Eating “peaty” as someone with PCOS has improved my hair a lot!

I just wanted to share my hair progess over the years. When I was diagnosed with pcos in 2018 I was eating a vegan diet for 2 years and what I found online was it’s best to go low carb to treat insulin resistance and pcos 🙄 at the time I blamed the carbs in the vegan diet for my worsening pcos symptoms.

So in 2018-2019 I changed over to eating low carb, high “healthy” fat (aka lots of nuts, avocado, and pufas) and noticed over time my hair was looking like crap and falling out on my crown probably from the stress and imbalanced hormones. My acne also severely worsened.

Then I found peat at the end of 2020. The pictures I will attach are from 2019 eating low carb, and the “after” picture I took today.

I just wanted to share my hair improvements with you all. It is shinier, thicker, it filled in all the areas that it was thinning, so many baby hairs grew in. It’s really been great because my hair used to be thinning at the crown and I used to be insecure about it and always trying to part my hair certain ways to cover it.

I still am dealing with a weird condition called cold urticaria for over 2 years and I have not been able to solve that issue. Despite my weird cold allergy I still have seen so many improvements in my health since peating. (And yes I have done a full thyroid panel and testing for antibodies and it has all come back normal).
