area who is passionate about nutrition and wellness. I have an autoimmune disorder (currently classified as an endocrine disorder but there is talk to change this) known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and this blog follows my life and my ups and downs with this disorder. Please note that I am not a doctor and that everything in my blog is my own personal opinion based on my own experiences and research.

PCOS Periods + Clean Eating
I have been on birth control for twelve years now and three months ago decided to take a break. I've always been scared to because my face explodes the moment I come off of it (which it did, but that's my own fault as I have not been eating as Clean as I should) and my periods were never regular (which they now are). Thanks to the healing powers of Clean eating, I had the strength to once again try to come off of birth control. I have been tracking it and every 34 days for the last three months I have had a cycle like clockwork. My energy levels used to be so depleted during it and now they're not. Not to mention my cravings aren't ravenous anymore either. All and all it's a much more pleasurable experience than I remember. I will admit that the cramps were excruciating for an hour here or there but I blame myself for that as I snuck some gluten for my birthday this year. Staring today (Sunday, November 3, 2013) I am making a pact with myself that between now and Thanksgiving, I am going to be absolutely perfect in my clean eating. Starting with Cleansing, today. I'll be tracking my progress and taking pictures as I go so I can share my results. I'm excited to feel even better during my next cycle. Keep on trekking cysters!
